You should remove the intercooler to get to the radiator drain plug. The intercooler is super easy to remove. Two T-20 or T-25 torx screw on each side. Then pull the quick-clamp from the charge pipes off. When the intercooler falls out, you will see a blue plastic screw on the driver's side. This screw is the radiator drain plug. Unscrew this to drain the radiator fluid.

You dont have to completely remove the intercooler, just remove the torx bolts, that will give enough space to reach the drain without unhooking the charge pipes. A long screwdriver with a big head should be able to twist the plastic plug. I didnt have a big screwdriver, what i did is i stuck a penny upright at the en of a hex extention and thats how i unscrew the cap
