Hey guys my radiator cracked and i ordered a new stock one to replace it. It looks simple enough, and i was just wondering if you guys had any tips for me. Thanks.

Good luck and it always helps if you had another person to help.

 

If you did the mods in your sig; This should be a breeze! Really it is very easy........take 3 bolts out of the top plastic piece that holds it on and slide it out. That's a VERY hard job to screw up.

 

Do i need to drain the coolant like i had to to do the optispark?

 

You need to drain all the coolant. Disconnect all hoses going into the Radiator. Take off the Radiator shroud. Get a friend to hlep you unclip the radiator from the A/C Condensor. Remove old rad. INstall new rad. Hook up all the hoses. Replace the coolant. And finally, just bleed the system.

Good luck, it is very easy

 

I did it by myself. Its easy. Drain all the coolant from the radiator and the block. I only took out the knock sensor and didnt bother with the driver's side drain. Remove and replace...all there is to it.

 

Sweet, thanks guys. I'll be doing it tomorrow, along with plugs and wires. Appreciate it fellas.
