Help with Flushing the radiator on my Gq

[VIRK]

Hello All !!
Can someone help me with flushing the radiator on my Gq? I am unable to locate the drain plug on the radiator. A picture or a diagram showing it's position will certainly help. Thanks

Some of the radiators don't have drain plugs. if it dose it will be in the bottom right or left corner (engine bay side).
just pull the bottom radiator hose off.
Hope this helps

I did check under the radiator and i saw a butterfly sort of plug with a small thin hose attached to it on the bottom back side of the radiator.. Do you reckon that might be it?

[Benno7]

yep thats it.

yeah thats the one but will be quicker to just drop the bottom hose will be easier to flush also.

I ended up doing this. Both of my rad hose were partially plugged - just allowing drips to come out. If yours is the same, I recommend pulling the rad and having it professionally cleaned. Also, toss that plastic drain valve and fit a brass one or seal it permanently. Those plastic things just snap when they get old and brittle.

Thank You Guys... Really Appreciate your help... Now that i am back from a fantastic trip to the vic high country i'll get the radiator sorted.
It was really nice to come across a few members of the forum at the Tablotville camp ground.. I am the guy who was snatching the jeep tj that had bogged down at well past 9.00 p.m
