Default Radiator location

Just putting my car back together and the rad is sitting here with bit close to the actuator?



Also how do I get the hoses on?



Cheers

Move the fans to the front of both, this will let you mount the rad an intecooler closer together to give you more clearance. This is what I had to do to stop my actuator arm smashing my rad into a crumpled mess.

Yes because the fans pull the cold air in through the intercooler and rad fins

My airtec cooler and rad are fitted with the fans at the front and many others are
