Replacing a Leaking Radiator on a B9 Audi : 2017 Audi A4

[@wishizu]

Really great video, this is the guy I want to work on my car!

[@SkillCollectors]

Thanks! Haha, think I remember doing some things to that car! 😊

[@TheJsolano77]

Dude ! this video helped me so much. Thank you!

[@tkennedy1020]

At the bottom corners of the radiator where those rubber pushings are, there are 2 little torx screws under the rubber things. If you loosen those the radiator will pull straight out

[@cramthepance]

Awesome stuff!

[@SkillCollectors]

Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for always commenting.

Can you replace the fan without taking the radiator out ?

[@rameekguy7222]

I’m currently working on my own a4 for both the fan and radiator, and so you gotta take out the radiator for sure since the fan is hooked up to it

[@Newmoneymarc]

@@rameekguy7222 got it installed but looks my relay is bad. And I can’t find the relay location in a b9

[@austinabeyta7122]

I cannot get the lower radiator hose to connect back to radiator, any tips or advice ? !!!!

[@NewYork2400.]

The first video on I’ve seen on my car, been working on it for the longest! Tips for replacing the whole front end?

[@SkillCollectors]

As far as removing it all? Patience! Lol, there was always another part that seemed to have to be taken off. But honestly now that I've done it once, I think it would go pretty fast the next time, it's almost like legos. A lot of composite materials though so just have to be patient and careful not to break anything. If you have adaptive cruise control (radar behind the bumper cover) and/or a front camera, those also have to be re-calibrated when they're re-installed with an ADAS calibration tool. Luckily this one didn't have that saving us some time on the reassembly.

I've got a leak in my AC condenser. We spotted it spraying refrigerant right out of a pinhole in the middle of the condenser. Is it possible to replace just the condenser from the top or will I still have to remove all the front stuff like you did?

[@meikelinde1623]

hi i have a question about the intercooler. Why is one quarter of it blocked from airflow with that black shroud, is it like that from factory?

[@SkillCollectors]

It's like that from the factory and I was wondering the same thing.

[@SkillCollectors]

Thanks for watching! 😊

[@huyta4899]

how much did it cost?

[@jessienath1973]

At time 4:15 you have a sensor or something dangling away...where does it go?? I did the same thing water pump removal. I assume it is the lower hose quick connect area? Right side.

[@SkillCollectors]

Hey, that's an ambient temperature sensor. it tucks up inside the front grill of the bumper cover.

[@jessienath1973]

Awesome thank you! I figured it out when reassembling , I just followed the the marking from the clips.@@SkillCollectors . I did my Water Pump N thermo stat an I can say is Working on Audi's an making it run awesome is something to be proud of!

[@dannyb5863]

Literally just doing my water pup on my a4 b9. I gotta say. I did water pump/thermostat, radiotor, expansion tank on my old bmw e90 335i and doesn’t even compare…….this is like 60 percent easier

[@SkillCollectors]

I bet, these German cars require a lot of disassembly. I’m spoiled and used to Japanese cars where I can change a radiator in 30 minutes.

[@mlmontes99]

Help! Replace the radiator. Now water won’t flow to the radiator.. any advise?

[@monyprak8011]

thermostat and water pump replacement

[@peterprime16]

where did you buy the new radiator?

[@SkillCollectors]

Hi, a distributor through our shop called Worldpac.

[@roycewall3663]

[@se7ensnakes]

I would never buy this car

[@hswing11]

I don't know much about these car THEN WHY ARE WORKING ON IT ?????????????????????

[@SkillCollectors]

Because I'm an auto technician and I've removed and installed probably a couple hundred radiators or maybe even more at this point in my life. Just never done one on a newer Audi like this before, first time for everything, my friend 😁 The Audi's been running great!
