How to Remove the Radiator from a Skoda Fabia

Model: Skoda Fabia Mark2, 5J - Years 2007-2014
Part: Radiator

Let's see how to remove the radiator from a Skoda Fabia. Open the engine bonnet and remove the front bumper before taking out the radiator. Dismantle the plates that secure the radiator at the top, then lift the car on a column lift and loosen the hose clamp on the water hose. Use pliers to disconnect the various hoses of the cooling system (unscrew the latch that secures the front bonnet if it obstructs removal). Remove the fan assembly (if necessary for radiator removal) and then take out the radiator from the engine compartment. Refit the car's bumper after installing the radiator. Test the operation of the entire vehicle system.
