How do you fix your car if the radiator is froze?
Preferably, have it towed to a garage where it can reach a warm enough temperature to thaw the fluid in the radiator. It's possible the radiator isn't completely frozen, just the hoses connecting it to the engine. Try using a hairdryer on the radiator hoses (don't hold too close to the rubber hose) with the radiator cap off so you can see whether the fluid is becomming liquid. In either case, don't try starting the engine until you're reasonably sure it has thawed and be prepared for a leak to develop (have a large drip pan ready beneath) as the frozen fluid becomes liquid again since the metal tubing inside the raidiator can be damaged by the frozen liquid expanding. Same for hoses.

Where is the radiator to put fluid for 2001 jetta?
The radiator has transmission fluid inside which should you change first the transmission fluid or the radiator fluid on your 97 ford explorer and also what is the torque spec and sequence.?
You need a new radiator if you have trans fluid in the radiator. Getting trans fluid in the radiator isn't such a big deal...just change the radiator.....the worrisome parts is getting coolant in the transmission. The radiator has a transmission cooler built in and it is separated with a wall of aluminum - the coolant and trans sides should never mix. First! You need to drain and remove the radiator and replace it with new fluid. If you got trans fluid in the radiator, it very likely means you got the inverse....coolant in the transmission. You also need to flush and drain the transmission. Also, you need to flush the transmission cooler lines out for any coolant. Coolant in the trans is often the death of a transmission. Make sure you use the right fluid in the trans. That vehicle takes Mercon V fluid - don't put anything else in there or you will have problems potentially.
