its pretty easy mate, first thing to do is take off the grill, two screws iirc then there is four 10mm screw bolts at each side, two in the top (into the wing) and two underneath the light (into the chassis leg) and the two bolts holding on the radiator (one on the left is a pain to get through the small gap with the rubber on) oh and the horn is connected to it aswell iirc easier to just unplug it and remove when off the car, and as haynes would say refitting is reverse of removal

aha loving the difference there my radiator was £45 instead of £90 for a genuine one and i thought that was good!

Vee W Services in Bristol = £35 for a Golf2 GTI radiator - now that's proper cheap.
