Coolant drain plugs?

[cantfindausername]

After a quick answer here... Where are the engine drain plugs for the coolant?

I've got the manual for the Gen 3 camry, but its just going on about the 1MVFE and the 5SFE.

What manual do I need for the 3MVFE? :freak3:

It was quite a wierd one when we got to it. Took the bolt out. looks like a temp sensor. Nothing came out. Gave it a poke inside with a small screw driver and out it came.

The nob that owned the car before has run it on normal h2o for, i imagine the entire life of the car. All the pipes coated quite thickly with rust.

I'll get nina to properly update her thread later on.

we just cut the radiator pipes, did the trick fine.
