Radiator Replacement on Citroen C3

Model: Citroen C3 FC, FN - Years 2002-2009
Part: Radiator

Lift the car to work on the underside of the radiator. Remove the clip securing the hose to the exchanger and disconnect it to allow the coolant to drain (as there are no taps or valves for this purpose). Once the liquid is collected in a suitable container, move to the top of the bonnet to extract the radiator: the "only" issue is creating enough space to remove it, as the radiator is not small. Therefore, disconnect any ducts and connectors that obstruct access, unscrew the fan compartment first, and then disconnect the radiator to remove it.
