GTI Radiator Replacement MK5

[@derekm324]

Very thorough video…thanks

[@middle-agedmtbhack8298]

This job can be done without removing the front of the car at least on a right hand drive 2008 Golf GTI. The fans go out the bottom and the radiator comes out the top. The radiator does require a bit of careful manouvering to get it out the top but it is 100% doable.

Dude wow. Thanks man. Mine is shot and is leaking

[@Tommywilko18]

Where. Am I find the ac condenser, radiator and intercooler! I’ve looked everywhere!! Got any links??

The best place to get parts for any European car are FCPEURO ECS Tuning Urotuning

If that’s what you were asking

[@Tommywilko18]

Yeah. I’ve gotta get the radiator, ac and intercooler. Basically all the front end radiators. Been struggling where to find them

[@tfuntoy]

Great info thanks 👍👍👍

[@officerchad8802]

I am really hoping mine is like this because on other videos I watched you have to take everything from the front off because the ac condenser bolts on to the front side of the radiator

my rad was just floating in there so am trying to figer out who to get it in there and supported

[@officerchad8802]

@@melvinhanson948 I got mine all done and wish you luck on figuring yours out

[@steveninverse9579]

AC lines screw into a small bracket thats attarched to the radiator right?

[@ajetauto5592]

I don’t remember but I tried to not mess with them unless is had to in order to move the core support enough.

[@natenearing9841]

You dont need to take the bumper off or take the headlights out

[@jimsmith5184]

Correct! Easy job with front end in situ, takes about a hour total remove, replace & refill!

[@joelgonzalez7926]

Is this the same as the tsi on mk5 gti ?

[@ajetauto5592]

Should be very similar if not identical.

[@princeskloset]

I wonder if you can fix mines

[@ajetauto5592]

Lol how much you paying 😂

[@NolTee2]

Where's the radiator thermostat? Not the thermostat housing. L

[@Ben-nx7yy]

Thermostat is usually inside the thermostat housing lol

[@NolTee2]

@@Ben-nx7yy there's is actually the thermostat housing plus two more thermostats. The inlet and outlet. Replacing the housing alone didn't fix my issue I had too replace the other two as well. This is for dsg cars anyway.
