Default Drain radiator: where is the drain plug?

I have a 1998 Audi A4 1.8T Quattro tip. Anyone have a picture or illustration of where to find the radiator drain plug?

I've been under the car and can't find it on the lower radiator on either side.

I have drained using lower radiator hose, but I want to flush it good, because when I fill, it's still not circulating well.

Default Bottom, right. Towards the front. It looks like a red plastic button

Using a philips head screwdriver turn it counter clockwise.
