  Q: How to remove and replace the radiator on Scion xB?

  A: The refrigeration system requires a complete evacuation of gas before radiator service begins. Begin by taking off the front bumper cover followed by the radiator grille apparatus and then the No. 1 radiator grille garnish. Begin by draining engine coolant before proceeding to break the battery connection through terminal separation and removing the carriage bolt and loose nut to detach the holder and finally remove the insulator battery and tray. The separation process for the No. 1 water hose clamp bracket begins with disconnecting two water hoses followed by removing two bolts. Remove the hood lock control cable assembly by first disassembling it from the hood lock hardware but disregarding its retaining clamp. To remove the hood lock support sub-assembly disconnect the two hone connectors followed by removing the two bolts. Detach the inlet radiator hose after unclamping the heated oxygen sensor wire harness and proceed by disconnecting the outlet radiator hose. Begin fan shroud No. 2 removal by first removing the radiator support cushions before disconnecting each of the two fan motor connectors and using the two bolts to remove the fan shroud. The condenser becomes removable after separating the discharge hose sub-assembly from the air conditioning tube and accessory assembly. Vehicle owners should start by removing the No. 1 water by-pass hose from the radiator before disconnecting the two oil cooler hoses from automatic transaxle vehicles when installing their radiator assembly that will be used in the vehicle. To complete the operation separate the inlet radiator hose tube clamp from the fan shroud then take away the outlet radiator hose from the radiator while using the two bolts to eliminate the fan shroud.

  Q: How to remove and install a radiator on Scion xA?

  A: A radiator replacement process starts with disconnecting the negative battery terminal cable and allowing at least 90 seconds of wait time to activate Air Bag and seat belt pretensioners. Engine coolant drainage is necessary before disconnecting three hoses which include the radiator's inlet and outlet and automatic transaxle oil cooler inlet and outlet. The radiator grille and hood lock assembly require removal of 3 bolts to begin. Additionally the hood lock support sub-assembly needs detachment through removal of 2 bolts and a clip with a hood lock support. The radiator support sub-assembly upper requires removal when you disconnect two connectors from the horns, detach the condenser using two bolts and take out four bolts to remove the radiator support upper. The radiator assembly removal process requires disconnecting the cooling fan motor connector and unbolting 3 pieces for the fan shroud with fan and then unbolting 2 water filler positions and lastly removing the 2 radiator support cushions and the radiator support lower. The first step needs to be installing the radiator assembly alongside the 2 radiator support cushions and radiator support lower after which you should install the water filler with 2 bolts tightened to 7.5 Nm followed by installing the fan shroud with fan through 3 bolts of 7.5 Nm tightening torque. After installing the radiator support sub-assembly upper with 4 bolts reaching 5.0 Nm torque then you should attach the condenser through 2 bolts while connecting the 2 connectors to the horns. Begin with installing the radiator support opening cover and continuously attach the hood lock support sub-assembly with two bolts and one clip before installing the hood lock assembly temporarily using three bolts. After adjusting the hood lock assembly you should install the radiator grille. Install first the automatic transaxle oil cooler hoses between outlet and inlet and then position the radiator hose tubing between outlet and inlet. A procedure includes reconnecting the cable to the negative terminal followed by inserting engine coolant while checking for leaks and performing required initializations following negative terminal cable changes.

  Q: How to install the radiator and its components on Scion tC?

  A: Begin radiator installation by attaching the fan shroud assembly through tightening the 2 pawl fittings and then install the fan assembly by using 2 bolts secured at 5.0 Nm (51 kgf-cm, 44 in-lbf). Start by installing the lower support for the radiator followed by the assembly installation that requires two uppers and two bolts to be tightened at 19 Nm (194 kgf-cm, 14 ft-lbf). Complete installation requires hooking up the radiator reservoir hose and connecting two clamps on the engine room main wire and attaching two connectors to the cooling fan motor. The technical procedure requires connections between the No. 1 oil cooler outlet tube and inlet tube along with the radiator hose outlet and inlet. Affix the engine coolant before you attach the negative battery terminal cable. After reconnecting the cable from the negative (-) battery terminal you should check for engine coolant leakage and initialize the systems which require this step. Installation of the engine under the right-hand (RH) engine cover completes the procedure.
