Removing the Radiator for Maintenance

Model: Porsche 911 996 - Years 1997-2005
Part: Radiator

The rear position of the radiator and its construction do not allow for simple routine maintenance, so it is necessary to remove it in the shop. Position the vehicle on the lift and remove the left rear panel to access the mechanics. Unscrew the screws of the plastic cover that directs air into the radiator and gently remove it to avoid breakage. Unscrew the radiator retaining screws and, being careful of the rigid pipes connected to it, move the radiator until it tilts forward. You can now proceed to clean the inside.
