				Where's Coolant Engine Drain Plug on a 300 TD?
			 
			
			
			I am trying to drain the coolant on a 300 TD and I can see where the drain plug for the radiator is, but I don't know where to find the plug on the engine block.

				I'm not sure of your model year...
			 
			
			
			If you have a 617 series engine, there are a couple of photos in the DIY Wiki thing.  Up at the top of your screen under "Resources" choose "DIY Articles", then "Engine", then "OM617 engine block drain removal". 
		
		
		
			
		
		
		
		
		
		
		
	
	I have not done it yet, but it is supposedly anterior to the starter, accessed via passenger side wheel well.  |
