How to drain 2002 Volkswagen GTI's Radiator coolant? I cant seem to find the drain plug on my 2002 GTis radiator.. I need help regarding on how to drain my radiator?

Thank you in advance!!!

Follow the lower radiator hose to the radiator (Driver side of the radiator). There is a knob on the end of the fitting. Turn it 1/4 turn and pull it out. Do it by hand, it's easy to crack the fitting if you use pliers.
