Radiator

Draining the charge air cooler cooling system needs to be completed before beginning the radiator replacement process. Lease a vehicle in a raised position supported by stands. The Hose Clamp Pliers (GE-47622) helps position and remove both the outlet hose and inlet hose from the charge air cooler radiator. Use Hose Clamp Pliers (GE-47622) to reposition the charge air cooler coolant inlet hose before you remove it. Extract the charge air cooler radiator from the vehicle by first removing its retaining nuts. Secure the charge air cooler radiator to the vehicle using retaining nuts tightened to 8 N.m (71 lb in). Attach the charge air cooler coolant inlet hose to the radiator before you use the Hose Clamp Pliers (GE-47622) to reposition the inlet clamp. Then connect the outlet hose while using the Hose Clamp Pliers (GE-47622) to reposition the outlet clamp. Before ending the procedure lower the automobile and complete the charge air cooler liquid filling process.

The first step for radiator replacement involves draining the charge air cooler cooling system. Rise the vehicle and use appropriate support tools. Apply GE-47622 Hose Clamp Pliers to move the charge air cooler coolant outlet hose before removing it from the charge air cooler radiator. The next step involves installing the GE-47622 pliers to reposition the charge air cooler coolant inlet hose before removing it. Remove the charge air cooler radiator retaining nuts from the vehicle before you disconnect the radiator itself. Install the new charge air cooler radiator into your vehicle and fasten the retaining nuts to 8 Nm (71 lb in). Follow up with a GE-47622 and reposition the inlet hose clamp before reattaching the charge air cooler coolant inlet hose. Next install the charge air cooler coolant outlet hose followed by clamping and positioning the outlet tube using GE-47622. Soak up the vehicle and complete the fill operation for the charge air cooler cooling system.

Reattach the charge air cooler coolant inlet hose and use the GE-47622 to reposition the inlet hose clamp.

Disengage tension on the radiator inlet hose clamp at the radiator using Hose Clamp Pliers (J 38185) and disconnect the radiator inlet hose from both the radiator and the engine.

Disengage tension on the radiator outlet hose clamp at the radiator with Hose Clamp Pliers (J 38185) and disconnect the radiator outlet hose.

Install the condenser, fill the cooling system, evacuate and recharge the A/C system, and perform a leak test on the fittings using Halogen Leak Detector (J 39400-A), followed by inspecting the transmission fluid level.

Lower the vehicle and connect the upper transmission oil cooler line and the surge tank inlet hose, engaging tension on the surge tank inlet hose clamp.
