A bit of advice please, so after hunting a coolant leak I eventually have tracked it down to the bottom corners of the radiator so its got to go.
I 've changed radiators before in other cars but not one with the built in oil cooler.
My question is. when I disconnect the two pipes on the oil cooler, obviously I will get coolant out the cooler itself. But how do i refill it once the new one is in.
Do I have to bleed the system if so how, or do i just top up the oil as it self fills, or ?
I would put hose clamps on the oils , but they seam very solid and don't want to squash them. but this does not sort out the air trapped in the cooler.
any advice would be great.
Also recommendations on a 200tdi radiator, before I take the plunge on my current preferred choice.
