Yes, there is the drain (blue) plug in the radiator, plus there should be a block drain on the engine too.

For antifreez, you have two choices, either MB coolant from the dealer, or Zerex G-05 (My choice). These are the only two certified for use in MB diesels. Don't cheap out on this, broken radiator parts are what you get from other stuff, and it just isn't worth it to shave $30 (if that) every 150,000 miles.......
