OK thanks for the reply! I'm going to buy a radiator within the next couple of days. I just don't know what brand to buy...I'm sure OEM will be overpriced, but maybe worth it.

This radiator was replaced after I hit a deer last year. The thermostat is only 6 months old.

And yes, my belts are always making noise. I think a pulley is on its way out too.

 

Just out of curiousity, do you have the rubber grommets installed on the radiator pins?

 

If your talking about the bottom of the radiator, yes.

 

I honestly think you have another issue causing these problems other than just the deer.

Change your cap just in case while you are at it.

 

AARONHL- thanks for your help. Hopeful you'll figure and fix your problem soon bro..

Eric- thanks for the input of method and it really make since I'll give it a try 2morrow..(cross my fingers).
One other thing, while driving do leave the heater fully blasting at 90*? And i heard some said to use the a/c also. Would I do the same with your method? Hope I'm not confusing u....thanks.

 

What could be causing it to leak?

 

Bad radiator, loose clamp, bad o-ring, or problem with your hoses...or a combination of these.

if your radiator cap isn't opening and is causing excess pressure buildup it could cause the radiator to start leaking too.

 

Hmmmmm I haven't been driving my car lately, but this week I am going to see if I have a warranty on the radiator.

 

Damn, this has been happening to me lately. I recently put in anti freeze about a week ago, and when cleaning the bay, I noticed it was completely empty again. I also noticed my heater doesn't work on 90 unless I'm moving. This all started happening after swapping out my upper plenum, So I'm guessing something isn't tightened.
Going to re install tomorrow and hopefully itll work.

 

if you need a radiator i have my factory one less than a year old with fans n everything for cheap lol.

 

How much? :?)

 

umm iunno whats fair how does a hundred bucks sound? i can send you pictures n whatever i just took it out because i did a motor build and wanted to upgrade its just taking up space in the garage along with a bunch of parts

 

I'm going to check if I have a warranty on the one I have, I'll let you know if I need yours.

 

coupe and sedan radiators are not "interchangeable" ?? Maybe thats just the 5AT vs 6MT though?

you still been going through fluid?

 

I added fluid last week and the level is still high enough. I also bled the lines because the upper radiator hose was decompressed. It is decompressed again!
