I'm under my car right now trying to drain my coolant and cant seem to find the plug on the radiator! I know the book just says on the bottom well no ****! do I need to remove the lower bumper?! any help asap is much appreciated.

 

when you are standing in front of the car its gona be on your right hand side bottom right corner of the radiator
i drained mine when was doing my timing belt and the bumper was off, i dont know if you can do it with the bumper on, but you probably can
ohh and i believe its an orange cap

 

It'll be hard to get to with the bumper on.

 

yeah its actually red but you should be able to see once you remove the condenser bolts and can easily maneuver it and get to the drain screw valve. Remember its not an actual cap..it a screw valve, like the type that opens your kitchen and bathroom faucets and the coolant comes out through the little drain right next to it. It'll be easier if you loosen up the bumper too

 

Screw that! Removed hose at thermostat!
Thanks tho!

 

You could have removed the water pump drain bolt.

 

question! while I 1st drained I got about 1.25 gallons out. after 1st flush I only got about .90 gallons?! Wheres the rest!

Ok just drained again right after motor @ temp. and my hand was under it as it rushed out and the water was all cold so I'm guessing im not getting water somewhere so I guess i'm going to try the water pump

 

never mind. Decided to pull water pump drain and found the other gallon steamin hott! Thanks for eveyones help!

 

also when i was putting new coolant back in i found out that i had to turn the heater up in the car all the way to make the coolant go down i guess that there was air traped in there ;p
