To replace the radiator frame of the new Santana, you need to remove the front bumper, and then the radiator frame can be taken off. Scenarios for replacing the radiator frame: Generally, the radiator frame needs replacement when the front of the car is scratched or damaged in an accident. Minor scratches often lead to the replacement of exterior parts on the front face of the car. Even without an accident, the car's headlights may need replacement due to their lifespan. However, if the radiator frame is damaged and requires replacement, it might indicate a major accident. But determining whether a car has been in an accident cannot solely rely on whether the radiator frame has been removed or other parts have been replaced. Special models: Some special models, such as those from Volkswagen or Audi, like the Passat or A6, as well as Toyota and Lexus, require the radiator frame to be removed even for cleaning the radiator, which is not due to an accident. For these cars, the radiator and cooling fan are integrated into the frame. In spring, willow catkins can accumulate on the radiator surface, forming a "radiator blanket" that affects cooling. To clean it, all these parts need to be removed.
