How do you remove the front shock absorber and radiator in a 2012 Peugeot 3008?
Years 2009-2016

Answer

Regarding the shock absorber, the vehicle must be lifted, the fender area cleared, and the rubber removed. The upper nut in the engine compartment is unscrewed first, followed by the lower one, removing it from the suspension spring. The radiator, on the other hand, should be replaced when the engine is cold. All tubes connected to it are disconnected, the water temperature sensor or thermostat is removed, the liquid it contains is drained, and the locking pins are removed.
