Ok everyone I really need help. I went out last week and bought some Dexcool, distilled water, and radiator flush. I read all the posts that I could find, and got under the car. 3 hours later, I still did not have any coolant coming out. All I managed to do was drain some of the windshield washer fluid . I cannot find the drain plug, and even if I could, it doesn't sound easy to get out. I found a hose that was near the manifold and had a wire/plug attached to it (oxygen sensor??). I would try to take this off, but I couldn't get that plastic clip that holds it on. I have spend about 6 hours, and have not come any closer. Thanks guys for any help.




First off, don't use Dexcool, unless you want to see built-up sludge in your fill tank and seepings at all of your hose connections...and honestly, if you've drained your washer fluid and were in the process of removing your O2 sensor, instead of draining your radiator, spending over 6 hours of your time, you really might want to consider having someone else do it for you.

That's probably not what you wanted to hear, but it's good advice, regardless.
