just replaced the radiator in my nb

[jazzcat]

and it went alot smoother than i thought it would...I heard nothing but horror stories about removing the front end but I had the whole job done within 4 hours of steady working...


if anyone has any questions on how to do it please let me know and I would be more than happy to help out with it..better to not have to pay the dealership 700+ if you can do it yourself



car runs great too! so happy!

I got quotes from $450 to $950 to replace radiator (4-6 hours labor). Can you give me a brief description of how it's done...does it really need the bumper to come off?

I'm bummed....Thanks.

Yes, it REALLY NEEDS the bumper to come off. That's 10 torx screws per side for the fender liners, and another 20 or so for the fenders and front bumper.

Does that REALLY sound like alot?

Can you post some pictures? I am a advocate for do-it-yourself pics. It takes alot of the guess work out.
