Car Fix DIY Videos

►Unlike most cars, the Porsche 996 911 has two radiators that sit behind the front bumper instead of the one you would typically find. In the case of the Porsche 996, the need to replace your radiator is fairly common and should be addressed if you just purchased the car like us or if your car is getting up there in mileage.

Today, we’re replacing our 996 radiators with these CSF radiators with all-aluminum end tanks. The factory radiators on the Porsche 996 have plastic end tanks that can become brittle and crack from the high heat that they endure over time.

Mike Hidalgo, one of FCP Euro’s Porsche 996 aficionados, walks us through removing the front bumper to either clean your radiators, inspect them, or replace them if necessary. The process isn’t difficult and doesn’t require too many special tools, but it does feature quite a few steps, so be sure to follow along.
