To carry out this operation, open the bonnet of your car, ensuring that the engine is cold. The radiator cap should never be opened when the engine is hot. Once the cap is unscrewed, identify the hoses that carry the coolant to the engine and drain all the fluid from the system.

Also, disconnect the connectors for the fans and the temperature sensor. This will allow you to detach the radiator by unscrewing the bolts that hold it to the chassis for removal.

Using the same procedure in reverse, you can reassemble everything.
