Well,now I got another problem now,besides my ABS dash lite going on & off! :-( I was under the hood today to check the oil ,etc. and wondered why it was so dirty everywhere.Then on top of a fan shroud,I found a small puddle of antifreeze. Thought it was cuz the rad cap wasnt totally closed.Anyway,when I filled the rad back up with more fluid,I started seeing the green stuff where I just wiped it up.Yurns out there is a hairline crack,just below the center top of the radiator facing front! Great,just what I need with no money coming in...I'm unemployed.The crack doesnt seem to look repairable,& I dont think tape will hold. So,who is good,reasonably priced radiator supplier for our 8G Galant C6's? I found this really cheap one on Ebay--> http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/MITSU...Q5fAccessories

 

get a new radiator, all of those radiators crack in the exact same spot. galant and eclipse. you can get one at auto zone if you want. ones at autozone or and chain parts houses for that matter will run around 150.00 factory one will run you around 350.00. greg...

 

please dont buy anything from autozone. i have heard too many bads things about them. i worked at a shop for a while and they would never ever use parts from autozone. napa or oriellys are soo much better. mow a couple lawns and you will have a new radiator soon enough! hehe

 

radiatorbarn.com
all metal ~170
all plastic ~120

 

Only thing I ever get from autozone is axles 150 +warranty

 

In my opinion Auto Zone is as good as any and better than most auto parts stores. You can't beat their batteries and they sell as many brand name parts as any of the other stores.

 

Maximus or anyone else, got an update on this? I've got the same hairline crack and I'm looking at the cheap ebay radiators. worth it? How did you make out with yours?

 

I bought all metal radiatior from radiatorbarn.com.
no more cracks for me

 

every galant from 1999 to 2003, and every eclipse from 2000 to 2005 had the same thing happen. at around 70,000 to 100,000 miles the radiator will develop a hairline crack just below the filler neck.

 

I cannot find anywhere the measurement specs for a replacement radiator for my 1994 16v 1595cc glx abs L reg bg pop up lights 323f. the main measurements are 530 - 490 for the fixings and 388 core as far as i know but the actual width is either 650 or 565.

Are there any spec sheets? ive looked everywhere. the rad i bought has a hairline crack at the bottom somewhere..the connection pipes look ok.

also need the plastic engine stone protection tray...any ideas?
