Hi can anyone give me the instructions on how to replace the radiator of a 2005 Crossfire automatic?
Also should the water pump be changed at the same time or can I do that at a later date without having to remove the radiator again?
The car has done just over 70,000 miles and I’m replacing the radiator because some coolant has leaked into the automatic transmission fluid.
Many Thanks

 

I have found it.
In the service manual available for download on this forum pg 593 or 7-49.
If you are unable to locate the area for the manual please ask.
If I was in there I would replace the water pump now.

If you have any other questions please ask.

 

That and lots of other info is here.

Unless your water pump is showing signs of going bad I wouldn't change it, that thing is a PITA. I didn't change mine until my car had about 180k on it. Mine was still working fine but I did it as regular maintenance since I daily drive my car.

IF you do replace the water pump, make a cardboard template of the screws/bolts because there are various lengths of those holding the pump in place. You would not want a long screw/bolt going into a short hole that's for sure. About the cardboard template, as you remove one, place it in the position on the cardboard, and so on. You'll have a much quicker swap this way and not put the wrong one in any hole. Good luck!

Or just leave the bolts in the old pump, then transfer them as you install the new one.

 

Love the many ways we can service our cars!

Hi please can you tell me how to search by page number because I can't find that option, thanks

 

There are videos on U-tube.

 

At the top of the PDF there is a box with what page you are on. You can click in the box and type what page you desire. Or you can click on the chapter on the index page they are hyper linked.
Hope this helped if you’re still having issues please reach out again.
Or there are videos on you tube as well.

 

Hmmmm
You may want to take this to a professional.

Thanks for everyone’s help, in the end I took the car to the garage and they just put a new radiator in because the water pump seemed ok and it would have been expensive to change it if it wasn’t necessary

 

Glad you got it back and using it. Can I ask what the garage soaked you (for the radiator, and/or did you bring them a radiator)? Thanks, and again glad your back on the road!

The garage bill was about £400 including the part. Thanks

 

Hi Doc78, please could you let me have a link for the instructions on how to replace the automatic gearbox, or if that isn't possible maybe you could copy and paste them for me? thanks very much
