Hi,
I’m wondering if anyone can help, i have a 1.2 turbo petrol, and i need to renew my anti freeze, I’m really struggling to find information.
I’m trying to find out where the drain is for the radiator (if there is one), what coolant is recommended, and the capacity of the coolant system.
If anyone knows the answers to these, I’ll be very grateful, thank you!
P.S can anyone tell me if the online Haynes manual is worth having?

I can't help with the antifreeze type/Qty as the Grandland isn't covered on my parts cat,
the drain/refill info i do have
the drain is straightforward you just remove the coolant cap,drop the front compartment insulator then pull the clip from the bottom rad hose .
the filling isn't so straightforward with the instructions showing a specialist bit of kit to put on the coolant bottle for the refill
My recommendation would be to first get a price for doing it from a dealer,it may save a lot of hassle

Cooling System Filling
Caution: The procedure below must be followed. Improper coolant level could result in a low or high coolant level condition, causing engine damage.

1. Install the CH-52423 funnel (2) to the radiator surge tank.
2. Open the CH-52423 blocking rod (1).
3. Remove the ventilation cap from the heater outlet hose
4. Slowly fill the cooling system with a 50/50 coolant mixture until the CH-52423 funnel is approximately half-full.
5. Install the ventilation cap to the heater outlet hose when bubble-free coolant starts to drain out of the vent hole.
6. Rear Intake Air Duct » Remove
7. { If equipped } Remove the vent screw from the engine coolant thermostat housing.
8. { If equipped } Install the vent screw to the engine coolant thermostat housing when bubble-free coolant starts to drain out of the vent hole.
