Hey guys, I'm just about to start removing my rad in an attempt to unblock it with some Fernox cleaner.
So having a quick look all I can see is the viscous fan, the two main hoses, a temp switch and a banjo fitting that needs to come off along with unbolting the thing and taking off those two big clips at the top.
Have I missed anything?
-
if an auto, the gearbox pipes.
For some reason I had to disconnect the aircon on mine, can't exactly remember why (I had to remove condensor anyway)
-
The gearbox pipe, would that be the one with the banjo bolt fitting down on the left-hand side as you look in?
I could do with not having to disturb the air-con system as well as that's another £40 needing spent on regassing the bloody thing.

thats the gearbox bolts. You will have to recheck atf level afterwards.
As said, can't remember if I had to disconnect a/c purely to get rad out

Righto, cheers dude. :)

Don't think condensor rad has to be disconnected to remove coolant rad. Biggest hassle will probably be the viscous coupling fan.
Don't forget...it's a l/h thread. :y
(and don't start TB off on 2.5td viscous fans ::))

Lol, I've had a couple of cars over the years with viscous fans hence I have a knack for getting them off quite quickly. :)

Radiator is now out of the car ready for it's flush etc.
When using this Fernox stuff, is it a 50/50 mix then let it sit overnight?
