RayC333 Posted July 28 Share Posted July 28 I would expect to have to turn it more than a quarter turn. Use a pair of pliers if the plug is stiff. Just work it back and forth circumferentially, don't force it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redoor43 Posted July 28 Author Share Posted July 28 Thanks for your reply, i tried that but its solid once it becomes vertical, i think the water is supposed to leak out of a small drainage spout below the plug but i dont want to break anything.

TomsFocus Posted July 28 Share Posted July 28 It does only move quarter turn. You need to pull it straight backwards now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redoor43 Posted July 28 Author Share Posted July 28 ok thank you for the quick reply Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RayC333 Posted July 28 Share Posted July 28 Sorry, I thought I'd remembered a half turn before it pulled out. Coolant is meant to come out the drainage spout but I found on my car it was blocked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RayC333 Posted July 28 Share Posted July 28 Or maybe your drain plug is like this one? https://www.carcarekiosk.com/video/2018_Ford_EcoSport_Titanium_2.0L_4_Cyl./coolant_antifreeze/flush_coolant Section 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
