Rad leaking.. How to remove?
« 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
