Volkswagen Rabbit Radiator
The Volkswagen Rabbit Radiator maintains engine heat of the compact hatchback by extracting heat from the circulating coolant and forcing it into the air. The core, which is made of aluminum and located only behind the grille, contains a tight grid of tubes and wafer-thin fins; therefore, any coolant that goes to the inlet tank diffuses over a large area and cools down fast when the car is in motion or when the fan turns on. After the fluid gets to the outlet tank, it goes back to the block to take in more heat, and this forms a continuous cycle that helps prevent overheating during city commuting or even on steep highways. Earlier models were made with more weighty copper or brass, but new Volkswagen vehicles are made using aluminum cores and side tanks made of molded plastic, losing even more weight without reducing strength. Efficiency is based on the constant flow of coolant via the water pump and the constant airflow via the fins, and the quicker the pair is moving the heat, the safer the engine is operating. A leak usually caused by a broken tank or a corroded tube is the highly frequent problem, and although it is possible to fix small holes in the short run, a new unit is the highly reliable remedy. Frequent coolant replacement of a Volkswagen allows the inside to have minimal deposits, and clearing debris off a Volkswagen grille keeps the air flowing. As long as a Rabbit is well taken care of, it will not overheat during summer traffic. The Radiator is the highly important heat exchanger, hence when the Radiator runs in the right mode, the temperature indicator will be consistent.

Volkswagen Rabbit Radiator Parts and Q&A
- Q: What precautions should be taken when disconnecting the battery and replacing the radiator and Coolant Reservoir on Volkswagen Rabbit?A:When the battery is removed, a number of systems would have to be re-learned before functioning properly. The replacement of radiator should begin by raising the front of the car and holding them with jackstands to ensure that they are stable, after which the cable that attaches to the negative terminal of the battery should be removed. Take the splash shield below the vehicle and empty the cooling system. To disconnect the intercooler lower hoses, remove them in the case of four-cylinder BPY engines. In both four-cylinder BPY and five-cylinder engines, the front bumper should be removed and the radiator support panel positioned with the service position. In case of four-cylinder CCTA and CBFA engines which have a noise generator, unlock the locking ring of the charge air pipe, disconnect the electrical connector, and remove the charge air pipe mounting fastener and the charge air pipe. Next remove the hoses out of the radiator and the fan shroud, then remove the air duct fasteners on each side of the radiator and remove the ducts where they exist. In five cylinder engines, loosen the fasteners between the condenser and radiator. Then dismount the radiator mounting screws and lift the radiator off of the vehicle, with the exception that in five-cylinder engines, the radiator will have to be pushed past the radiator support panel before removing the radiator mounting screws. Installation Before installation, replace radiator hose clamps and / or radiator hoses that are damaged and reverse the sequence. Fill up and bleed the system and start the engine and scrutinize it thoroughly regarding leaks. In order to change the expansion tank, drain the cooling system till the expansion tank is dry, remove the upper coolant hose, and remove the connector of the coolant level sensor. Take off the screw of expansion tank mounting, and take off the tank up, and disempennate the lower hose, and pull it out of the engine block. The reservoir should be cleaned and remove debris before installation, which is also in reverse order of removal.
