DIY - 2014 Opel Corsa D 1.4: Change the coolant

In this video we're changing the coolant in our Corsa D. The car is 7 years old and still had the original coolant mix, which was down to about 35 % antifreeze and 65 % water. The coolant reservoir was also a bit dirty and we decided to clean it. We discovered that the engine block holds about 50 % of the total coolant in the system (about 2.7L out of 6L), meaning that we're only replacing about half of the total coolant with this operation. We'll do another coolant change in a couple of weeks, in order to reach a mix of about 75 % new to 25 % old coolant, which should last us for a few years.
