Radiator Removal Instructions

Model: Audi A4 B6 - Years 2000-2004
Part: Radiator

To remove the radiator, first remove the headlights, front bumper, and air conditioning condenser, recovering the refrigerant gas and ensuring it does not escape into the air. Once these components are removed, unscrew the radiator mounting bolts from their supports, extract the support bushings, disconnect the hoses by releasing the clips and allowing the refrigerant fluid to drain. After emptying and freeing the radiator, remove the plastic pins that secure the radiator to the hood latch and complete the removal.

Installation of Upgraded Intercooler Radiator with Pipes

Lift the vehicle on suitable axle stands, remove the front wheels, and then the front bumper and grille. Proceed to remove the front headlights; drain the coolant, remove the intercooler radiator and the hoses connecting it to the intake system. Position the new intercooler radiator in the grille, temporarily securing it with cable ties, and mark with a marker the part of the metal that needs to be removed to allow the new hoses to pass through. Cut the marked portion of metal and apply a gasket to the edge. Remove the inner cover of the bumper and position it near the radiator to identify any interfering parts to eliminate: again, apply a gasket to the edge of the cut. Create brackets for securing the new radiator and proceed with the installation of the connecting pipes from the radiator to the intake, shaping and connecting them appropriately. Finally, reassemble the bumper, headlights, and grille.
