Newb with radiator woes.
« on: January 28, 2010, 08:44:51 PM »
I was thinking of tackling a do it myself radiator swap.  I have never swapped a radiator.  I searched this particular forum with no avail.  How hard is this to do?  Does anyone have any tips or advice?  Thanks guys.

Radiators are easy.  Bleeding is the trouble.  It's just three pipes, drain & refill.  Might as well replace the coolant with the BMW stuff too.

I did this on my car and it wasnt that hard. Bleeding takes some time but its not rocket science.
