Hey guys,

I noticed on Saturday that my radiator has a small crack on the top of it and its leaking coolant all over my engine bay.

I was just wondering if this is a common issue and how much a new replacement radiator is if anyone has had theirs replaced?

Cheers.

Usually its the top tank thats the issue.

Jump on ebay and just buy one of the polished ones for $259 + postage. This is what my mate did over 18 months ago now, and he hasn't had a problem with it at all.

*Note: Honda charge $936 for an OEM replacement.

Thanks guys.

I gave PWR a call..... $825 for a PWR radiator. 1 week lead time as they dont keep them in stock.

Im getting an OEM honda for around $400.

Thanks for the help.

same happened to mine

I took it out and gave it to NATRAD, they crimped on another top tank for $130

Damn if I knew i could have gotten away with a top tank renew I would have done it oh well already ordered a Koyo radiator. Um sooo if anyone wants a oem radiator with a small hairline crack in the top tank please PM me.
Up for grabs. =)

I recently had the same issue, somewhere along the top of the radiator I had a crack, I bought a 2nd hand one and replaced it myself

Damn for $825 I'd rather an Australian made PWR radiator than a $700 Koyo thats possibly a fake and made in China / Taiwan / Vietnam etc.

Thanks for the replies guys.....

Hanny`s fitted my new radiator in under an hour with new coolant for $440 total.

Awesome service as usual.
