RADIATOR PROBLEM 700 1991

I am no car expert, but I could not have much faith in a plastic repaired radiator, but that's just me. I really don't know if they can be fixed.

I recently replaced my radiator because of a small leak. I bought a CSF brand all metal 3 row copper radiator for about $190. It did not mount quite the same way but I am very happy with the results. It had to be attached with two screws and bolts to the intercooler. It is cooling much better than the original one. The temp does not go up with the air conditioner on while at red lights. I had never changed a radiator before so it took me a while, but it was not that hard to do. The only thing that tripped me up was that a brass adapter on the old radiator had to be pulled off and moved to the new one for the transmission cooler line to reach it. Once I realized that it was a snap. Good luck with it. I noticed that there are cheaper one's but thought I would mention that I am happy with this new one.
