Replacing Radiator; How hard and should I do hoses too? 850

posted by  someone claiming to be Sandro P. Seminara on  Mon Nov 12 12:02 CST 2007 [RELATED]

Hi I have a 95 850 Turbo with around 250,000 Miles and noticed a very small leak from the lower portion of my radiator. How hard is it to replace the radiator? Also I'm thinking of going OEM since mine has so long, and I know the Nissean brand has problems. Is OEM recommended? I follow the BMW board and theirs people who have gone through 6 of them, all with defects. Now my hoses are not split or buldging either, but do you recommend chaning those also? And which hoses should I replace? I also noticed I have to take off several of these clip clamps that hold the oil and tranny cooler hoses in. I assume I should replace those also right? Lastly for someone who's done this before, how long has it taken to complete and any tips?

Regards
Sandro
