I just did this the other day and this was very helpful. I would only add that any DIYer attempting this should be aware that those upper and lower quick connect hose fittings have an O-ring that should come with the new radiator that should be replaced. There is a round plastic O-ring retainer that you will need to pick out in order to pull out the old O-ring. Lightly oil the O-ring, seat it and a large socket is helpful in snapping the plastic retainer back into place.
This is the EXACT spot mine started leaking in today! Wow I had no idea you had to remove the entire bumper to do this. Bummer. Gonna have to tackle this job next week
Thank you for the support I did do a cut and buff on the truck may I post a video on it's not too sure also I have had about another 4 CRV but all of them ran and drove so there was not much content
Thank you for sharing this video! So just a question, if we just need to change the fan assembly, and my radiator has no leak, is there a way to just slide the fan assembly down out without taking off the entire front bumper?
Is this the same exact extraction process for a 2013 VW Passat 2.5? Same 2.5 engine, but does this sit in the engine bay exactly the same way?? Thank you please answer 🤞
