Hi. Can anybody tell does coolant spill over the place when replacing the radiator?
Thanks in advance

Before replacing the radiator you have to drain coolant so most of the coolant would be out but some negligible amount would stay in the lower hoses and spill out when they are disconnected from the radiator. Check my video below at the specific time showing a lower hose removal and a small coolant spill. Some coolant would also remain in the lower part of the radiator and spill when the radiator is removed (21:15 time of video). Different Audi but similar principles.

Thanks a lot. There will be no spillage from upper coolant hose? I seen from lower one coolant spill on the floor and a bit on you.
What liquid spill from Atf cooler lines after you disconnected them?
Coolant from lower part of the radiator spill only on the floor not on any car parts that can burn (vaporization) while engine is running?
Exscelent video btw
