So this is what I'm doing this coming weekend: installing a new radiator and main hoses with a $650-lighter wallet.
I got lucky with mine. If I broke that off I'd have just sold the damn car and went back to something easier to work on. Germans and their over engineering stuff that doesn't need overengineered.
