Like the title says, would an ED radiator work in a DA?
My DA temperature gauge has been fluctuating after I installed a new thermostat and water pump. IDK if the radiator is flowing well. I have my ED sedan radiator ( newish-stock replacement) and wanted to throw it on to test it. The DA is my daily and I’ll only have it for about a week.

I know the DA is dual core, would using the ED/EF radiator cause any problems? ( its an auto BTW- both cars)

Thanx in advanced

 

its more the size of the core in length, will it fit across the front, are the hose placements the same and most important are the hoses the same size, d16 and B18 hoses have different sizes if I remember correctly. Oh do you use 50/50 antifreeze/coolant in your system or do you use water because if you use water then yes your radiator is trashed because it will have calcium and lime build up and block the passages, ALWAYS spend the money for 50/50 it's not that expensive.

 

Although I agree with eclipsedsundown on the use of antifreeze I do not agree on spending money on 50/50, half of what is in container is water, get antifreeze and mix in the water yourself.

Before you do anything bleed the coolant system, a fluctuating temp gauge is an indication that you have air in the system. 94

 

I bought this car about ~3 weeks ago. already replaced water pump,timing belt,both radiator hoses,thermostat,cam seals,valve cover gasket and spark plugs.
I've bled the coolant about 2 times. I ALWAYS use 50/50 in my cars, But IDK what the previous owner did to it LOL

the DA hoses are a bit bigger but nothing clamps can handle.I'm just going to switch them today and we'll all find out LOL
