mightyvr6 0 Posted March 22, 2005 Report Share Posted March 22, 2005 The drain plug is on the plastic pipe or "crack pipe" which goes from the water pump to the thermostat housing and can be unscrewed from underneath the car with a flat screwdriver. Link to post Share on other sites
cliveyp 0 Posted March 23, 2005 Report Share Posted March 23, 2005 whats the best way to flush the system through too?? I'm planning on getting a new expantion tank sometime as mines that dirty, but i thought i might as well flush the system though when its off to get rid of the crud. Any suggestions??
