Engine coolant help
I have a 98 Corsa 1.4 ls 5dr, petrol. Firstly where is the coolant cap in relation to the engine? I have no owners manual so a engine diagram would be really helpful. Secondly, do I just put antifreeze/coolant straight in there or mix it with water first? bearing in mind i dont want to completely replace the coolant just top it up. Any advice would be much appreciated and sorry for being so clueless when it comes to cars. ta, jack.
