2004 XJ8, can the radiator be removed without disconnecting the AC condenser line? I don't see how.

By the way I have read many posts on leak detection and did not see any suggestions for using UV leak detection die. Glows under UV light. I found it useful.

 

Hi, I don't believe so. You would have to evacuate the freon from AC system before disconnecting lines...

 

I replaced the radiator on my XJR and the condenser line had to be disconnected. No way around it that I could figure out.
