Hello everyone. I am new here and have a 2006 3I. I can't find a drain for the radiator. Is there one? Need to change the coolant. Thanks in advance for the help.

 

on most radiators, there is a wing nut looking thing on the bottom of it, that would be your radiator drain... if not just pull of the bottom hose and let it out that way... keep in mind, if you drain your radiator it pulls out of your block too, so run the car for about 2 min after you refill the radiator the first time and let the water pump push the new antifreeze/water(if your into the old old way... hopefully not...) through the block and then turn the car off and refill the radiator... all the excess should be caught in your over flow and you should be set! ill get under my car and check next time i get the chance...

 

I could really use a little advise on flushing this radiator. I guess I am just being lazy and don't want to jack the car up to remove the rock shield and see if there is a drain. The only radiator hose you can see in coming out of the radiator is half way up from the bottom. Surely someone has replaced their coolant on one of these cars. If you can help, I would be appreciative. Thanks

 

id say just dont be lazy and do it... or look at a stock radiator online somewhere

 

if your looking in your engine bay, on the left side of the radiator, (the hose you say is about half way down, underneath that on the left side is where the drain is (assuming your automatic)
