Radiator Swap - How Difficult????

[forzaMC]

My Radiator has gone on my 320i G reg 6 pot manual, is it a difficult job to swap??

Cheers

Hi mate, it's a simple job, three hoses to remove, loosen the lower hose first, leave what coolant there is to escape come out, undo the 2 small nuts on the plastic holder on top of the rad, and lift out, refitting is the reversal of removal (Haynes anyone!?) refill with coolant/water to the correct mixture, and bleed the system too.

When you've finished and restart the car, make sure the heater is set to full heat, check that it begins to blow warm air as soon as you would expect it to, and watch the temp gauge.
These cars can airlock at the back of the head after the coolant has been drained, although not normally after just draiming the rad.
