Today, let's see how to dismantle and replace the radiator and air conditioning pipes on the Fiat Panda. First, open the bonnet and begin to remove the front bumper by unscrewing all the fixing screws; once removed, disconnect the radiator pipes by unscrewing the fixing screws to remove it from the frame, draining the fluid into a container, as shown in the video.

At this point, install the new radiator, fitting the bleed valve; ensure the pipes are correctly connected and then top up the fluid!
