Spectra Premium CU2387 Complete Radiator

This radiator appears to be well made, although the materials used to make all modern radiators are questionable in my opinion. There's nothing like 100% copper. Be that as it may, this unit was a perfect fit and it's currently holding up well so it appears to be a success. Actually, I purchased a radiator from another seller about three months ago and it was a piece of trash. It burst where the plastic meets the aluminum. A complete waste of money. Hopefully that won't be the case with this model. So far so good = 5-stars.

This radiator was a perfect fit for my 2002 Hyundai Elantra GLS. It arrived quickly and was easy to install. Everything worked as it should and after swapping out the old one, this one went right in without any problems. I have had this in the car for over three months now and I have not yet had any problems, it works like a champ. Couldn't have asked for anything more.

I installed this on my Hyundai tiburon. It was a little bit tight but relatively easy to install. The price was great. It was half the price of the auto parts near my home. The radiator even came with new little square nuts. I recommend using the new ones as the old ones won’t fit inside th new radiator. Do this if you have an automatic and you have oil in the radiator fluid but no coolant in your engine. The transmission fluid is entering your radiator through the transmission oil cooler that’s part of the radiator.

Was convenient and good deal

PERFECTION! Seriously a great buy for the cost. I needed it for my 2004 Hyundai Elantra and it did the trick! Purrs like a geriatric kitten, but she isn’t overheating anymore. This is a great deal and a quality part. I was leery because I’ve been done dirty with parts on here before, but everything form the petcock (which I believe is plastic) to the hose hookups were on point.

I haven't worked on cars much, but money forced me to gain a little mansperience and install this. After figuring out how to get the old radiator out (darn nuts and bolts in the way!) this baby slid into like a charm. The instructions say to flush it out with purified water -- DO THIS! Some flakes and chunks of stuff came out when we were flushing it. Saved bucket loads of money on this radiator -- even on what several mechanics quoted me for just buying a radiator, much less install it. We haven't had any problems yet, but I will change my rating if something happens. --- Updated 6/23/15 --- I still haven't had any radiator problems since I installed this!

Perfect fit for a 2006 Hyundai Elantra. If you have a Haynes repair manual, do yourself a favor and toss it in the trash. Whoever wrote the instructions for replacing the radiator must have been on drugs. Disregard its guidance to remove the radiator and fan intact. Take my advice to disconnect and remove the fan (two electrical connections and four bolts) before trying to access the bottom radiator hose and removing the radiator. It will make the job much, MUCH easier. I discovered this the hard way and almost gave up on the project because I couldn't even access the bottom hose clamp. Then I decided to go about it my own way and remove the fan first. The job became a breeze for any weekend mechanic. ADDITIONAL ADVICE: Be sure to follow procedures for properly refilling the coolant system. It's best to use a radiator fill funnel kit when restoring antifreeze in the last step of the radiator replacement. If you don't, air is likely to be trapped in the system and the car likely to overheat. Spend the additional money, do the job right the first time and avoid headaches.

Great replacement. Brand new, fit perfectly, and best of all - it was inexpensive on Amazon. This part goes for $120 at the auto parts store. Currently holding up after an overheat. Luckily, the overheat wasn't severe enough to blow the head gasket. Will update if it changes. On my Elantra it seemed like corrosion around the thermostat housing caused a coolant leak and the coolant to run low. It overheated. I replaced the thermostat and hoses and clamps and it overheated again and blew the radiator. I recommend doing a complete replacement of the cooling system afterwards: radiator, radiator cap, water hoses, thermostat, thermostat housing, water pump, and clamps after an overheat. The vehicle has been trouble free since.

Got it for a friend showed up early wanting perfect all in all great job too bad they blew the head gasket in the first week LOL so the radiator was exactly what I ordered showed up earlier and a pretty good price to so no complaints from me

Appears to be well made, fit perfectly, even the service shop that put it in was impressed - especially since my cost was substantially less than the shop's "dealer" cost for an equivalent after market radiator. Arrived about 36 hours after ordering.

It was pretty easy to install even for a person who knows little about cars. It took about 2 hours to remove the old radiator and install this new one. I'm impressed how reliable it is on my car. I highly recommend it!

If the pressure gets a little bit too high before your pressure release valve activates it will crack on the top

Perfect fit and works great! Had to remove one of the auto transmission connections to fit my car with a manual transmission, but not a big deal.
