Well, I got some splendid f*n news for me! The freakin drain cap is on so tight that bent my allen wrench and stripped the corners on the cap. It's either rusted on there with the strength of Ironman, or German's don't know their righty tightys. I'll try some PB blaster on it if I can get some tomorrow.

The most concerning part now is after 10 minutes of sitting in idle and pump the gas pedal, the gauge still reads 100 and my heater isn't working even tho it's on high.

Feel like it will never end :-/

Thanks for the advice with the cleaner Jeff. With how fussy it's being I wouldn't have trusted anything other than distilled water. That is if I can even get this cap off.
