If u get a mishimoto it won't break again
I put a Denso radiator in my wife's car.
It was packaged very well and arrived completely undamaged. It was a perfect fit.
You should absolutely fix, but $900 is steep from the quoter. Buy a quality rad (denso, nissens) and have it installed by a competent mechanic for $300 max.
I like my Mishimoto one. But I have an Auto, and the only one they had for the Baja didn't have the cooler built in, so I had to run an external trans cooler. But it all went easy, even with that. Electric fans and catch tank bolted right up no problem
Exact thing happened to me last year. Replaced with a Mishimoto
The crap-tastic mishimoto MMRAD-E36-92 that I use these days do come with a lifetime warranty and I send them photos of the leak and they just send me a replacement in a week or so. I have purchased 6 of them and replaced 2 under warranty. The "Z3" raditator won't fit as its too thick, but the Z3 IS and e36 so its confusing.
They're fine. They're one step above oem imo
Get the Denso radiator from rockauto. I tried eBay crap once and it barely lasted a year
I ordered a Denso radiator from RA earlier this year. Took my old radiator out of my truck before opening the new one (rookie move, I know). Well one of these fittings was bent/broken on the new one. Called every car parts store, mechanic, and radiator shop within an hour drive and no one had one. Someone finally pointed me towards a hydraulic shop and I had to have a guy there machine a new one for me. Been working without an issue. It was just crazy to me how difficult it was to find such a simple fitting.
The towing package radiator is 1" thick if I recall, I have used rockauto.com to find the radiator. The last one I bought was a Denso, I haven't had great luck with non-OEM radiators not leaking. There was one I bought that only lasted w years.
