Removal
1. Drain the coolant ("Coolant - Replacement").
2. Remove the electric fan (see "Electric fan - removal, disassembly and installation").
3. Use pliers to loosen the clamp. we move it along the hose and disconnect the radiator steam outlet hose.
4. Similarly, disconnect the lower radiator hose...
... and the top one.
Advice: Replace the band clamp with a more reliable one (for example, screw).
5. Using a 10 mm wrench, unscrew the two radiator mounting nuts.
6. Tilt the radiator back...
... and carefully remove it from the engine compartment.
7. If necessary, remove the two rubber supports from the radiator and unscrew the drain plug with the gasket.
Installation
Advice: If the radiator has been in use, clean it from dirt on the outside before installation. Wash its interior with a cleaning agent for the cooling system ("Operating and repair materials"), and from the outside - with a stream of water.
1. When replacing a radiator, we move the rubber supports and the drain plug with the gasket to the new radiator (if they are missing on the new radiator).
2. Install the radiator in place in the reverse order of removal.
3. Install the electric fan and connect the wiring harness blocks.
4. Fill the engine cooling system with liquid ("Coolant - Replacement").
5. Make sure there is no coolant leakage at the connection points. If necessary, replace the hose clamps with screw clamps. We replace damaged hoses.
Note: When tightening the screw clamps, do not overtighten them, as they may cut the hoses.
