Where is the drain port of the Chana Star 2 radiator located?
2 Answers
The drain port of the Chana Star 2 radiator is located on the horizontal edge at the bottom of the radiator under the car. There is a flat plastic screw; unscrewing it will drain the water. It is best to drain when the engine is cool, as a hot engine can cause burns. The Chana Star 2 is a commercial vehicle under the Chana brand, equipped with a 1.0L engine to meet the needs of business receptions. Below is an introduction to Chana Automobile: 1. R&D Structure: Chongqing Changan Automobile Co., Ltd., referred to as Chana Automobile. It has established a globally coordinated R&D structure with "six countries and nine locations," each with a different focus, including Chongqing, Beijing, Hebei, Hefei, Turin in Italy, Yokohama in Japan, Birmingham in the UK, Detroit in the US, and Munich in Germany. In 2014, Chana's cumulative production and sales of Chinese brand vehicles exceeded 10 million units, making it the first Chinese brand to join the "10 million club." In April 2018, Chana Automobile officially announced its third entrepreneurship-innovation plan, aiming to transform into a world-class intelligent mobility technology company. 2. R&D Center: The Chana Automobile Global R&D Center is located in the Yufu Industrial Park in Liangjiang New District, Chongqing, and was officially put into use on April 9, 2019. Covering an area of over 1,000 acres with a total investment of 4.3 billion yuan, the Chana Automobile Global R&D Center is an open, shared, and intelligent R&D platform integrating global resources. It features 7 major functions, including design, testing, and management, covering 12 major fields such as simulation analysis, noise and vibration, and collision safety. It also includes 180 laboratories for hybrid power, air conditioning systems, non-metallic materials, and a global data center built using cloud technology.
I remember the drain port for the Chang'an Star 2's radiator is located at the bottom right corner of the radiator, usually a plastic valve or small screw head. You can find it by crouching down and looking from the front of the car—it's tucked underneath on the driver's side. Before draining, make sure the engine cools down for several hours, or the hot coolant could scald you! I did this myself last week when changing the coolant—first, get a pan to catch the old fluid, use a wrench to loosen the screw, and after the fluid drains, remember to flush it clean before adding new fluid. This operation is crucial because aged antifreeze can clog the system and cause engine overheating. Replacing it every two years ensures long-term car health—don’t skip this small effort. If you notice any leaks, check immediately for loose screws or worn gaskets. It’s an easy check during routine maintenance, and even beginners can handle it.
