manual transmission

currently i have a valeo radiator.

this is my first diy. i am confused on what to buy

this what i have


and this is what stores give me giving my car specs i think it is different
bcause the old one doest have the TWO pipe at the bottom.



thx in advance

 

those two pipes are used for automatic transmission fluid. u can just leave them unplugged.

also will be a good idea to get two new coolant hoses and clamps.

search around on this site. tehre're plenty of DIY on the radiator.

 

i see thx. is it closed already or i have to buy something to closed it if i leftit unplugged.

is the thin and thickness matter to the radiator the dimension are the same but my old radiator is thicker.

thx again

 

u can just leave it like it is or stick something in there like a some paper towel and wrap it around w/ a tape.

how thicker is ur radiator? if its really thick like more than an inch, then u should go and replace it. if not, then i dont really think it'll matter.

the only difference is that u'll not be able to store as much cool water as you will w/ ur original one, while the car is running.

 

alright thx dude. i appreciate it
