Removal
1. Drain the coolant from the car (see items 1-7 "Replacing the coolant").
2. Remove the radiator cooling fan.
3. Disconnect the engine radiator steam outlet hose from the expansion tank.
4. After loosening the clamp, disconnect the lower radiator hose.
5. Carefully remove the radiator from the engine compartment.
6. If you are replacing the radiator, remove the steam outlet hose, two rubber supports and the drain plug with the gasket.
Installation
1. If the radiator has been in use, before installation we wash its internal cavity with a stream of water and detergent, clean and wash it from the outside.
When replacing a radiator, we transfer 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 and all removed parts back into place on the vehicle in the reverse order of removal.
3. We also install the radiator cooling fan in the reverse order of removal, and connect the wiring harness connector.
4. Connect the hoses and pipes to the radiator and fill the engine cooling system with liquid (see "Replacing the coolant").
5. Start the car engine and make sure there is no coolant leak; if necessary, fix the problem.
