Radiator fluid drain plugs
I own a S70. I want to drain my radiator fluid. The manual says to loosen two plugs on the engine. Does anyone have a picture where these plugs are? I am use to US cars with the petcock on the bottom of the radiator. Thanks.
All cars have engine block drain plugs, in addition to the radiator plug. There IS a radiator plug as well- it's on the bottom left side of the radiator. The block drain plugs are on the sides of the engine- that would be front and back as you face the car, since the engine is sideways- the back one is near the bottom of the timing belt housing, and the front one is near the center. No pics, but you'll see them- they look like giant brake bleeder screws. The nipple is so you can attach a hose and drain it into a pan instead of splashing it everywhere. You SHOULD drain the block on these cars because a lot of coolant stays in the engine due to its design. But ALL cars have block drain plugs somewhere.
