  Q: How to service the radiator on Cadillac Eldorado?

  A:

  Service of the Radiator requires coolant drainage as the first step. Disable the sir system and place the forwarding discriminating sensor to the side. Uninstall both the cooling fans along with the air cleaner assembly. The service begins by disconnecting all components including the inlet hose and outlet hose together with the engine oil cooler lines attached to the right Radiator end tank and the transmission oil cooler lines which are connected to the left Radiator end tank. Solving the upper Radiator support screws allows you to lift the Radiator out of the vehicle. To install the Radiator correctly position it inside the vehicle with secure installation of upper Radiator support screws at 6 nm torque value (53 inch lbs). Reacommodate the transmission oil cooler lines onto the Radiator components and secure them with 35 nm (26 ft. Lbs.) torque and install the engine oil cooler lines to the Radiator with 18 nm (13 ft. Lbs.). After reattaching the outlet and inlet hoses to the Radiator, install both cooling fans and the air cleaner in its place. Reinstall the forward discriminating sensor after you enable the sir while filling the coolant.

  Q: How to replace the radiator on Cadillac Eldorado?

  A:

  Before replacing the Radiator one must drain the cooling system while removing the electric cooling fans. People should disconnect both Radiator inlet and outlet hoses from the Radiator together with Engine Oil Cooler inlet pipe if their car has it. Start by removing the front air deflector followed by depressions of outlet pipe tabs for removal of the Engine Oil Cooler outlet pipe. Drop the vehicle then take off both the upper and lower transaxle oil cooler pipe fittings which connect to the Radiator. After disassembling upper Radiator support screws you must lift the Radiator out of the vehicle by hand. Place the Radiator into the vehicle before tightening the upper Radiator support screws to 6 nm (53 inch lbs.). The lower transaxle oil cooler pipe fitting must connect to the Radiator with horizontal orientation followed by torque installation to 35 nm (26 ft. Lbs.). Then install the upper transaxle oil cooler pipe fitting by ensuring vertical positioning and performing the same torque specification. Support the vehicle when it is raised and guide the Engine Oil Cooler outlet pipe under the a/c compressor hose before fully inserting it into the quick connect fitting until you hear a clicking sound followed by a gentle tug test for adequate connection. Order the front air deflector then lower the vehicle before installing the Engine Oil Cooler inlet pipe to the Radiator using a 10-degree angle position with 18 nm torque (13 ft. Lbs). Install the Radiator outlet hose as well as inlet hose onto the Radiator while installing electric cooling fans before filling the cooling system and verifying engine oil levels along with transmission oil.
