Where is the coolant drain port located on the Great Wall Coolbear?

Great Wall Coolbear does not have a coolant drain port. Generally, the return hose under the radiator is removed for drainage. Below is some relevant information about antifreeze: 1. Definition: Antifreeze prevents the coolant from freezing during cold winter parking, which could crack the radiator and freeze the engine cylinder block. 2. Function: It provides anti-corrosion protection for components of the cooling system. It prevents scale formation, avoiding reduced heat dissipation in the radiator. It ensures the engine operates within the normal temperature range. It must have characteristics such as anti-freeze, anti-boiling, anti-corrosion, anti-scale, and no foam, and is unaffected by seasons or regions.
I have previously worked on the coolant system maintenance of the Great Wall Coolbear. The coolant drain port is typically located near the bottom of the radiator. Specifically, in the Great Wall Coolbear model, you'll find the radiator at the front of the engine compartment, usually positioned toward the lower front of the vehicle. The drain port is a small plastic plug or valve situated at the lower right or left corner of the radiator, resembling a small cap that can be unscrewed using a wrench or by hand. When draining the coolant, I recommend parking the vehicle on level ground and waiting until the engine has completely cooled to avoid burns. Place a container underneath to catch the old fluid, preventing environmental contamination. After draining, ensure the plug is tightly sealed to prevent leaks that could damage the engine. This design facilitates regular coolant replacement, recommended approximately every two years, to maintain the system's antifreeze and anticorrosion properties, enhance engine longevity, and prevent overheating issues. If unsure, it's best to consult the owner's manual or seek advice from a professional workshop.
