My radiator is leaking, and needs to be replaced. Does Denso make the OEM radiator? What should I be paying, and how much labor is involved?

Thanks

 

$75-$150 for the radiator $30 for fluid and another $150-$300 for install depending were you go this is a rough estimate but just to give you an idea.

 

I had mine done through Lexus with an aftermarket Denso radiator. It just so happened, that replacement radiators starting leaking about 18 months after the install. That was 3 times they replaced the radiator including the original factory radiator that came out of the car! They charged me around $500 but no charge to replace the 2 defective ones. No problems so far with my current radiator.

 

Thats insane I hope you got a free oil change or something out of that headache lol why were the other ones defective did they have cracks in the plastic or bad welds?

 

Leaking from the core.

 

Thats crazy I will keep an eye out if end up replacing mine.

 

My guy wants $500 for a new radiator, labor, and coolant. Fair price?

 

Yah that sounds about right

 

An aftermarket Denso rad can be bought for $66 at Rockauto. I could have it installed in about an hour, for the sake of argument with clean up etc. let's say 2 hours, so $500 seems a bit outrageous ...
