• Q: How to remove the radiator on 2010 Scion xD?

  A: A safe method to remove the radiator consists of turning off the ignition first so electric cooling fans stay deactivated. Start the radiator replacement process by removing left and right engine under covers and conducted engine coolant drain procedures. The first step should be to remove the front bumper cover before moving on to the radiator support upper absorber. Start by removing the air cleaner assembly followed by disconnecting the No. 1 radiator hose after loosening its clip. Remove both connections that link the inlet No. 2 oil cooler hose and the outlet No. 1 oil cooler hose. To disconnect the No. 2 radiator hose you should first loosen the clip. Disassembling the hood lock assembly requires removal of the hood lock control cable assembly from its clamps followed by bolt removal of three fasteners. Detach the No. 1 cooler cover by unfastening its two clips. The first step requires disconnecting the horn connector while taking off the upper radiator support sub-assembly by removing its five bolts. Perform the radiator assembly removal by disconnecting the cooling fan motor connector then separating the wire harness clamp and carefully unclipping the two claws while avoiding excessive strain on the cooler condenser assembly or piping. Users need to remove the two bolts from the water filler sub-assembly while disconnecting its radiator reservoir tank hose so they can separate the sub-assembly. The fanshroud must be removed after disengaging its two claws followed by removing the radiator assembly support cushions. The last step entails removing the radiator reserve tank hose grommets followed by extraction of the radiator drain cock from the assembly.
