Radiator drain cock?

[Dave5635]

I was giving my 2000 Accent GL a tuneup and I could not find the drain cock for the radiator anywhere. The instruction manual makes it sound so simple to change the fluid and it would be simple if I could just find the drain plug/valve. If anyone can tell me where to look I would be very thankful.

Look on the bottom of the radiator, about in the middle. IIRC, there is a hole in the plastic so that the coolant will drain through w/o hitting it. Just look on the bottom of the radiator, look around, I know it's there. Be sure not to put in that crappy orange stuff... it's no good.

easy way to find it is to undo the 2 10mm hex bolts that hold the air intake snorkel to the radiator support panel and just lift off the intake. there'll be heaps of room then to just reach down to the bottom of the radiator and undo the drain cock.
it really is an easy job after you take the intake chamber off.

Well if you get desperate you could always take off the hose
