Engine radiator Denso or KOYORAD

This happened to my 4Runner recently. New denso radiator from Rockauto was $150.

This specific spot fails on almost every subaru radiator i have worked on.

If you are lucky KoyoRad still has their sale going, I just got an aluminum radiator from my 97 legacy for $180

I put a Denso radiator in my wife's car.

It was packaged very well and arrived completely undamaged. It was a perfect fit.

The radiator you could go OEM or NVA, but Koyorad is proven solid also.

For your turbo Baja, [Koyorad](https://ebay.us/m/yadARd) is the creme de la creme.

You should absolutely fix, but $900 is steep from the quoter. Buy a quality rad (denso, nissens) and have it installed by a competent mechanic for $300 max.

I went with a Koyorad radiator from rock auto and then I also replaced the inlet and outlet hoses with OE. A new OE radiator cap, too. Subarus are fairly sensitive to cooling system parts, so for any mechanical bits (cap, water pump, thermostat, etc) I highly recommend spending on OE.

Just dealt with the same thing with my AP1. The plastic to metal seam fails eventually and causes the leak. I got the Koyorad OE replacement and it was around $100 and took an hour to install.

I just installed this Denso 7 years ago, won't pay for that again.

I ordered a Denso radiator from RA earlier this year. Took my old radiator out of my truck before opening the new one (rookie move, I know). Well one of these fittings was bent/broken on the new one. Called every car parts store, mechanic, and radiator shop within an hour drive and no one had one. Someone finally pointed me towards a hydraulic shop and I had to have a guy there machine a new one for me. Been working without an issue. It was just crazy to me how difficult it was to find such a simple fitting.
