Radiator Drain Plug?

Post by Dust Bowl Ditties »

I have a 94 MX-3 GS ( I love this car!) and I am trying to flush the radiator but I can not find the Drain Plug!

If the radiator has been replaced with a cheap aftermarket unit, there is a possibility it has NO drain plug.

Just disconnect the lower hose, and drain it. Like K said, some radiators don't have a drain plug.

The factory rad has it on the other side so yours is not a common location. Disconnecting the lower hose is the proper way to drain your system anyway.

I know you believe that you understand what you think I said but I'm sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant.
