I have been smelling that sweet smell of antifreeze burning for a little while and while never seeing any on the ground from a bad water pump I knew it was time as the 25 year old cooling system is showing its age. I recently got the foot drip of the old 900s as well but the heater bypass valve is back ordered on www.eeuroparts.com at the moment so I started with the radiator.
Starting disassembly:
- Disconnect battery
- Drain coolant
- Unbolt your turbo to intercooler pipe clamps and remove
- unbolt your ignition coil
- vacuum control valve ( next to coil brown valve, thing that clicks when it goes bad)
- Remove the torque screws holding in the fans ( T20 screws 2 upper, 1 lower) and unplug and lift out
- remove
- take of overflow return hose, Driver side
- un plug fan temp sensor , Driver side
- upper radiator hose, Passenger side
- lower radiator hose, Driver side
- unbolt 2 radiator bolts
- tip back ( toward engine ) and lift out, radiator has two posts on bottom that go into rubber bushings
- drop in the new radiator
- reverse directions to reinstall
- fill coolant and reconnect battery
- run through warm up and make sure your fans still turn on
