Pierre235, thanks for the relpy on the drain plug. I am trying to flush the radiator becuse it has a rust looking water in it. I was told to drain it at the plug, start the car, turn on the heater, and place a water hose in the top of the radiator? If I pluu the hose at the water pump the solution I was told will not work will it? if not please tell me what will
