Did this radiator job for a customer. This is a very difficult job, and it takes about 4hrs to do for an advance mechanic. Ths job involves removing the bump…

no its not,,you guys crazy i changed mines in about 1 hour no bumber
removal
Man go to school between u and buddy that did his mazda 3 transmission I
think it is aparent that u guys are german and tear apart things back
asswards thank god someone didnt tell you to remove the motor u might be
looking in the trunk, wtf is wrong with u remove the over flow bottle then
the rad fan and with a 6 inch extention remove the two screws in the a/c
condenser remove all coolant and hoses and its out u took a 1 hour job and
turned it into 4 hours to just remove it? Really like come on give ur head
a shake call maza and ask for a labour quote thats the time it takes and at
that a good wrench finishes in half the time quoted
So is the 02 Mazda Protege set up the same? Or is it as complicated as the
Mazda 6 here?
i just changed mines very quick job if you know what you are doing. took
2hrs in this cold to uninstall with breaks to go warm up. Spent $45 on a
NEW radiator from cgl and put it back up in 1hr. i did not break anything
don’t see how you could if you take your time. removal of shielding, grill,
bumper cover, bumper, headlights, radiator support, ac condenser and fan
loosen up to remove radiator sandwiched in between, radiator drain plug
then removed the hoses on top and bottom easy as pie
OK, so the rad was punctured by the passenger side fanblade (it has 2 1/2
blades out of 5 now!!) They drove through deep water!
I did it in 1.5
you do not have to discharge the AC. You simply remove the brackets on the
passenger side for the “high” side. It is still a beast of a job. Also,
this technician / mechanic did not disconnect the battery. I would advise
doing so, especially if the vehicle is equipped with airbags.
damn, capnt…!!!! im looking at doing this same job on a 2004… with the
2.3L… thanks for the heads up on the extensive work… Any tips will be
appreciated.
Thanks for the heads up. Alldata info wasn’t very helpful or clear on
exactly what was required or the time needed.
Wow, I think 4 hours might be on the low side, imagine 1 grand to change a
rad !!
How much for fixing the radiator? Was that the 1st. Timing belt replacement
on the escape and how many miles.
Pls how do i check my mazda 6 ts2 number for replacenent pls mail me.
