Q: How to remove and install the condenser and radiator on Chevrolet Equinox and GMC Terrain?
A: To remove the condenser on 2007 and earlier models, unclip it. On 2010 and later models, the condenser must be completely removed. Inspect the radiator for leaks and damage, and if necessary, use special techniques for repair. Bugs and dirt can be removed from the radiator by spraying it with a garden hose nozzle from the back side, and it should be flushed out with a garden hose before installation. For installation, guide the condenser/radiator/fan assembly into position, ensuring that the rubber mounts on the bottom are properly seated into the support. Tighten the radiator and air conditioning condenser bracket bolts securely. Fill the cooling system with the proper mixture of antifreeze and water, start the engine and check for leaks. Allow the engine to reach normal operating temperature, then recheck the coolant level and add more if required. Finally, check the transaxle fluid and add more as needed.
