Although this is not a honda, i need the expert advice of honda-tech. My 1992 camry needs a new radiator and intake tube. The dealer said that the radiator is leaking coolant off the top and the intake tube is ripped were it goes onto the manifold.

Options:

1. Dealer said 416 for just the radiator part
2. nearly 600 for them to replace the radiator and intake tube

I just duct taped the intake tube (not sure if this was the best solution).

My questions:
How much is a reasonable price to pay for a used radiator at a junk yard?

How much experiencei and time is needed to replace the radiator? Any special tools?

Should I just have a local shop do it? I'm just weary since many of these places seem to try to rip people off.

Thank you

 

dude look around online for one... they arent THAT exspensive

 

go to a radiator shop it will be much cheaper and you can get the tube at any local parts store. Cheaper than the dealer
