In this video tutorial, you will see how to dismantle and replace the engine cooling radiator in a Volkswagen Jetta, as well as in a Golf. First, open the bonnet and disconnect the battery; then lift the vehicle and disconnect the coolant hose by unscrewing the clamp screw, allowing it to drain into a container.

Next, disconnect the electrical connector of the fan and unscrew the radiator mounting screws to remove it from the vehicle; simply replace it with the new one by applying the reverse procedure!
