Model: Kia Picanto 2A, MK 1 - Years 2004-2011

Today's guide will show us the main instructions for disassembling and replacing the radiator of the Kia Picanto. First, we open the engine hood of the vehicle and start disassembling and removing the front bumper by unscrewing all the fastening screws. Then, we unscrew the radiator fan screws and the electrical connector, and disconnect the radiator pipe to drain the coolant into a container. At this point, we unscrew the radiator bracket screws to remove it, replacing it with the new one by applying the reverse procedure!

Installation of Upgraded Intercooler Radiator with Pipes

Lift the vehicle on suitable axle stands, remove the front wheels, and then the front bumper and grille. Proceed to remove the front headlights; drain the coolant, remove the intercooler radiator and the hoses connecting it to the intake system. Position the new intercooler radiator in the grille, temporarily securing it with cable ties, and mark with a marker the part of the metal that needs to be removed to allow the new hoses to pass through. Cut the marked portion of metal and apply a gasket to the edge. Remove the inner cover of the bumper and position it near the radiator to identify any interfering parts to eliminate: again, apply a gasket to the edge of the cut. Create brackets for securing the new radiator and proceed with the installation of the connecting pipes from the radiator to the intake, shaping and connecting them appropriately. Finally, reassemble the bumper, headlights, and grille.
