I'm changing the upper radiator hoses on my car today and decided I might as well do a coolant flush. It's close to time anyway.

I've watched YouTube and figured this is something easily done myself. I got the plastic cover off, but can't find the radiator drain plug. I posted a couple pics of the underside of the radiator.

Is there something else I have to remove to get to the drain plug?

I can't see anything in those pics, but have you removed the intercooler?
Plenty of DIYs online, but you should especially familiarize yourself with newtis.info and maybe get a Bentley manual.

Everything I've seen in YouTube for diy has looked completely different. This is a manual and I found one where they just pull the house going to the water pump.

Is that the way it's done for a manual?

Hopefully these pics are better.

They are either side of the radiator.

The other pic is of the power steering loop. The house behind it is going to the water pump. Should I just drain from there?

Have you removed the intercooler or not?

Found a could more videos and looked up the intercooler as well.

That was it. The first handful of videos I saw didn't mention they intercooler.

Thank you relative4.
