Radiator installation details for petrol models
1 - Crankcase protection; 2 - Fixators; 3 - Washers; 4 - Bolt; 5 - ATF cooling line; 6 - Cooling system radiator; 7 - Cooling tract line (radiator - water pump); 8 - Cooling system fan with viscous clutch; 9 - Cooling tract line (radiator - thermostat casing); 10 - Cooling tract line (expansion tank - radiator); 11 - Fan assembly casing; 12 - ATF cooling line; 13 - Bolts; 14 - Support brackets; 15 - Grounding busbar
1. Remove the crankcase guard (1).
2. Drain the cooling system (see Chapter Routine care and maintenance).
3. Remove the mounting clips (2) and washers (3).
4. Unscrew the bolt (4) securing the ATF cooling line (5) to the radiator (6).
5. Disconnect the cooling line (7) from the radiator (6).
6. Disconnect the ATF cooling line (12) from the radiator (6).
7. Remove the fan assembly with viscous coupling (8) (see Section Removal and installation the cooling system fan assembly), - the impeller connecting nut has a right-hand thread.
8. Disconnect the cooling system lines (9 and 10) from the radiator (6).
9. Remove the fan shroud (11) (see Section Removal and installation the cooling system fan assembly).
10. Disconnect the ATF cooling line (5) from the radiator (6).
11. Unscrew the mounting bolts (13) and remove the support brackets (14).
12. Disconnect the ground bus (15) from the radiator (6).
13. Remove the radiator (6).
14. Installation is carried out in the reverse order - make sure that the guide pins from below rest against the rubber dampers on the front cross member.
15. Finally, check the cooling system for signs of developing leaks.
Diesel models
M612
Radiator installation details for diesel models with M612 engine (1 of 2)
1 - Upper front cross beam; 2 - Cooling tract overflow lines; 3 - Support brackets; 4 - Hose clamps; 5 - Cooling tract hose; 6, 7 - Air ducts; 11 - Radiator
Radiator installation details for diesel models with M612 engine (2 of 2)
2 - Cooling tract overflow lines; 5, 9 - Cooling tract hoses; 10 - Fixators; 11 - Radiator; 12 - Bolts; 13 - Guide pins; 14 - Fasteners; 15 - Rubber dampers; 16 - Capacitor; 17, 18 - ATF cooling lines; A - Crankcase protection
1. Open the hood and fix it in a vertical position.
2. Remove the cylinder head trim panels.
3. Remove the decorative radiator grille (see Chapter Body).
4. Jack up the car and place it on supports.
5. Remove the crankcase guard (A).
6. Drain the cooling system (see Chapter Routine care and maintenance).
7. Remove the upper front cross member (1) and move it to the side together with the hood retaining lock.
8. Disconnect the support brackets (3), loosen the fastening clamps (4) and remove the overflow lines of the cooling tract (2). Assess the condition of the lines and fastening clamps, if necessary, prepare a replacement.
9. Remove the fan assembly with viscous coupling (see Section Removal and installation the cooling system fan assembly).
10. Loosen the fastening clamps and remove the air ducts (6 and 7) - immediately seal the openings in the cooler to prevent coolant from getting into them, assess the condition of the sealing rings, and prepare a replacement if necessary.
Note: The presence of a small amount of oil on the air hoses is due to the normal functioning of the crankcase ventilation system and is acceptable.
11. Disconnect the ATF cooling lines (17 and 18) - be prepared to collect any spilled fluid - and connect them together using a piece of hose with an internal diameter of 12 mm.
12. Disconnect the cooling system hose (9), check the condition of the fastening clamps, prepare a replacement if necessary.
13. Remove the clamps (10) securing the radiator (11).
14. Remove the bolts (12).
15. After lifting the radiator, separate it from the lower front cross member and remove it from the engine compartment.
16. Install the air conditioning radiator/condenser protection screen (a metal or plastic plate measuring 400x680x1 mm equipped with a suitable support bracket).
17. Installation is carried out in the reverse order. Make sure that the guide pins (13) enter the rubber bushings on the lower front cross member, also make sure that the fasteners (14) and rubber dampers (15) are correctly seated on the condenser (16).
18. Finally, check the cooling system for signs of developing leaks.
M628
Radiator installation details for diesel models with M628 engine
1 - Radiator of the cooling system; 2 - Capacitor; 3, 4 - Cooling tract lines; 5, 6 - ATF cooling lines; 7 - Ventilation line; 8 - Fastening clamps; 9 - Guide pins; 10 - Bolts; 11 - Fasteners; 12 - Rubber dampers; A - Crankcase protection
1. Open the hood.
2. Jack up the car and place it on supports.
3. Remove the crankcase guard (A).
4. Drain the radiator (see Chapter Routine care and maintenance).
5. Remove the air cleaner (see Chapter Fuel and exhaust systems).
6. Remove the fan assembly shroud (see Section Removal and installation the cooling system fan assembly).
7. Disconnect the cooling system hoses (3 and 4) - check the condition of the mounting clamps, prepare a replacement if necessary.
8. Disconnect the ATF cooling lines (5 and 6) - be prepared to collect any spilled fluid - and connect them together using a piece of hose with an internal diameter of 12 mm.
9. Remove the clamps (8) securing the radiator (1).
10. Lift the radiator assembly (1) with the condenser (2) and separate it from the front lower cross member.
11. Remove the hex bolts (10) and remove the radiator (1) from the engine compartment.
12. Installation is carried out in the reverse order. Make sure that the guide pins (9) enter the rubber bushings on the lower front cross member, also make sure that the fasteners (11) and rubber dampers (12) are seated correctly.
13. Finally, check the cooling system for signs of developing leaks.
