So, some *** hit the front of my car and now i need a new driver headlight, fender, hood, and radiator. My problem is, I wasn't hit that hard so I dont know why my radiator is broke but all the coolant keeps leaking out. I dont drive it unless I desperately need to, and I'll fill it with water. My question is how hard is it to replace the radiator, and do I need to replace the fan assembly? I've been quoted around $150 for a junk yard radiator, and the same for the fan assembly, so that's $300!!! I can get a new radiator for $165 from Autozone so i'll most likely do that. Can anyone help me find better prices or help with the fix?

 

Get a helms and it won't be a very hard fix. Radiators tend to cost a bit(close to $400 for a fluidyne) also, so $150 doesn't sound bad. I'd personally go with the used factory radiator or a fluidyne.

 

but a 10 year old junk yard radiator? the autozone one isn't factory but it does have a life time warranty for the same price.
