Draining Coolant Help...

[snookwhaler]

I was planning to do a bunch of stuff on the car today. I left a bunch of parts including my Haynes manual outside last night. It poured down rain and the manual is ruined. Would getting another one of these manuals be sufficient or should I go for the Bentley manual?

Also, I was planning on draining and re-filling the coolant, replacing the thermostat, replacing the thermostat bolts and doing the timing belt change.

The things I needed from the manual are:

1.) the location of the coolant drain on the engine

2.) torque specs on water pump bolts

3.) torque specs on idler and tensioner pulley bolts

Any help with these things is greatly appreciated. I have been searching on here for a while with no luck.

There is one drain on the bottom of the radiator, you have to remove the plastic wind deflector to get to it. The engine drain is on the back of the engine, on the passenger side, above the axle.

I don't think that there is a Bentley manual for the 850. There is a free downloadable manual here:

It's for a 95 but I'll bet most things are the same for all 850's.

That is one of the things I was looking for. Thanks!

Is there any torque values on the water pump bolts and the idler/tensioner pulley bolts? Or do I just tighten them snug?

water pump bolts 15 ft-lbs as noted above

timing belt idler pulley 18 ft-lbs

timing belt tensioner bolts 18 ft-lbs

timing belt tensioner pulley 30 ft-lbs for 1993 model year, 22 ft-lbs for 1994 on

all from the haynes manual

You can buy a Hayne's manual.

You shouldn't have to remove the wind screen below the rad to drain it. There was a hole on mine.
