Hi, I've got a radiator leak. Tried removing but it looks like it is stuck to the condenser. My question is, do you know if it is attached as one unit? Or am I missing something?

Hello, I'm Danny.

No, It's attached to the condenser but separates by bolts. Here is a tutorial showing a radiator removal:

Hi Danny I managed to replace the radiator, turns out it was a couple of induction hoses running from the compressor (supercharger) that had to be removed before freeing the radiator. That was a successful project, connected everything back seems to be running fine. I got another question though I have the MBII obd scanner and it gave me a B1100 code any idea how to interpret this code? On the same c230k by the way. Thanks once again.

I hooked the car (2004 c230k) up on a MBII obd scanner and gave me a B1100 fault code any idea how to interpret it? Can't find anything on it. Have a feeling it has something to do with the AC because when I run it for a while then the check engine light comes on.

Hello again.

Yes, that code has to deal with an A/C issue. I've attached a diagnostic test step below. Hope this helps and thanks again for using 2CarPros.
