Title: Rad leaking.. How to remove?
Post by: ruffrydaz on March 03, 2011, 07:12:36 pm

Just found out it was my rad leaking on both bottom corners which was causing a puddle on the floor and coolant loss on my 2.0 tdi
im still not sure how to remove..Once the front bumper is off do i have to remove slam carrier? the ac condensor? or do i not need to take that off?
regards
ps. sorry if its a stupid question

Yeah once the bumper, carrier etc is off can you unbolt and slip the rad out or does the ac and intercooler have to come out first
thanks

Looking at this pic it looks as if the lot will have to come off
