Coolant Drain Block Plug

Manual would indicate that there is a plug in the block to drain the coolant from but I can't find it and there's no picture. Anyone know where this is?

Thanks

Because the turbo charger uses it to cool the turbo. Its the one near the reinforcement bracket.

Ohh Ok, well that's what I did end up disconnecting.

On a related note. The Prestone cooling system flush I bought did nothing for the mineral deposits in my rad. The rad seems like it would be fine if I could just find something to dissolve the minerals. I've heard vinegar but.

Thanks

88 dont waste your time those deposits are permanent and nothing can desolve them. Always use distilled watter when mixing coolant. Or better yet get pre mixed and be safe. A new radiator is in your future. Have a good day Sir

The picture is currently unavailable.  Is there anyplace I can see a picture of where that drain plug is located?

There is no drain plug as such on 87-88 TCs. Only the NA 2.3 engines and 83 to 85 TCs with air/oil cooled turbos have a plug (looks like a pipe plug from the hardware store). The 86-88 with the water cooled turbos have a bung in place of the pipe plug on the 83-85 cars that attaches to the return line from the water cooled turbo.

Jack the car up and have a look on the pass side of the block near the back of the block several inches above the pan rail. There will be a bung (I seem to remember it is 1/4" NPT). There will be a short piece of hose (silicone high temp hose) on the bung with a metal line on the other end of the short hose heading up to the turbo. If you want to drain the block, just undo the hose from the bung.
