It just came in. Mine is cracked on the top just like every other one that I searched on here.

Does anyone have a step by step guide to fix this? Any special tools I may need? What kind of coolant do you guys recommend?

Anything else I should be aware of? I will try to do a do it yourself writeup with pictures.

 

check service manual, use honda oem coolant..while you at that you might ass well replace thermosat...

 

I wish I had the Manual. OEM coolant is the only way to go? Should I flush the system b4 I take the old rad out? THermostat was just done.

 

yes flush first. service manual is sticky. its in pdf right on top

How much does it cost to have a new radiator installed?

 

From Acura? Close to $800.

 

$800, ouch!!!

How much to have it done by someone other than a dealer?

 

^ I only paid $140 for mine, and I installed it myself in 30 minutes.

~Cheers~

 

i paid 180 for mine and got it delivered to me in about an hour same day and installed it about another hour.

 

^ Lucky ass. I was told it'd be delivered at 10AM, and I sat outside waiting until it started drizzling before it was delivered at 6PM, haha!

~Cheers~
