Muy buena calidad

You can't beat this price. The radiator was shipped very quickly and looks like great quality. I have only leak checked it by driving around my small town once or twice and all seems good. Its basically an exact match to the original that I pulled out of my 07 Toyota Corolla (10 years and 307K miles on that bad boy!). My only two small observations, and I mean small, I would buy this radiator over and over all day long.1.) The two threaded mounting holes that the fan assembly bolts to seemed a little difficult to install. At first I thought there was no way they were going to line up. After fittling around with them for a few minutes I figured it out. Basically had to just start one of the bolts a turn or two and then install the other a turn or two. This lined up the fan assembly just right so that I could finish installing the two started bolts. My conclusion is that the radiator has the holes in exactly the correct location and spacing, just need to install in a particular way to line it up. Installing one bolt more than a turn or two would shift the other hole out of alignment.2.) The radiator came in nice packaging except for the fact that the upper and lower coolant connections did not have caps on them like the trani cooling line connections. There is styrofoam inside the box and I hope none of the little pieces made it into the radiator and there is no way for me to ever know. Maybe the manufacture is not concerned or does not care but I sure do.Great product though and I highly suggest it!

This product fit better than the one that was already in the car. It’s a used car so I don’t know if it was already replaced but it was super easy to get the new one in.Here’s a tip that I didn’t get from watching YouTube install videos…. Just unplug the fan and pull the entire radiator out with the fan attached. This makes uninstalling the fan and reinstalling it on the new radiator so easy compared to trying to remove the fan from the radiator while it’s still in the car.All of the YouTube videos I watched showed removing the fan while the radiator and the fan were still in the car. What a waste of time!

Fit good.doesnt leak

Got this for my 2003 Toyota Matrix. My old radiator was cracked and so I purchased this to replace it. Direct fit and easy to install. Came in brand new in a well protected box.
