    Guys ano mas ok between the 2? and should it be copper or plastic? Im about to replace my old radiator na kasi since na overhaul na to dati and lately lagi na nagooverheat car ko and pansin ko may mga rust particles na rin sa loob everytime I open the radiator cap. Its for my corolla 1997 gli. How much din ang labor for radiator replacement? and can you recommend a good shop? im in pasig/marikina area.

    Im using taiwan plastic 2rows sa 92 corolla. 4yrs na ata wala naman problem. Kunin mo 2rows mas marami tubig at mas malamig engine. Mas mahaba nga lang warm up mo.

    I would always prefer copper or metal radiators than plastics. Metals will even outlast your car if well taken good care of. First, do not use tap water as this is always the source of rust and mineral deposits. Always use distilled water mixed with a good brand of anti-rust, anti-boil radiator coolant.

    Hope it helps.

    There is a reason bakit plastic top and bottom ang stock radiator. In the event of clogged radiator and mag overheat and sasakyan, puputok ang plastic para ma relieve ang pressure instead na ang engine head mo ang mag suffer which is mas costly kesa magpalit ka ng radiator. So nothing wrong with a plastic top radiator. Tatagal naman ang plastic radiator, iwasan mo lang buhusan ng tubig lalo na pag mainit ang makina kasi lulutong.

    plastic, aluminum and copper radiators, all have their advantages and disadvantages. google them, po.
    the advantage of the plastic radiator, is its cheaper cost of manufacture. yun lang.

    pressure overload? relief is via the radiator's relief valves or the radiator cap's pressure release mechanism.

    isn't evercool locally manufactured? buy it, if one has to buy a new one. it's good for the economy.

    Mas gusto ko din copper radiators dahil pwede siya ipagawa sa tabi tabi in case magka-leak.
    Kung brand new ilalagay mo, palagay ko hindi aabutin ng isang oras ang pagkabit niyan. Kung DIY guy ka, madali lang yun.

    Sa mga nababasa ko, okay naman Evercool radiators.

    A radiator guy (kanto kanto lang) installed a copper 4 rows radiator sa small body namin noon... Nag fit naman kaso maiskip...

    I personally prefer copper kasi pwede gawin kahit saan... Nabasagan dati ako ng plastic radiator sa North and epoxy steel lang solution na binigay sa akin ng mechanic na nakita ko

    ok evercool. iyan ang replacement na ginamit ko dati sa ek namin. tumaggal hanggang nabenta na lang din iyong kotse

    copper ang material na ginamit nila tapos ang factory nila sa laguna

    it's not the cheapest around but it's pretty durable if maintained properly

    Been using Plastic radiator for more than a year na ata... 2.1k ata (Di ko maalala sakto) kuha ko sa LVC Banawe, buo pa naman sya at wala naman akong naging problema... napansin ko lang di talaga sya tunay na "2 rows" since 1 row lang talaga sya mas makapal lang compared sa pinagpaltan ko.

    Regarding sa pagsalpak mejo natagalan ako gawa ng nabaklas ko na yun luma kong radiator nang ma realize kong hindi pala original na pang EE100 yun Aux Fan ko kaya naghanap pa ako ng aux fan ng walang gamit na kotse.

    All in all masasabi kong sulit na sulit yun bili ko sa platic rad.

    Sa price may difference mas mura ang taiwan plastic. At yung 2rows radiator mas maganda kasi mas maraming capacity ng tubig. Mas matagal nga lang ang warm up mo sa morning. Kung ako sayo buy plastic taiwan na 2rows.

    I am planning to replace my radiator, since it was overhauled/cleaned since 2011. Ano magandang replacement na OEM pa rin? What brand?

    pag copper/brass narerepair if magka leak
    pag yung aluminum plastic- hindi na daw na rerepair yun sabi nun nakausap sa pinag pa overhaulan ko dati
    (paki correct nalang po kung mali ako dito) at mas marami daw laman na tubig ang aluminum kaysa copper brass radiator pag compare mo ng same rows.

    yung rows naman un butas if 1row isang halera na butas if 2row dalawang halerang butas. mas kakapal yung radiator mo pag madami rows. check mo nalang if kakasya ba sa space ng kotse mo yung radiator.

    oo nga nag ask din ako sa evercool quote sa nissan b13 mt 94 ay 4.8k 1row 6.4k 2rows

    check mo na din yung mga mounting rubber ng radiator mo baka need nadin palitan. nun nagpa overhaul ako sira na pala mga mounting hirap mkahanap ng replacement hehe. iba iba nga name nun pinagtannungan ko "radiator support/ radiator mount bushing" sabi nila. ito yung pnag papatungan ng radiator sa upper and lower portion ng radiator. pag sinearch mo sa internet name nya po is radiator mount bushing.
