How to replace the radiator on the Subaru Forester?

Model: Subaru Forester SG, MK 2 - Years 2002-2008
Part: Radiator

To replace the radiator on the Subaru Forester, open the bonnet to access the components in the engine bay: at the front, you will locate the radiator, which can be removed from its housing by disconnecting all hoses for the coolant flow. Next, loosen all the bolts securing the radiator to its supports, both at the top and bottom. Once the radiator is completely free, you can remove it from its housing and replace it with a new one.
