Pretty straightforward look in RAVE for details. Good time to do an oil and filter change at the same time. This assumes you are talking about an auto.

My only tip is your changing one or the other then be prepared to change what you didn't plan too as the unions on the coolers will seize and the threads will strip.

Threads on mine impossible to remove as seized solid to the cooler. If this happens to you be prepared for a new cooler as well as the pipes. Was lucky when removing the timing cover that the cooler could be seperated from the radiator (which came out).

Think the OP needs to say if it is a petrol, diesel auto or diesel manual. Three different set ups.

Just nuts and bolts. I take it this is an auto with separate cooler. Pipes onto cooler will more than likely be seized solid due to electrolysis. If you have a new cooler and pipes just cutting the old pipes off to remove maybe easiest way. Take some photos of pipe runs first if you are unsure. Spills and glowplugs are not exactly difficult, so you may have a treat coming.

Don't use em. Not yet anyway. Just for future reference what sort do you use?
