Replacing the Car Radiator

Model: BMW Serie 5 E39 - Years 1995-2003
Part: Radiator

A well-functioning radiator is essential to ensure that the car always runs at its best and to avoid engine troubles. Replacing it is not particularly difficult. It is preferable to perform the operation when the system is cold to avoid burns. Disconnect the coolant hose, placing a drain pan underneath to catch the fluid. Once the lower hose and return hose are disconnected, remove the mounting points and then the radiator. Position the new radiator and connect the hoses, filling the reservoir with coolant.
