64 53... Instructions for replacement of air conditioning condensers and radiator/coolers

IMPORTANT: Even when they are correctly installed or due to normal driving, coolers (oil cooler, radiator, charge air cooler) or air conditioning capacitors may show slight impressions or deformations on their discs (picture).

This is not damage.

Radiators, cooler or capacitors are not to be replaced in this case.

NOTE: The deformations shown can be bent back with a standard fin comb.

Damage to lines carrying media or on the flat pipe require replacement of the radiator/or air conditioning condenser (picture 2-6).
