OP, if you go looking for the radiator behind the driver's side door and don't find it, remember the V09 option isn't available to the US market.

In addition to Andy's excellent pics from the digital Service Manual I'm wondering where all these coolant and0 AC Fluid pipes are that now go thru the tunnel in my planned E-Ray?? They have to be in with the battery.




Hope they are using my idea and just having in go straight down and drop thru a small hole in an aero panel!

Guess there is room above. BUT 180 degree water in insulated pipes when they are running cooling water thru the battery pack! If I recall correctly there is an ideal temp the high voltage batteries like to operate around 100F.
