Engine radiator VALEO or KOYORAD
Experienced a full separation of the top (and possibly bottom) plastic from the aluminum portion - would leak about as fast as I could pour it in. Replaced with Koyorad A2807 from RockAuto.com for $104 plus tax and shipping. Nominal time to repair for a non-mechanic is probably 4-to-6 hours - call it a day project.
Pros: fixed severe leak, cost-effective
Vehicle:
Nissan
Mileage: 531082 km
Part number: A2807
got a Koyorad off Rock Auto for around $100 and slapped it in there. Runs like a champ. It is a pretty easy job if you're mechanically inclined.
Pros: runs like a champ, easy job
Vehicle:
Nissan
I've had a Koyorad in my 97 for 5 years now and it's been great.
Pros: great performance, 5 years durability
Vehicle:
Toyota 4runner
i recently put a koyorad in mine as well, the hoses at the bottom took me forever to work with but it was worth it
Pros: worth the effort
Cons: difficult hose installation
I replaced it with a OEM style koyorad I found for $130 and corrected the radiator caps and my temps have been perfect all summer. It is a bitch to burp the coolant so I recommend buying the spill-free funnel.
Pros: perfect temperatures
Vehicle:
Subaru Forester
The Koyorad full aluminum radiator is the one to have. Paired to your Hayden 698 since it doesn’t have a section to cool the trans fluid, however definitely worth it for durability as the next alternative over OEM replacement rad.
Pros: excellent durability
Cons: no integrated trans cooler
Vehicle:
Toyota 4runner
I bought a Koyorad radiator for my 2003 Toyota Sequoia and worked out perfect!
Pros: worked out perfect
Vehicle:
Toyota Sequoia
I refused to install anything but a koyorad
Pros: high quality
Vehicle:
Toyota Avalon
my valeo radiator didn't come with anything.. im just hoping it doesn't leak from that zone.
Cons: hoping it doesn't leak
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Jetta IV
When I ordered a koyorad I didn’t get this in the box. I sent back what I got from them it was all dented and didn’t fit.
Cons: dented, didn't fit
Vehicle:
Toyota 4runner
