SE coolant drain plug on the block?

Postby ASE05 » Tue Sep 22, 2009 1:57 pm

Do they have one and if so, were the hell does it hide?

TheMissus NA6 has it, my hilux has one. I had a look around last time I was under there but couldn't find it.

Any help appreciated.

I know of an oil drain plug, but coolant drain plug is on the radiator...
