Accord Radiator
The work never ends! I pressure tested my radiator over the weekend and
sure enough it is leaking along the top seam. I really can't afford a $350 OEM radiator from Honda. I know I will probably get bashed for even considering otherwise, but what does the group think of these? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...RK%3AMEWA%3AIT http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...RK%3AMEWA%3AIT |

You can also go to any auto parts place (NAPA, UAP, AutoZone, FLAPS, Canadian Tire, etc) and get a decent aftermarket rad for well under than $200. I'm using a Visteon dual-core right now in my Integra. It was $169 Cdn. The OEM single-core was $400. I don't know why the dealers charge such insane prices for their OEM rads. -- TeGGeR® The Unofficial Honda/Acura FAQ www.tegger.com/hondafaq/ |

Re: Accord Radiator
I am very fortunate to have a radiator repair shop nearby (Bridgeport,
CT) and they did a very good job resealing a radiator for a Saab I had. It leaked along a seam and it was good as new when I got it back. You may want to check the yellow pages in your area. Remco |

Re: Accord Radiator
I got one from 1-800-Radiators
Better than the stock one, half the price. G-Man "Trail Shredder" <trail@shred.com> wrote in message news:mkFUd.22237$Sa6.4713@fe2.columbus.rr.com... > The work never ends!

Visit all of them and get free estimates on how much it would cost for them to sell and install an after market radiator in your car. If you know how to do the work yourself, ask them how much it would cost to buy an after market radiator from them. In addition, if you know how to do the work yourself, visit auto parts stores like NAPA and AutoZone and ask them how much it would cost to buy a after market radiator and related parts. -- NEWSGROUP SUBSCRIBERS MOTTO We respect those subscribers that ask for advice or provide advice.

Re: Accord Radiator
I used performanceradiator.com and went down the street (Seattle, WA) to
pick it up myself. They ship all over though I believe. It was only about $130 for my 96 Accord. I put in on a year ago and 16k miles no problems so far. It was painted all nice and glossy black like the original and even came with a new radiator cap and new fittings.

Re: Accord Radiator
On a non-Honda Car I once took out the radiator and took it to a
repair shop. I think they welded it. I know someone who put some sort of stop leak in their radiator. It worked. But the mechanic warned the individual that it would narrow the passages inside the radiator and cause it to be less effective. |
