thermo switch???help 95 civic esi

[non-vtec]

i've got overheating problem...honda center diagnosis is i need to replace my thermo switch and radiator overhaul.
their costing is

thermo switch - 25oo
installation - 500

any more economical idea on where to find a thermo switch?
is this related to the thermostat?
where can i buy this part?

thanks!


i have a 95 honda civic esi model..

you can buy replacement thermoswitch at less than 1k. and evercool radiator at less than 4k.

they're related in a way coz the thermostat helps warm up the engine while the thermoswitch turns on the rad fan to cool down and maintain optimum operating temp.
