Zafira Radiator

[lrobertz]

Hi, might be a long shot but i was wondering if anyone could help me with my dilema. Tommorow i have to change my aunties radiator on her 52 plate zafira. How hard is this job to do? Ive changed radiators previously on other cars, but i have heard you need to remove the front bumper?? Not quite sure if this is true though.

Thanx in advanced for the help.

Yes, it's a bumper off job.

im not totally sure but i belive that you can actually do it without taking the front bumper off, i done an air con condencer on one and i did that without removin the bumper.

Cheers for all the replies. Just out of curiosty, how come you have to take the bumper off? does it enchance room to take the rad out?
Ill let you know how i get on with it tommorow.

You should be able to do it without fully removing the bumper but it will just be easier if you do. The bumper is easy to remove anyway so I would say take it off, the rad will be just as east to remove, a few bolts at the top, the bottom just sits in place, disconnect the fan etc. It it has air con it will make it a little harder but still a simple job.
