How to replace the radiator of the Hyundai Sonata YF

Model: Hyundai Sonata YF, MK 6 - Years 2010-2015
Part: Shift knob

In this video, we can see how to replace the radiator of the Hyundai Sonata YF, specifically the one produced from 2010 to 2015. First, we need to remove the radiator fan, otherwise it will be impossible to access the component. So first, we need to disconnect the car's battery to prevent the fan from turning on and hurting our fingers. Remember to always disconnect the negative pole first. We then remove the air duct; we will then remove the radiator hose to which its electrical wires are connected: we remove the plug and set everything aside. The same must be done on the other side. We remove the entire apparatus and now we have access to the radiator. Now we need to drain the cooling system, so we will remove the clamp holding the hose and then disconnect the connection at the bottom, where we will place a container to collect the fluid circulating in the system. We loosen the caps of the transmission lines connecting the radiator to the system and then unscrew the screws connecting it to the body, on the front of the hood. If we are sure there is no pressure in the system, then we can remove the radiator, being very careful to remove the sealing clips that are still along the component.
