Draining coolant

[bigeyerex]

hi everyone can anyone tell me how to drain the coolant from my D4D 2.2 , its developed a little white smoke from the exhaust , so want to remove and flush the coolant before replacing with a sealer and water, the one i have bought says it should not be mixed with red or blue anti freeze, until cured, once done replace with the correct anti freeze. I have looked and there is not a drain plug on the radiator. i have the car up on ramps awaiting your replies!

Undo a hose at the bottom and let it out.

BTW I personally wouldn't use any form of sealer.  Also I note in your other thread the car is quite new to you - I'd hang on a bit to find out if it's the head gasket or not before I faffed about with a coolant change.

the water is dropping and white smoke from the exhaust , if it was just white smoke i would look for a hole or crack in the inter cooler pipe. the pipes are not very easy to get to  on my car,  there should be a drain somewhere !
