Install time for CSF Radiator

gomer_110 · 11-26-2012, 02:13 PM

Does anyone have an estimate on how many hours it takes to remove the stock radiator and install the CSF radiator? Just trying to figure out the price I'd pay if I have a local shop do it for me.

You'll most likely not want to try to DIY the radiator. The AC condensor is part of the unit, so you'll have to evacuate the system and recharge it afterwards. Not sure how many hours of labor it takes since my car was having a lot more work done at the same time.

I just did mine myself. But I deleted the AC. Either way I'd guess that a shop would charge about five hours.
