Default Can't find the radiator drain plug! Help!

2000 A6 2.7T with the 6 speed manual transmission. Time for a timing belt change and I have all the parts and rented the appropriate tools but I cant find the radiator drain plug that is supposed to be under on the drivers side. I can't find it! I am stuck. Any explaination or pics would help. I need to get her back on the road soon. Thanks.

can you pull a radiator hose and empty it that way? Ive replaced radiators that had the stupid plug rusted on, and I just pulled the lower hose and whooosh all the fluid comes out.... just a thought if you cant find it.

That should work just fine. The hose clamp may need to be replaced though...
