Model: Audi Q5 MK 1, 8R - Years 2008-2017
Part: Radiator

Before you can start, open the hood of your Audi Q5. Begin by removing the bumper and the front headlights by unscrewing the mounting screws and releasing the support clips. Next, disconnect the hoses connected to the radiator, then unscrew the bolts that secure the radiator to the frame. After that, unclip and remove the radiator itself. This will give you access to the radiator fan. Proceed to unscrew and remove the screws that secure the fan to the radiator, then remove the fan itself, and you will have completed the disassembly. To install the new fan, follow these steps in reverse, and you will have completed the replacement.
