Call Koyo and I am sure they will be willing to go over it with you. They would probably like to investigate this themselves.

 

If you havent paid for it yet then maybe you should just order the radiator from invision and know that its not a fake. I personally would avoid buying car parts which can be easily duplicated on ebay myself but to each his own. The extra ten bucks you would spend at invision could be considered peace of mind cost considering your not sure whether or not your getting the real deal from ebay.

Good Luck.

 

The real Koyo radiators have a little hologram on them. You can check for that once you get it.

 

Thanks for your input.

Payment has already been made and radiator is enroute.

 

Where on the radiator?

 

When Microsoft put out a version of Windows, it had a hologram that was supposed to prove it was real too. Didn't take the chinese long to duplicate it.

Face it, even reputable stores sometimes get fake parts they sell as originals. It's just easier on Ebay because there's less accountability. Just install it and hope for the best.

 

Its on the bottom. If they can duplicate the hologram they they can't probabably duplicate the radiator as well as the original.

That being said I had a legit Koyo that spung a big leak after about 6 months, so I personally wouldn't buy one again, real or not.

 

I have a Koyo in my Civic. 2 years zero problems.
