Volkswagen Radiator Removal |
| *Warning* Make sure the engine is completely cool before you install or remove your radiator. |
- Disconnect the negative battery cable from the battery.
- Drain the cooling system. If the coolant is relatively new and in good condition, save and reuse it.
- Loosen the hose clamps, then detach the radiator hoses from the fittings. If they stick, grasp each hose near the end with adjustable pliers, twist to break the seal, and pull off.
(Note: Do not distort the radiator fittings. If the hoses are old or deteriorated, cut them off and install new ones.)
- Disconnect the reservoir hose from the radiator.
- Remove the clip that attaches the radiator hose to the body.
- Unplug the electrical connector from the radiator thermoswitch.
- Remove the radiator mounting bolts.
- Carefully lift out the radiator.
(Note: Do not spill coolant on the vehicle or scratch the paint.)
- Check the radiator for any leaks and damage. If repair is necessary, go to a radiator shop or dealer service department.
- With compressed air or a soft brush, remove bugs, dirt, or any other debris from the radiator. Do not bend the cooling fins.
