I have a the car listed above it is a turbo, automatic. I read the solution here and well here is how it went. I took off the air filter hose, the radiator fan and shroud (did it in one try they are both connected) unbolted the two bolts for the oil and the radiator hoses, took off the two clips, and when I tried to take the radiator off it just will not do it. Moves but cannot take it off where the rubber mounts are secured by the two clips.
If there are any pictures of a step by step that would be great.
