Radiator for cars with 2.2L petrol engines
Removal
Remove the radiator fan shroud assembly (see the relevant chapter).
Disconnect the lower hose from the radiator and the hose from the expansion tank.
Remove the mounting brackets from the radiator and lift the radiator straight up out of the vehicle, being careful not to damage the radiator fins. Be careful not to lose the rubber radiator mounts.
Examination
Check the radiator for cracks, damage or leaks.
Check the radiator for bent fins. If necessary, use a comb to straighten the platinum.
Check the condition of the radiator inlet and outlet pipes.
Installation
Install the radiator with rubber radiator mounts.
Install the radiator mounting brackets and secure with bolts, tightening them to a torque of 26 N·m.
Connect the lower hose to the radiator.
Install the radiator fan shroud assembly (see the relevant chapter).
