This job can be done without removing the front of the car at least on a right hand drive 2008 Golf GTI. The fans go out the bottom and the radiator comes out the top. The radiator does require a bit of careful manouvering to get it out the top but it is 100% doable.
I am really hoping mine is like this because on other videos I watched you have to take everything from the front off because the ac condenser bolts on to the front side of the radiator
@@Ben-nx7yy there's is actually the thermostat housing plus two more thermostats. The inlet and outlet. Replacing the housing alone didn't fix my issue I had too replace the other two as well. This is for dsg cars anyway.
Very thorough video…thanks

my rad was just floating in there so am trying to figer out who to get it in there and supported
@@melvinhanson948 I got mine all done and wish you luck on figuring yours out
AC lines screw into a small bracket thats attarched to the radiator right?
I don’t remember but I tried to not mess with them unless is had to in order to move the core support enough.
You dont need to take the bumper off or take the headlights out
Correct! Easy job with front end in situ, takes about a hour total remove, replace & refill!
I wonder if you can fix mines
Lol how much you paying 😂
Is this the same as the tsi on mk5 gti ?
Should be very similar if not identical.
Where's the radiator thermostat? Not the thermostat housing. L
Thermostat is usually inside the thermostat housing lol
