My Micra has an electrical cable clipped to the coolant reserve tank (bracket on the back visible at 2:02), making it exceedingly difficult to remove. I used a pump to suck the fluid out instead and fllushed it once or twice. Also, that radiator drain plug is incredibly flimsy, being made of soft nylon but screwed in very tightly. Very easy to strip the head on it, especially with repeated opening and closing. I added G12+ coolant, which is bright pink. The inevitable trace of the blue/green Nissan coolant left in the system turns it to a dirty orange colour.

That's a good way to suck the fluid out and give it a clean 👍
Thank you for this easy to follow instructional video.. How much ionised water should be filled in…
The one I got was already mixed. But if you're using ionised water it should be 50% mix
Big thanks ! This one not need blue coolant ?
Yes, you should keep the same colour that you already use. I used green, it was given by Nissan.
@@micradocs Thank you !
If i want complete change to Liqui Moly Red one ?@@micradocs
Do you top up to the max mark or just under also Can you use any green colour coolant just to top up if necessary?
Top it up to the max in the radiator, as for the container as long as it's above the minimum then you should be fine
Also check your car details for which coolant is suitable for your car
there is any air valve id you put out the two water cables for change the plugs? i got a micra year 2016 lgp petrol k13
An excellent , concise video. Is this for a Micra K13?
Thanks, should be suitable for all Micra's
