Easiest way is to remove the rad competely. Take off the front driverside wheel and remove the wheel arch liner. The hose runs from the back of the block to the bottom of the rad. Remove the screenwash bottle. Under the bonnet remove the expansion tank, its bracket and the other hoses. Remove the air intake too, just the top half will do. Now you should be able to pull the rad out with the bottom hose attached but be carefull, two people make this much easier. Now you can see the awkward twist type connection. Take it apart carefully as there is an O ring inside which you should really replace. When you refit the o ring use vaseline or baby oil and make sure you line up the slit in the bottom hose with its corresponding guide in the rad. Now block off all outlets and fill the rad with water. The first time I did it the O ring didn't seal properly.
When refitting again use two people to guide the bottom hose through the hole in the wing as its easy to damage it!
Plug at the bottom of the rad you twist out.
In order to remove the whole assembly, you have to remove the front bumper cover which will expose a bolt on the bottom of the assembly which has to be removed...along with the bolt on top of the radiator support beam on each headlight!
I assume this readiator is in a non-turbo car. The fan units are attached to the radiator itself. Once you remove the whole radiator fans and all it will be much easier to work on. The radiator is held in place by two clamps at either top side of the unit. Remove feed and return hoses, and unplug two temp sensors at bottom of radiator. Remove trans cooler lines (if auto trans). The fan units are secured to the radiator by four screws.
To remove the bottom timing cover from a 2008 Turbo Diesel Navara, D40, simply call NAPA, and they'll have everything done for you.
There is a white tank up by the passenger's side fender. This is the reservoir for the radiator. Do not remove the cap while the coolant is hot. The radiator itself does not have a cap on it.
Drain plug is on the PAssanger side opf the radiator, but you will need to remove the under engine paneling in order to access it.
Remove the oil line from the Turbo. Remove the temperature sensor from the Turbo. Remove the Turbo retaining nuts. Replace the old Turbo gasket with a new gasket. Reverse the process to install the new Turbo.
you will fit right behind the ar conditioner radiator in front of the engine you got to relocate the ac unit or remove it
Very difficultly. It's horrible. Have to drop the fans from the bottom which is near impossible to not break them trying to it's so tight.
there are 4 on the front of your engine, if it is the turbo model the 1 behind the pump is a pain to do, you will need a 12mm deep socket and a 8mm spaner
The radiator
