To replace the radiator on a Volkswagen Golf Mk4, open the bonnet to access the components that secure the front bumper from the top: once you locate the rivets, detach them and loosen the additional screws that hold the bumper in place. After completely removing the bumper, you will find the radiator at the back, which can be freed from its screws and connected pipes; once the old radiator is removed, insert the new one, ensuring everything functions correctly.
