Video tutorial

The radiator is one of the most wear-prone parts of the car, being a very fragile component. This guide shows how to proceed with its replacement.

A new radiator can be purchased at any auto parts store. First, completely drain the car's cooling system.

Locate the radiator outlet hose and detach it from the fitting to allow all the fluid to escape from the system. After this, remove all the rubber hoses connected to the radiator.

Once the radiator is removed, you can proceed to take out the thermostat if you haven't done so already.
