Manxmann Posted April 4, 2008 Posted April 4, 2008 The plastic drain plug popped out of the radiator today allowing the coolant to escape. Hopefully no harm is done but the plug seems strange as it does not screw in. Is it a bayonet type fitting ? It locates and turns 1/4 turn clockwise ans appears secure and watertight. Please advise if this is a common fitment on the saxo. And if 1/4 turn is correct..Thanks in advance.. 1997 Saxo VTR Quote
Johndouglas Posted April 4, 2008 Posted April 4, 2008 Yes! sounds similar to what was on my Xantia. You're lucky to have it. Many models don't have a drain plug now. Only means of draining is to remove the bottom hose. Penny pinchers!!!! Quote
Manxmann Posted April 4, 2008 Author Posted April 4, 2008 Thanks for the quick response.. Just discovered a similar plastic plug vertically opposite the drain plug at the top and it too has the 1/4 turn fitting.. Don't know if I like the idea .. Hope they stay in place anyway.. Thanks again for your input. Keith F Quote
