I'd take a look at my thread a few weeks back, some good links with pics etc of the removal process! Access is a right biatch, but if you don't have any dodgy bolts etc it's quite possible. It's much easier if you just take the engine out though
Brian, if you can get that done, then you are a super hero. Be prepared for some serious grief.
Good luck mate.
Let me know how you get on!
Cheers,

just got the borrowed rad in and run upto temp for the fan to cut in. im f**kin knackered. still got all the shroud bits to put back on, the undertray , and havent had chance to wash and wax her yet . think the neighbours will think im crackers if i start that now . might leave it till gti cos i dont want to miss the convoy .
Leave it and clean it when you get there. I will be doing mine (again!) already did it tonight.
That sounds like an amazing rad swap Brian. How long did that take you???
Nuff respect - well done!
Cheers,
Steve.

arrived at ross's place about 7.10pm. only took about 15mins to remove his rad from his 3b cos he never had any undertray or rad shroud .
arrived back at mine, about 8.10pm. removed mi split rad , then replaced it with the one ross lent me . had it runnin upto temp about 10.15pm, although i never attempet to re-fit my undertray .
just given it a well deserved all over body shampoo, with onlooking neighbours thinkin i have lost the plot.lol
so about 2 1/2 hours to remove two rads, and re-fit one
Geez that is good going!! And to think after hours of torture I gave up... Just tell me it's not the first time you've taken the rad out so I can save face
i changed one once on my 7a 2.3 20V coupe a few years ago.
think what spurred me on tonight was not missing the convoy tomorrow morning for gti . not much too it, just so long as all the threaded components are easy to undo. get a rusted threaded bit and i would have goten into trouble.
