Does anybody know if you can change the radiator without removing the turbo?
As i've only just fitted the turbo and didnt want to take it off again but my rad has sprung a leak

 

yes, bumper off intercooler off then the rad comes off from the front.

 

As above. Simple

 

spot on!

 

long as u can get them fookin 10mm bolts out the rad tht connects it to the intercooler,lol

 

i didnt enjoy tkin mine out..some of them bolts are kunts

 

as above take the bumper of is the easiest

 

Arse!!

My bumper is a twat to get off (being quality fibre glass!!) and i'm running a FMIC so will have to remove that also.

Cheers!

 

it is possible to take it out with the turbo in position, but much like when u remove the turbo and u have to take care not to contact the rad in that case, this becomes the opposite lol

its an arse of a job basically, but possible if your careful

 

oh, also will depend how snug your fmic is to the rad, as that will limit the angle of attack somewhat

 

Hmm think i'll just have to remove the bumper... probably the best bet!

 

one trick is if u remove the rad with the turbo still fitted stick a peice of cardboard to the rad so if u do knock it against the turbo it wont cause any damage

 

ye take bumper off only took me an hour to take it off and put it all bk together first one ive done aswell

 

spot on mate had to do that when fitted A&S RAD &COOLER

 

Can you do me a MASSIVE favour please?!?

Measure the radiator?, I need dimensions for a ERST rad, and can't find them anywhere.

Thanks if you can

 

Yes mate no problem!
As soon as it arrives i'l meassure it up for ya and send you a PM!

 

No need now mate, sorted as per other post, Thanks though!

 

ok cool!
