Radiator Cracked, Which new one to buy?
Got backed into last week and had my front end crushed/destroyed... thus needing new headlights/ radiator/ hood/ etc.
Been seeing a lot of choices for radiators but not sure which one works best for the money. Just looking for something that'll do its job and nothing fancy. A few I'm thinking about: Koyo: http://www.partsgeek.com/gbproducts/...02&fp=pp&gbm=a OEM Denso: http://www.partsgeek.com/gbproducts/...FcaDQgodEDAA4w $70 Local craigslist dude: No name brand radiator, just replacement he said. http://losangeles.craigslist.org/sfv...489395394.html Autozone had this one readily available for order but for $120: http://www.carparts.com/details/Hond...FSmCQgodmEIARA Just a few options, list any other recommended ones if you can. Thanks!

Auto parts ones are all china made, if you can get a oem one for the same price with same warranty id go for it, even if it atleast had a one year warranty its still better

I replaced my radiator 2 years ago due to overheating issues. It ended up being the head gasket, but I paid like 50 or 60 bucks on ebay for mine. Some people may want to go the route of the $200 radiator, but I haven't had any trouble with mine. I don't see why you would need something fancy unless you had some major engine upgrades or something.
Relatively easy install except those damn hoses didn't want to come off or on. I think I ended up ripping one of them with my needle nose . |
