REPLACE ?
Even a skilled cooling system professional
can't work miracles on a radiator that's severely corroded or damaged.
The only solution is a new radiator, and the best solution is an
all-new Modine complete radiator. Modine complete radiators give you
the assurance of long lasting performance and efficiency. They're
completely new and are designed for your engine and performance needs.
Modine radiators fit perfectly, install quickly and easily and are
backed by a factory warranty.
RECORE ?
Some radiator problems can be effectively
solved with a new copper/brass or aluminum core. Recoring can bring
your radiator back to efficient operating condition using old tanks,
brackets and transmission oil cooler. Your cooling system professional
will help you determine whether recoring is a viable alternative. A
new core comes with a limited factory warranty, the reused parts
cannot be factory warranted against failure.
REPAIR ?
Minor radiator problems can often be
repaired, although you should be aware that repairing is frequently a
short-term solution to a long-term problem. Copper/brass radiators are
bonded with solder which can deteriorate and corrode. The newer
aluminum radiators are somewhat more durable, but are also more
difficult to repair. Plastic tanks on many newer cars present a
different set of problems, but in most cases can be replaced. For all
radiators, higher engine temperatures increase expansion and
contraction. Before risking failures and costly engine and
transmission damage, consult with a cooling system professional who
can advise you of your replace, recore and repair options.
