To change a radiator you need to take your 2 fenders and bumper cover together. Unscrew the bolts under neath and on top of the fenders and bumper cover. Drain the antifreeze. Then you will see small green screws which hold the radiator. There is a little space between the engine and radiator fan. You might have to take off the radiator support. This doesn't take 4 hours to change the radiator. Also you need special tools for a VW. I did this before i know!Can someone help me find directions to change a radiator on a 1998 new beetle?
