Radiator bottom hose - which one?

Hi all,

Simple question. Looking to drain coolant and replace. Which is the bottom hose on my 05 d3?!

This one on drivers side:

Or one of these 3:

Logic says first but lr guide suggested removing rad cover and it being one of the 3. But I can't see if these hit lower rad.

Thanks
Mike

On mine (V6 Petrol) it is the one going to the lower radiator connection - also has the thermostat down there as well.

I took the large hose off the thermostat in your second picture. Drained the system no problems. I figured it's got to be the lowest point on the system so it's the best place to drain.
Re-fitted hose, re-filled, bled, topped up. No problems.

Thanks All,

Left the intercooler alone Wink and went for the thermostat one. All drained and replaced.

Cheers
