I have an 03 sedan and Im replacing the radiator, from looking around it looks as if the coupe and sedan have the same radiator?

Would it be easier to replace the radiator if I took the front bumper off? Or would that just be more waste of a time than a benefit?

on a scale of 1-10 whats the diff rating? 10 being the hardest.

After the install I would have to do this correct?

#1) different radiator than the coupe, especially if you have a 5AT cuz then it has a trans cooler as well

#2)No need to remove bumper. Remove splash shield under the engine though. And the fans/shroud.

#3)You will need to burp the coolant. Do some searching on driver. Its been explained many times. Do it right or you will overheat.

 

I can have instructions for you tomorrow. I have alldata at work.

 

i recently had my whole front end redone due to an accident. ever since i got my car back its been running hot. itll run all the way to the H but never over. i remember them saying they had to send a radiator back because it was the wrong one. that brings up a concern with me now because i think that its the reason why its running hot.

 

thanks been trying to get the radiator out and it sucks

 

thanks been trying to get the era

^ thanks alot, it was a pain but i finally got it done

 

You should take it back to the shop that "FIXED" your car. It shouldn't move or get anywhere near the H line. In fact, you could have damaged the block at this point.


Good work. What was the hiccup? I thought it was pretty straight forward..

 

i couldn't pull the radiator up from the bay, I had to get it out from the bottom.. Same thing I had to install the radiator bottom up...

Another snag was it took me awhile to align everything back up properly.

I had some overheating issues again but it went away and I was told it was cause of air in the line.

 

yeah, the hard part is getting the clip of the radiator seperated from the AC condenser.

These cars are known to be hard to bleed air out. Just be careful to make sure you don't have any issues.
