Accord Radiator HELP !!

[040501912]

Hi guys, is there any type of aluminum radiator for accord cd5? My radiator Gave up again, as the top tank LEAKS !! i fixed it 1 1/2 year ago and D**N it no more warranty on it.

The way i see is not worth it to fix the Top tank and resealed it. i would probably chase for a better radiator, as Turbo produced so much heat T_T

I was thinking Civic Aluminum radiator half size. but would it help for the cooling? or i need a full size to keep engine cool?

Thx guys

What we did for our CD accord was to reseal the top tank with high temperature epoxy glue. No more problems after 5 years.

Top tank replaced, and resealed...

funny is when the engine is cold (not running), fluid creeping out from the top. but when the engine is quiet warm (running) fluid doesnt come out as the top tank dries, no fluid leaking from it. ... is it because of the pressure or the heat?

epoxy glue.. thats sounds better den buying another radiator..
