How to Remove and Replace the Radiator

Model: Fiat Punto MK 2, 188 - Years 1999-2011
Part: Radiator

Before starting to remove the radiator, first drain the coolant. Open the expansion tank cap and the valve on the opposite side as shown in the images. Position a container under the vehicle and wear gloves as the fluid may be toxic. Unscrew the clip, then detach the rubber hose to allow the fluid to drain. Now unscrew the screw under the bonnet latch. Remove the support bracket and disconnect the fan wires. Next, unscrew the four screws on the sides of the fan support. Carefully extract the fan and also detach the upper hose. At this point, simply unclip the radiator, retrieving the fixing rubbers. Refit the new radiator by following the same steps in reverse. Car model: FIAT PUNTO
Required tools: 10-8mm socket wrenches.
