Oh crap I didn't mean to flood the comment section with my crap but.. one key thing, you don't necessarily have to drill out those rivets and re rivet there's two bolts and other side of the radiator at the bottom to want to do and it drops down and out it is good to replace those brackets that are plastic though because plastic
One of the best things about your videos is showing exactly what push/pull/lift/pry magic has to be used to decouple a lot of the weatherproof Molex connectors used in the wiring harness.
Great video! How long did the whole job take from start to finish? Im interested in the CSF Rad. Also bought and installed your bump stops recently. very happy with the lowered spring!
Great vid man. I want to change my stock radiator hose you think you can make a video on how to replace them? I’m going to purchase the one you have on your site
Love the channel keep uploading! Been looking for an abarth with perfect maintenance records for a while now. It's not easy. Can you make a buyer's guide video for these? Possibly mention what to look out for and what years to avoid?
Great video. Very detailed. It's not required to drill the rivets out of the top mounts of the assembly. There's two ten mil bolts on the lower brackets.
2024 and still a great video. I'm a driveway repair kinda guy and as stupid as this sounds I didn't realise the Radiator and Condenser were 2 different things my radiator is fine but my condenser was damaged but from what I've seen it only means AC won't work and engine cooling will be just fine which was my main concern. Great video man really appreciated it.
Do you have a video on what to do if there are air pockets in the system? I've heard fiat gruggle before because of it. Don't know where my leak is yet. So i'm hoping it's not the radiator. Lol
We aren't trying to replace the radiator, just my bottom radiator hose. It has a quick disconnect and for the life of us we cannot get it to seat right. We were trying to do it without taking the whole bumper off. Do you have any tricks for this or are we SOL?
My 2013 abarth just started leaking coolant it drips on the plastic slid plate lip. Thx for the video. Know I can see whats under bumper. Wonder where the leak is coming from ?
So is a simple coolant flush a bumper off job? I'm just trying to do a flush, but not seeing another way to access that drain plug or lower hoses. Any advice?
That is awesome and very systematic and detailed. Love to see automobile technical things. Been looking for Fiat Linea's complete service detailed video.
I had a leak coming from my driver’s side radiator hose are. Was getting ready to tear it all apart but found it came from the main hose clamp on my reservoir tank 🤦🏼♂️
Thank you, this was a very helpful video to replace the radiator on my wife's 500. The lower hose was the hardest, it took me forever to get it loose and off the radiator. Was a pain to put back in but it didn't take that long. And one of the wire harness was attached to the radiator with zip ties, was quite a pain to get that off too... but your video was a godsend, thank you!

Should just take a couple hours to complete

We have plans to do the Mishimoto hoses in a future video.

What will happen if I use a different coolant other than oem? I got some from oreillys, it’s pink and says it’s good for European vehicles.
It should be fine.
Where do I get the black eyelids at
They are vinyl decals - a local vinyl/wrap shop can do them easily

Of course I went to search for this video on TH-cam after watching it through a for rum and TH-cam would not give me this video in my search
Thanks for another Great video! I enjoy them all.

Take the bumper off and save yourself a lot of headache

Hope you get it resolved!

If you are doing a drain/fill of the cooling system, it is definitely easier to just take the front bumper off.

Thanks for watching
Just discovered your videos..... I really enjoy a step by step approach that you use.

Accost2u well at least you caught it before you tore it all apart!
Great video! Like always. Can’t wait till next the next video.
Even though my Fiat 500 is a Sport I still enjoy watching you work on the Abarths. Much of what you are doing is applicable to my Sport. Thanks
Thank you Bill! Yes you are correct, a lot of the videos do apply to the Sport. Appreciate the support!
Gold. Thank you so much 👊

Thanks for the informative video with very detailed guidance! I'm not a fan of the red paint in the headlight reflectors though 😂
thank you for this, I just got my rad off, will button it back up tomorrow (rad was bent, fan put a hole in it)
Thanks 🙏
Buen video gracias
Changed men on my tjet to a direnza rad. Much better build quality 👊🏻
Does anyone know what the blue connector at the radiator fan is for ?
that darth maul brake caliper so cool
Ya this customer has been very creative with his mods on this car. It’s really cool
Thxxxx ✌🏼✌🏼✌🏼
