Grande Punto Radiator replacement

[cjb1970]

Hi, hope I've put this on the right forum.


I've got an 09 1.4 8v Grande Punto with a slight leak on the radiator. Local fiat dealer want £300+ to fix it.


I've changed radiators before but had a quick look today and couldn't really see how it is fastened on and what exactly is required to complete the job.


Has anyone changed one before and how hard/easy is it?

Thanks for the reply.


No air con on this car. I was mainly wondering whether or not I need to remove the bumper or not?
