Thanks Jaime. I found it and drained the block. I jacked up the car just enough to access it through the wheel well with a bunch of extensions.

Its a 19mm plug... perhaps 17, but I'm fairly sure 19. Its one of the those thing you need do some trial and error with to get at... above or below, extension or not, etc. I recommend removing this plug before draining the radiator and opening the cap... having no other opening in the system will significantly reduce the flow at first and give you a chance to get out of the way.

Does anyone know if they exist on this car? If not, what is the preferred method of coolant drainage that would completely rid the car of old coolant? _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com For new and used parts go to www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com -- Jaime Kopchinski http://www.jaimekop.com/ _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com For new and used parts go to www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com For new and used parts go to www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
