Removal and Installation

REMOVAL

WARNING:
• Never remove radiator cap when engine is hot. Serious burns may occur from high-pressure engine coolant escaping from radiator.

• Wrap a thick cloth around the radiator cap. Slowly turn it a quarter of a turn to release built-up pressure.

Then turn it all the way.

1. Drain engine coolant from radiator. Refer to CO-11, "Draining".

CAUTION

:
• Perform this step when the engine is cold.

• Never spill engine coolant on drive belt.

2. Remove engine cover. Refer to EM-25, "Exploded View".

3. Remove engine under cover.

4. Remove radiator hose (upper and lower).

5. Remove front bumper. Refer to EXT-12, "Exploded View".

6. Remove radiator core support upper. Refer to DLK-149, "MR16DDT : Exploded View".

7. Disconnect cooling fan harness connector.

8. Remove reservoir tank.

9. Remove cooling fan assembly.

CAUTION:
Be careful not to damage or scratch the radiator core.

10. Remove condenser from radiator and temporarily fasten it on vehicle with a rope.

11. Pull up and remove the radiater assembly (1).

INSTALLATION

Note the following, and install in the reverse order of removal.

NOTE

:

• Insert the radiator hose (1) all the way to the stopper (2) or by 33 mm (1.30 in) (hose without a stopper).

Unit mm (in)
A. Radiator side
B. Engine side

• For the orientation of the hose clamp pawl, refer to the figure.

*Refer to the illustrations for the specific position each hose clamp tab.

G. View

: Vehicle upper
: Vehicle front

• The angle (b) created by the hose clamp pawl and the specified line (A) must be within ±15° as shown in the figure.

• To install hose clamps (1), check that the dimension (A) from the end of the paint mark (2) on the radiator hose to the hose clamp is within the reference value.

Dimension “A” 3 mm

Inspection

INSPECTION AFTER INSTALLATION

• Check for leakage of engine coolant using the radiator cap tester adapter (commercial service tool) and the radiator cap tester (commercial service tool). Refer to CO-11, "Inspection".

• Start and warm up the engine. Check visually that there is no leakage of engine coolant.
