Guess I needed a new radiator - Honda Prelude Forum

My radiator was leaking a bit the past couple weeks so I figured it was a good time to replace the radiator before my trip to Boston next thursday. Well I certainly had quite a surprise as to why I've been leaking and not cooling as well as possible.

just buy a oe replacement and that should solve your problem. I installed mine in like 3 hours without any problems.

you must've been taking your time, it should take more than an hour at the maximum.

Holy ****, how'd that happen?

I bought the car used a year ago and I guess it was probably never replaced...so a few years of Ohio wet weather apparently ate away at the fins until it just started to disintegrate. This thing was destroyed, just touching caused the fins to turn to dust.

It took me so long cause i had to make a run to shucks to get new hoses, since I decided they should be replaced while I was at it. Plus I'd never done such an operation on my car before, and i did it alone.
