Help buying the right Radiator on my Civic '10, Plastic or Full aluminum?

[Liana]

Hi again guys, thank you for all the help the last time and Good afternoon!

I badly need another suggestion!

My car has a radiator leak at the plastic top cover, everytime na full including the reservoi, exactly 1litre ang nababawas sa coolant on each drive. Now, i want to replace it.
Which would be the right choice? Should i go for the same Plastic top radiator or the full Aluminum? Sabi po kasi ng pinsan ko, plastic ang OEM dahil my purpose and yun daw po unang masisira kung sakali, while sa aluminum, ala xa inputs..

Also, if i'm going for the plastic, ano po kunin ko, Taiwan or Japan made? What's the difference on the two by quality?
I'm eyeing the Aluminum type but i really need an experts suggestion on what 2row radiator to use on my a Civic '10..

Original Japan. Mura na lang radiator ng FD kahit sa casa ka pa bumili.

With my old Accord before, the plastic top part of radiator leaked. When the mechanic and I inspected the radiator, there was no leak on its body.

He suggested to repair the radiator by replacing the top and lower plastic portions with copper. It was done in half a day. The new top and lower portions were welded properly. It worked well even up to the point when I sold the car. Repair and labor costs were around 2k.

replacing the plastic 'tubs with metal.
i have heard of this.
done correctly, matibay daw.

i once had my metal tubs removed, then re-soldered back.
radiator man did it to clean the innards of the passageways.
no leakage problems afterward.

ask for price, compare with brand new... then decide.

buying from the casa is expectedly more expensive. but newbie owners probably have a sense of stability with it.
does it include labor?

Pag full aluminum, make sure na may mabibili ka radiator cap if nasira. Ang alam ko kasi iba ang radiator cap ng full aluminum.

For me ok lang kung "Taiwan" radiator. Most likely hindi pa Taiwan yan, but made in china yan. What is important is yung radiator core should be at least same size sa OEM, or better if bigger.

Nagtanong ka na ba talaga sa casa? Siguro nasa 8k lang yan OEM nila.

Nagtanong ka na rin ba sa denso?

If you're planning to keep it pa. Get the OEM.

Plus palitan mo na rin mga hoses tutal aalisin na rin and put the correct coolant.

Bumili ka na pre-mixed

I consider radiotor as a major part so OEM for me. The original lasted you 12 years so sulit na.

Basta pag plano mo pa gamitin yan sasakyan ng ilan taon Pa, OEM na ipalit mo.

I'm sure less than 10k lang radiatoe na OEM.

Pag mga underchassis pwede na yun mga Japan replacement replacement.
