prepping for winter..

[MaXimaSE]

ok, winter is slowly approaching here in Pennsylvania. The first week I had the car I changed the Oil, Plugs, Filter, etc. and I attempted to do a flushing of the radiator, but low and behold I have a drain plug that is rounded off, their are no threads at all.. I really want to flush my radiator out but I guess Im pretty much SOL because of that damn drain plug huh??

When my girlfriend finds the digital camera, I will crawl under the car and take a picture of It.. its brutal.

any help would be appreciated..

The drain plug is plastic right? Go buy a new one?

Get your screwdriver to take out the SCREWor wrap Nutria fur around radiator

yeah the drain plug is plastic, but It is impossible to get out of the bottom of the radiator. There are no threads on the plug at all, It just looks like a shredded peice of plastic where the threads would normally be..

Nutria Fur?

Drill it out or use Nutria tooth to pull it out

If you're just looking to clean the radiator itself, you can always remove the upper and lower hoses and flush it with water.

If you want to flush the entire system, some shops have a machine the hooks up in line with the upper radiator hose and replaces all the coolant in the system.
