Where is the water drain outlet of the Nissan Qashqai radiator located?

The water drain outlet of the Nissan Qashqai radiator is located at the bottom of the radiator. The car radiator, which is part of the vehicle's cooling system, consists of an inlet chamber, an outlet chamber, a main plate, and a radiator core in the engine's water cooling system. Taking the 2021 Nissan Qashqai Intelligent Edition as an example, its body dimensions are: length 4401mm, width 1837mm, height 1593mm, with a wheelbase of 2646mm. The 2021 Intelligent Edition Nissan Qashqai is equipped with a 2.0L naturally aspirated engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 151PS, a maximum power of 111kW, and a maximum torque of 194Nm, paired with a 7-speed continuously variable transmission.
In my experience with the Nissan Qashqai, the radiator drain outlet is typically located at the bottom of the radiator near the lower right corner. After opening the hood, the radiator is the large metal block at the front of the car. The drain outlet may be a small plastic valve or screw hole specifically designed for draining coolant. It is recommended to let the engine cool completely before replacing the coolant to avoid burns. You can gently loosen it with your hand or a wrench and place a container underneath to catch the draining liquid, preventing any mess. Key points: Replacing the coolant every two years helps prevent engine overheating and corrosion, extending its lifespan. Always wear gloves for safety during the operation. Some Qashqai models may require temporarily removing the underbody shield for better visibility of the drain outlet location.
