WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.
- The radiator and condenser may have small indentations on the fins even when installed correctly. This is not damage. Do not replace the radiator or condenser because of those small indentations.
- Slight deformations on the side condenser securing straps (for example, due to an accident) that result in an unparallel flow from the condenser and radiator can be repaired by pulling the straps back as long as the function/condenser sealing is not impaired. The condenser does not need to be replaced if there are small deformations on the straps.
- A slight bending of the condenser (up to 4 mm) is permissible as long as there is sufficient distance (minimum 4 mm) between the condenser and the radiator and the function/sealing of the condenser is not impaired. The condenser does not have to be replaced if there are slight deformations.
