Instructions for Removing the Radiator

Model: Fiat Punto 176, MK 1 - Years 1993-1999
Part: Radiator

Removing the cooling fan and the radiator is very straightforward; it is recommended to perform this operation with a cold engine, as the first step is to drain the coolant; once done, disconnect the inlet and outlet hoses, the temperature sensor connections, and the power supply to the fan motor; proceed to remove the fixing screws of the plastic frame that supports the fan and take it out from behind the radiator, and finally, slide out the radiator itself along with the expansion tank.

How to Remove the Interior Light of a Mini

Remove the interior light of a Mini: use a screwdriver or plastic lever to pry between the cover and the light itself (avoid damaging the headlining), pull the cover out from the panel and disconnect the power connector after removing it. Replace the damaged bulb with a new one (same size and voltage). Refit the light into its housing (push it in with your hands until the metal clips are fully locked). Test the light's functionality before completely refitting the piece.
