Radiator removal

[MisterTee]

I’ve got a very small weep from one of the cores in the radiator and so looking to get it sorted before the Spring.

Will I need to remove the bonnet to get the radiator out, or is this achievable without the need for the bonnet coming off?

I’ve got access to a two post lift if it can be accessed and removed from beneath. I’m just trying to work out how big a job this is.

Cheers

Thanks everyone.

That’s a relief. I had this horrible thought that I would have to take the bonnet off.

I’ve had it up on the lift before with the two front wheels off and the bonnet tilted vertical when I was changing the water pump last year, so will give that a go.

Thanks, mine is an S3, so hopefully a fairly easy job, by the sounds of it.
