Model: Vauxhall Vectra Vectra C, MK 3 - Years 2002-2008
Part: Radiator

Today's instructions will show us the main steps on how to disassemble and replace the engine cooling radiator of the Opel Vectra. First, we open the car's hood and start disassembling and removing the front bumper; to do this, we unscrew all the fastening screws we find above and below it, as well as on both sides of the front wheel arches. At this point, we disconnect the coolant hose, then unscrew the radiator screws to remove it; we replace it and reassemble everything, pouring the new antifreeze liquid into the reservoir!
