ok so the cooland is now seeping from a slight crack on the radiator plastic bit

where can i get this fixed? i have sourced some radiators, but i dun have time to wait for them to be cleared from paypal and the shipped

so someone told me i can go to a shop and they can replace the black plastic bit?

anyone know places near bankstown, i'd rather not travel further then that in risk that it may be too far for the radiator!

Hey buddy,
What car is the radiator for? Is it oem?..I've got a very good condition EG5 radiator, which is approx. 3 months old. Only took it out to replace with an alloy unit. Yours for $50.

Am located in Liverpool.

go to a hardware shop and buy some seal for it, stops the leak for emergency use, prob get u a week out of it

yea, Honda doesnt stock the top tanks, which is what fails on their radiators after a long time of use, just get a koyo rad oem copy, shouldnt be too much, at least half or more less than Honda direct :) without the 3wk Japan wait lol

as a guideline for you then i paid $185 to have both top and bottom plastic end tanks replaced and resealed for a fwd sr20 radiator which is a full size item.

ive called a few places, one place wouldn't give me an over the phone quote

one place is 185+gst and 85 to take out the radiator from my car, but with jap radiator, or taiwanese part for 135+gst + 85 to pull the radiator out

other place is 180 in total to repair and take out the radiator

for a koyo replacement one I paid $350 (honda for a new one with a 3wk wait $950) for it new and installed, but supplied my own coolant

ok so i was going to go to the guys shop, but i couldn't make it up the ramp, was scraping like a mother ****er going up

so he came to my house, ripped the radiator out, took it back to his shop, fixed it, came back, put it back in, then poured coolant in, and checked if everything was ok

150$ good price. i got his number if anyone wants ;) but i tinhk he only speaks viet
