Instructions for Removing Radiator

Model: Mercedes Clk A208, W208, C208 - Years 1997-2003
Part: Radiator

If you need to remove the radiator, ensure the engine has cooled down as you will first need to drain the coolant. Start by removing the splash guard located under the engine bay to access the coolant drain screw situated directly beneath the radiator. Once the cooling system has been fully drained, proceed to remove the fan by disconnecting the power connector and unfastening the metal clips. Next, detach the hoses and pipes connected to the radiator, remove the slam panel, and finish removing the radiator by unscrewing the relevant fixing bolts.
