Mitsubishi Montero/Pajero 2004 Engine Coolant Flush
Hello!
I'm new to the forum. Have been all day trying to find specific info about the next topic, but have been unable to do so.
I have a Mitsubishi Montero/Pajero 2004 3.8L Gas. Car is overheating, and my mechanic diagnosed a radiator problem.
I'm a car enthusiast, so I removed the radiator by myself. In the process I found that the coolant had rust in it, so I want to flush the system after I repair the radiator.
Now, when checking the manual, there are two engine block flush bolts that I need to remove, but I CAN'T FIND THEM!! If they are under the exhaust manifolds I do not want to remove them, so is there another way of doing a complete flush without issues? Is it enough if I just drain the system through the radiator drain plug and removing the lower hose and thermostat, or there is another thing that I have to remove as well?
PS: If you have real photos of the engine block drain plugs I would really appreciate it. The diagrams I looked are confusing to me.
