where is the water drain plug on my 1.8 1993. The 1.6 and 1.8 are supposed to be on the front.2ltr and diesel on back.
Got people stumped on this, know one seems to Know.
Is it next to the oil filter?

Grant,
When I changed the rad in my TD I got the front up on ramps and drained the system from the rad drain (plus taking the hoses off the rad. I got about 8 litres in the bucket, and there was plenty on the floor (9 litre capacity), so I didn't bother with the block drain.

<font size="2">Actually I think you're right here. When I did mine a couple of years ago, I was told not to bother with the drain plug at all. I've forgotten the guy who gave me this advice but I reckon he's the sort to be on this forum. Would you be satisfied with this resolution Grant?</font id="size2">

As long as I get all the fluid out and dirt, Im not to bothered.
I would like to avoid taking the bottom hoze off because im a bit woried that it wont go on again and or I will brake the clip.
Will most of it drain through the rad anyway?
Isnt the rad drain as low as the dottom hoze, ie doesnt the water natualy flow down the bottom hoze to the rad?
Could a put it on a downward slope to help out?
