  Q: How to install the radiator on Scion xD?

  A:

  Start by installing the radiator drain cock to the radiator assembly then proceed with radiator reserve tank hose grommets and radiator support cushions. The installation process requires placing the 2 radiator support cushions followed by the 2 radiator reserve tank hose grommets onto the radiator assembly. The setup starts with engaging two claws to attach the fan shroud followed by installing the water filler sub-assembly through a clip to secure two bolts at 7.5 Nm (76 kgf-cm, 66 in-lbf). Lastly, connect the radiator reservoir tank hose. Mount the radiator assembly on to the vehicle by engaging the 2 claws while avoiding unnecessary pressure on cooler condenser assemblies or piping before attaching the cooling fan motor connector and installing its wire harness clamp. Put the radiator support sub-assembly upper into place with 5 bolts that need torquing to 5.5 Nm (56 kgf-cm, 49 in-lbf) before connecting the horn assembly connector. Begin by applying 2 clips to the No.1 cooler cover and proceed by attaching the hood lock assembly through 3 bolts with torque setting 7.5 Nm (76 kgf-cm, 66 in-lbf). Finally install the hood lock control cable assembly with 2 clamps. The technician should connect the No. 2 radiator hose with its clip together with the outlet No. 1 oil cooler hose and the inlet No. 2 oil cooler hose. Installation of the air cleaner assembly follows the No. 1 radiator hose connection and radiator support upper absorber installation which precedes front bumper cover installation. Engine coolant insertion comes before the adjustment process of the hood lock assembly using the method of 3 bolt loosening and striker entry positioning and a final bolt tightening at a torque level reaching 7.5 Nm (76 kgf-cm, 66 in-lbf). Check for any potential leaks of engine coolant during the last inspection step.

  Q: How to remove the radiator on Scion xD?

  A:

  A safe way to replace the radiator begins with turning off ignition first since this stops electric cooling fan operation. First drain the engine coolant while removing the engine under cover from left to right sides. Disassemble by first removing the front bumper cover while detach the upper absorber of the radiator support. Remove the air cleaner assembly and take out the No. 1 radiator hose through its clip removal. The technician disconnects the inlet No. 2 oil cooler hose and the outlet No. 1 oil cooler hose which service the automatic transaxle. Users should disconnect the No. 2 radiator hose after loosening its associated clip. Perform the hood lock assembly disassembly by releasing the hood lock control cable assembly from clamps then remove the three bolts. The upper radiator support sub-assembly requires removal of five bolts after disconnecting the horn connector and taking off two clips from the No. 1 cooler cover. The vehicle receives the radiator assembly when you disconnect the cooling fan motor connector, separate the wire harness clamp and release the two claws while paying attention to avoid putting excessive force near the cooler condenser assembly or piping. Operate by detaching the radiator reservoir tank hose from the water filler sub-assembly followed by unbolting these two fasteners and unclipping it before complete removal of the water filler sub-assembly. Begin by removing the fan shroud through disengaging its two claws before you detach the two cushions from the radiator support. The last step requires removal of the radiator drain cock together with unfastening the two radiator reserve tank hose grommets.
