Watched several radiator replacement videos and this is the best and easiest to follow so far! This gives me more confidence to do this. Biggest concern is jack stand placement as I’m always worried about getting under a jacked up car
Some great camera angles there such as from the back of engine looking forward. Makes the process easier to understand. Thanks - ready to do the radiator on my daily drive NA now.
obviously i’m late to the party but this is a very thorough and well put together explanation, thank you a lot, i just got an aftermarket radiator and am planning on getting it in this weekend, your video is a lifesaver
I wish I saw this video first. I watch another one and winged it when I try to take clips that attached the AC to the radiator. If i did it your way I wouldnt be in a pickle. Now I gotta try to reclip the AC line to the radiator. you showed an amazing view that made more sense to me. Thank you. I was losing hope and thought I had to remove my ac to get my Mushimotor radiator to fit
Perfect explanation. My '96 has that 'chocolate milk' look to the radiator. I am probably on borrowed time. The next nice, warm day will call for a radiator replacement.
Nice video! When I’m doing a radiator swap I always like to run distilled water through the system and just give it a nice flush before putting new coolant in
Thanks for the great video, I just started replacing mine and you made my life easier. I haven’t finished it yet because I need to buy new bolts, but I just wanted to say thanks and 👍
Awesome tutorial. My NB1 has the same brown/green color, so it looks like I may need to do this sooner than later. I’ve only done basic maintenance on my car at this point, but I guess there’s there’s a time when you have to just jump into the more difficult jobs. Wish me luck that I don’t get in over my head.
Couple tips I learned the hard way that weren't mentioned, if doing a full coolant flush be sure to run the heater to get the coolant/air flushed out of the core. Also make sure the rubber gasket on the funnel kit doesn't get stuck in the radiator fill neck otherwise you won't be able to (easily) get the rad cap back on.
The heater core will flush regardless of turning the heat on actually. It’s all propelled by the water pump, so fluid is flushing through the system no matter what! Did not know about the filler neck rubber gasket. I’ll keep an eye on that in the future so it doesn’t bite me. Thanks for the head up!
@@NappMotorsports yea admittedly the stock one is pretty thin and there's a circular punch out that can get old and fall out xD Saw a nice aluminum one by Dave Fab UK but finding the drawing that had the oem one was nagging at me
Thank you for the video. I notice the two fittings coming out of the bottom. My replacement has those as well, but the stock one does not are they blocked off not sure if I should install it or not?
In due time Nyal. Build season is just around the corner. These videos not only provide general info but help us improve our process so production will be even better this build season.
