year 1998 . including parts and labor.not using the dealer.



i have a slight leak near the drain plug where the plastic meats the alumonum radiator. wonder if i can get at it on a lift and epoxy it.that spot doesnt get very hot.


If you're in the US - look on Ebay autos - the radiator itself goes for as little as $140 delivered. Getting it installed is a few hours of labor if you're not up to DIY.. so see how much your independent mechanic is going to charge you. This would be a good time to do the thermostat, thermostat housing and the water pump if they've never been done. And it isn't worth trying to patch the old one - it will just start leaking again.

Too good to be true?....

That particular model should be available for a little over $200 in the U.S. The Visteon number is 9970
