to drain the radiator get a bucket first of all secone pop the hood and look down towards the bottom of the radiator on the left hand side (in some cases you might have to go under the car) you should see a small white screw looking thing this is the drain take it out and the coolant will drain
if you want to drain the heater core as well just start the car as the radiator is draining and turn the heater on full blast

- it might as long as you put the right mixture of coolant to water the mixture is 50/50 you can buy straight up coolant and mix it with water or u can buy coolant that is already mixed properly and put it right in if this doesnt help the overheating then it could be something else maybe the thermostat one way to check the thermostat it to try to turn on the a/c if the wont put out cold air then its probably the thermonstat ....hope this helped

- im sorry but i did not read your second comment right did you say you werent gettin hot air out of your heater? is this is the case then the thermostat is almost certainly the problem what is most likely happening in the case is the thermostat is stuck shut so now coolant is flowing freely..this cause the engine to overheat because the coolant cannot flow so it constantly stays hot...the heater isnt puttin out hot air because that water is stuck in the cooler part of the block and isnt getting hot you may want to get this checked out by a mechanic but i am almost certain that is the problem once again im sorry for misreading you and please disregard my last post

Replaced the battery in my 03 BMW 325i. Understandably, all pre-sets went missing, seats, radio, clock. Reset all and everything is fine except the clock. It needs to be reset each time the car is restarted. Any suggestions?
