As topic says...I'm having trouble finding where to drain it from...my radiator fluid is pretty dirty...want to do this before winter hits.

 

If you look at the bottom right of the radiator pictured in the diagram you will see the drain plug.

Hope this diagram helps you out a bit.

 

Nice! Now I know where it is......I just got the car and don't know where everything is at just yet...

 

its a butterfly nut on the bottom left hand side (passenger side) of the Rad.

 

Do you twist it or use a wrench or something like that?

 

twist. but if its tight on there you can use pliers (sp)

 

Ok... Thank's a lot man!

 

Awesome...BTW do i have to take off that splash guard under the front end to get to it? or is there an access panel?

 

Yes, you do have to take off the splash guard.

 

Is there a trick to doing that? I can't remember if there are clips or you just unscrew some screws.

 

its just some skrews

 

does anyone know where the drain bolt/plug is on the block? or is there one? is it different on different motors (d-series)? thanks. and how do you guys go about "flushing" the system? do you just drain, refill, and repeat? just curious about learning some better, more effective techniques.

 

the drain bolt on the block is on the front to the right of the engine code.. it's a bolt . can't miss it

 

I flused my radiator today and it was so easy. Once I unscrewed the butterfly screw I just oped the radiator cap and that bad boy poored... I didnt even go under the car to unscrew it, I just looked in the engine bay and can see it then just reached under the bumper and bam done!

 

make sure you bleed it to get all the air bubbles out

 

ok!
