For $20 it’s always worth

replacing the thermostat,

and use a genuine one! Also

don’t forget to install a new

thermostat gasket as well. Once

you’ve cleaned off all the old

gasket from the housings, apply

some good quality sealant to

the housing and ensure you

double check you’re installing

the thermostat correct to

manufacture specs. Carefully

bolt up the thermostat housing

making sure it doesn’t slip or

move around whilst doing so.

Before you install your new

radiator, you need to swap over

the mounts from your old one.

PWR radiators are designed

to fit using all the original

mounts, so its simply a case of

swapping everything over. Once

that’s done, bolt in your new

PWR radiator. Again for a few

extra bucks, chuck some new

hoses and clamps on. Once the

radiator, hoses and clamps are

fitted up, re-install everything

you took off including the fan

shroud. Once you’ve double

checked everything; it’s time to

fill the radiator with good quality

coolant, being sure to use the

same type of coolant that was

previously drained. Check your

vehicle’s specs as to what the

cooling capacity is, then mix

your coolant to correct ratio and

refill the system. Ensure you use

demineralised water not normal

tap water as this will help reduce

corrosion inside the cooling

jackets. When refilling your

coolant, you might have to undo

an air bleed screw, depending

on what 4WD you own. Once it’s

full, start the vehicle with the cap

off which’ll allow any further air

in the system to bleed out. Place

the cap on once you’re confident

and get it up to temperature,

take it for a drive and ensure you

have no leaks. Another way to

bleed the cooling system is to

remove the radiator cap and park

the vehicle so the radiator filler is

at the highest point. Then ‘burp’

the system by gently squeezing

the top radiator hose. Continue

this process until you can’t see

any bubbles coming out of the

filler neck of the radiator, then

re-install your radiator cap.
