Car is over heating. Need anti-freeze every few hours.
Before changing radiator is check thermostat which may be sticking. A lot cheaper and easier to replace. Can remove and put in pan on kitchen stove in water bring to boil to see if therm will open or simply buy new one. There cheap enough. Also I'd check hoses as years of use they do buildup gunk especially if uv used any type of bars leak/ etc. No luck with those radiator. Easy to change should be 4-6 bolts. Can buy a Haynes or Chilton book which I usually do for every car I own or can get screwed bringing to garage. Gl
First before you change the rad check your thermostat and try to flush your system and check if you got leak aroud the w/pump.

Check the coolant level, do this with a cold engine. Or if you have recently used it. let it cool down for about 25 minutes before removing the radiator cap. if it is low, refill with coolant. If it does not, check your thermostat. Or better yet replace your thermostat. Be sure to get the right one . the same degrees as your old one. Just ask the teller to give you one for your engine size and car Model.And year.See where the radiator cap is. Then drain some coolant to where it will not spill from the radiator cap. Remove the hose nearest the radiator cap and you will get to the thermostat housing. Remove the housing and note how the thermostat is placed. Take of the thermostat housing and the old thermostat. Clean the housing and around the hole where the thermostat goes of any deposits. Get some grease and cover the new gasket with grease on the housing to hold it in place. replace the New thermostat and make sure it is flush with the engine and the housing. If it is off , you could break the housing upon tightening the housing.replace the hose and refill with coolant slowly to eliminate any air spaces.. Also check the coolant reservoir and fill it to the indicator line. Restart the car and chek for any leaks. Then check the heater after the engine heats up. If that does not do the job it could be the temperature sensor or the heater core.The heater core will take more time to check and clean or replace.

You have to take out the ash tray, and remove those two screws, then pop out the center dash trim. Careful, though, you have to take out a lot of the wiring inside of your center dash trim in order to pull it out for enough room to move the radio in and out. I'm doing this right now, actually..

once you pop the hood, there should be a cover behind the light housing that you twist to open the backing.. inside the housing will be a spring lever that secures the bulb down... unhook the spring and disconnect the harness connecting to the bulb...

hi as this vehicle takes 6.5ltrs of liquid in the cooling system ( 1.6 16v based on ) as you did not give the engine size, but, 3.5ltrs of coolant is needed as it should be 50/50 depending on where you are and the temperature it has to deal with, warmer countries only need 30/70 That's 30 coolant to 70 water, but, if you are in a colder country it would be 80/20 that's 80 coolant to 20 water...and any standard coolant is ok no need for a specific one hope this helps please vote thanks
