How to remove the radiator from the Opel Meriva? Lift the front bonnet and start removing the protection plastics (bumper). Remove the bumper plastics along with the front headlights after unscrewing the securing screws.

Unscrew the screws at the bottom of the front. Once free from screws and hoses, you can extract the fan assembly and then the radiator from the engine bay. Fix the new radiator with all the attached pieces.
