denso replacement radiator?

**turing** · February 6th, 2007 10:19 PM

tanong lang po... me crack kasi yung radiator ng sasakyan ko sa me lagayan ng tubig. kitang kita na tumutulas talaga yung tubig. i had it inspected by the people at autoworks and they recommended to have it replaced. Mga 4k daw aabutin yung replacement for a denso radiator. Buong radiator ba ang papalitan? Saan bang shop meron nito? meron bang nabibiling second hand nito? advisable ba ang segunda mano? tulong po please...

BTW car is a '99 galant super saloon.

yung leak po ay nasa top portion ng radiator. can this be bought separately? i was told marami daw sa banawe na nabibili na denso. can someone recommend a specific shop na reliable yet offers a reasonable price? how much is this going to cost me? medyo nakaka-assault kasi ang mga tao sa banawe e, parang mga bugaw. any help will be highly appreciated. salamat ulit!

pag 4k i doubt whole radiator yun. malamang top portion lang yan.

if your top portion is made of plastic, you can have it changed in Denso Quezon Av. P2500 for labor and materials for 2hours. palitan ng original Denso plastic top.

Alam mo ang style para di ka tagain sa banawe, canvass ka na di mo dala sasakyan mo para ang dating mo is di ka nagmamadali sa piyesa at ng di ka tagain sa presyo. Parang ang dating is napagutusan ka lang kunwari ng boss mo. That's my style, may style pa ako kunwari na pag naka discount na ako sa price, ipalalagay ko pa din kunwari yung unang price sa resibo na sinabi niya para ma refund ko sa boss ko kuno.

Dami surplus na radiator sa banawe lalo na yang model ng sasakyan mo, nagkalat ang radiator nian duon may kasama pang auxiliary fan na package. Mas mababa pa sa 4k ang presyo ng mga radiator sa banawe plastic man yan or metal.

Pag napagawa mo sa Denso yung top portion nian, im sure may bibigay na ibang part ng radiator mo dahil di na pantay pantay ang strength niyan. Lalabas talaga susunod na weakest link ng radiator mo. Consider the option of buying surplus, konting tiaga lang sa init ng panahon pag canvass ka. Pero kung may pera ka, sige go ka na sa Denso. Pero pag medyo tipid ka na hindi naman mako-compromise yung quality nung parts na bibilhin mo, consider the surplus radiators.

May suggestion pa pala ako, kung di pa grabe sira ng top radiator mo and kailangan mo magamit sasakyan, lagyan mo muna plastic epoxy na high temeperature. Meron sa DIY shop yan ask mo na lang sa kanila.

To give you an idea about the price, actually medyo mahal yang repair na P2,500 sa denso and P4,000 na price for a second hand radiator. Kakabili ko lang ng radiator ng Nissan Urvan ko. hamak na mas malaki yun kaysa radiator mo and it only cost me P5,500. Kay Yen (Nissan Specialist) ko kinuha yung parts, replacement parts na yun pero evercool ang tatak.

Another thing, may nabibili ng buong mukha ng galant mo sa banawe. Kasama fender, grilles, headlight, radiator and auxiliary fan. Puede mong ipa-katay yun kung ala sila available na radiator at sabihin mong radiator lang kailangan mo. Original pang Made in Japan makukuha mo na radiator.

i had the radiator checked at abacus west ave today, and they told me that denso doesnt have stocks available for the top portion of my radiator. a friend of mine recommended that i have the top portion of my radiator fabricated into "tanso". the mechanic at abacus said they can fabricate one out of copper and would cost me P4,500. ok ba to? is this advisable?
