How do you replace the radiator on a Kia Soul? Remove the front bumper to access all the radiator mounting screws (check the model type). Lift the car on a column lift and loosen the clamp on the water hose.

Detach the various hoses from the cooling system using pliers, (unscrew the latch that blocks the bonnet if it hinders removal). Once free from screws and hoses, you can extract the radiator from the engine bay (check if you need to remove the fan kit). Install the new radiator in the engine bay: fit the cooling fans, clamps, pins, and various hoses.

Reattach the front bumper after completing the installation.
