Instructions. Even with correct installation, minor dents may appear on the fins of radiators and condensers. However, this does not mean that the parts are damaged. Radiators and condensers with such minor damage cannot be replaced.
Removal
Drain the coolant. Remove the front bumper trim.
Remove coolant hose "1" from the radiator by lifting the clamp. Unscrew bolts "1" and "4" for the radiator at the bottom of the fan frame.
Disconnect the connector on the horn. Unscrew 2 bolts "3" on the left and right and remove the reinforcement bus. Pry off the lock washers "2". Unscrew the bolts "1" on the left and right and remove the bumper safety bar.
Disconnect connector "1" on high pressure sensor "G65". Cut cable tie "2".
Remove the outside temperature sensor "G7" "arrow" from the bracket.
Press the wiring harness to the high pressure sensor "G65" and the outside temperature sensor "G17" on the air duct on the left, for which use the release lever "80.200".
Unscrew air ducts "1, 2, 3" from the rear panel.
Do not twist, bend or deform the refrigerant lines and hoses. Remove the "arrow" bolts.
Turn the condenser on the right side of the car "Arrow" slightly forward. Carefully pull the condenser on the connection side (left) forward as far as possible. Place the tray for the service cranes "VAS 6208" under the radiator. Take the radiator connections out of the fan frame one by one, turning the radiator up or down. Remove the radiator.
Installation
Tightening torques: Radiator on fan ramp: 6 Nm. Condenser on fan ramp: 6 Nm. Air ducts on fan ramp: 1.5 Nm.
Installation is in the reverse order, while it is necessary to secure all hose connections with clamps of the appropriate series.
Connect the coolant hose with the connector to the radiator as follows: remove the old sealing ring "2" from the coolant hose "3". Moisten the new sealing ring with concentrate and put it on the coolant hose. Press the coolant hose until it is barely audible in the radiator. Press the coolant hose again and pull the hose to make sure the coupling is correctly fixed. Install the safety bar and reinforcing bar. Install the front bumper cover. After replacing the radiator, the coolant should be replaced. Fill with coolant.
