Changing Radiator
I need to change my radiator as its leaking, where is the best place to get one from and what coolant will i require? Its a 1997 wrx sti import.
Thank you |
ebay circa £100.
I got mine off someone called : radiator_specialists got next day delivery and better quality than standard radiator. Craig |
Can vouch for them as well. Had one from the same place.
Doddle to fit and good quality. |
Brilliant i will order one today. What is the best coolant to use?
Thanks for your help |
Green one IIRC, i used Comma
|
Thanks for your help guys. How much antifreeze will i need and how much does the system hold?
Cheers |
It depends on the anti freeze really and its concentration.
I normally put 1/3 antifreeze. I put 2 liters in my system. Craig |
a classic will take about 7.5 litres if it is empty. Take time when refilling as it is easy to get air in the system and not so easy to get the air out. Whilst filling the system, keep giving the bottom rad hose a squeeze
|
Cheers for the all the info, will give this a try at the weekend.
Cheers |
How did you get on?
My radiator has just let go on my UK MY97, just wondering how you got on with the rad from radiator_specialists and how easy it was to replace and if you had to purchase any other replacement parts at the same time.

Hi mate, changing the rad was much easier then i thought. Just disconnected the bottom hose to drain all the coolant and took off all the other hoses. Un bolted the brackets holding the rad on. Disconnect the two fan plugs (bit tricky) then it just pulls out. I also stuck a hose pipe in the header tank and flushed all the old coolant through.
Hope that helps :) |
Yup
