Does anyone have any tips that I should know before replacing the radiator on my 1992 740 Wagon (183,000 miles). I have searched the FAQs and archives and haven't found any, which I hope means that it is an easy job.

Any pointers would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Andy

    1. If you have the rubber insert coolant sensor on the passenger side, make sure the new radiator comes with the rubber seal.
    2. Plan to change antifreeze at the same time. Use distilled water.
    3. Plan to change hoses and water valve if you have not yet done these. Now is the perfect time. They do not last forever, and when they fail they fail bigtime.
