Engine radiator VALEO or MISHIMOTO
Have had no issues w my Mishimoto radiator and it's been on my car for 2 years.
Pros: no issues, durable
Replaced it with mishimoto and haven't looked back. Holds much more coolant that OEM and does a much better job cooling.
Pros: holds more coolant, better cooling
Vehicle:
Honda S2000
Replaced OEM with a mishi, Fitment is good part reason I went with it was I replaced the fans with mishimoto fans and it all slid in nicely
Pros: good fitment, easy installation
I have a mishimoto radiator. At idle the highest I get to is 196 F then it drops down to about 185 F. While driving I’m usually averaging about 178 - 190 F if I’m not in stop and go traffic.
Pros: stable low temperatures
Mine bolted right in, no issues, and works spectacularly.
Pros: easy installation, spectacular performance
Mishimoto, despite it being overpriced, does not have plastic parts.
Pros: no plastic parts
Cons: overpriced
With that taken care of reliability concerns would be pretty minimal and the core itself should be an improvement. I even confirmed with Mishimoto, in writing, that modifying the quick connects would NOT void my lifetime warranty with them.
Pros: improves cooling
Cons: gamble, core leaks
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Passat B6
Recently got rid of the mishimoto radiator and went back to the updated larger radiator
Cons: replaced due to issues
Vehicle:
Ford
stay away from mishimoto, their radiator quality is sub par
Cons: sub par quality
The Mishimoto all aluminum radiator (2 core) started leaking this past January (86k miles) in the top left corner (if you are facing the grill). From what I can tell with reviews, I was lucky to get 18k miles on that radiator.
Cons: started leaking, short lifespan
Vehicle:
Jeep
Mileage: 28968 km
