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.
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.
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!
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.
That is awesome and very systematic and detailed. Love to see automobile technical things. Been looking for Fiat Linea's complete service detailed video.
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 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
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 ?
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
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!
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?
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?
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 🤦🏼♂️

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!

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

Thanks for the informative video with very detailed guidance! I'm not a fan of the red paint in the headlight reflectors though 😂
Thanks for another Great video! I enjoy them all.
Great video! Like always. Can’t wait till next the next video.
Gold. Thank you so much 👊

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

Hope you get it resolved!

Should just take a couple hours to complete
that darth maul brake caliper so cool
Ya this customer has been very creative with his mods on this car. It’s really cool

If you are doing a drain/fill of the cooling system, it is definitely easier to just take the front bumper off.
Buen video gracias
Of course I went to search for this video on RUclips after watching it through a for rum and RUclips would not give me this video in my search
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

Take the bumper off and save yourself a lot of headache
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
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 ?

Accost2u well at least you caught it before you tore it all apart!
Thxxxx ✌🏼✌🏼✌🏼
