Another vehicle the rad got low and the stream pretty much melted the top where it connected to the hose. New rad was on backorder and I needed a car so I cut the melted but off at a clean angle and attached a chunk of ABS pipe using high-temp JB weld which I reattached the hose too after it set. I regularly checked it over the next 1-2 weeks until the shop got a new rad in and had no issues.

Pros: no issues
Cons: rad got low

I replaced my radiator several times, always due to corrosion at the bottom edge where brine accumulates. Last time I replaced it for Valeo and for sure it had same design as your "new", which is a stamped aluminium sheets stuck on cylindrical piping. So far so good.

Pros: stamped aluminium sheets
Cons: corrosion at bottom edge

Worked well on my Valeo radiator, let it soak 10 min and a lot of very brown water came out. No leaks, cools better.

Pros: no leaks, cools better

Rating 1.5

My first new car was an ‘82 Toyota Celica. I put 3 radiators on that car within 10 years. The OEM radiator had a copper core and plastic tanks, held onto the core with a crimped clamp all around. I don’t think that they paid much attention to expansion rates and coefficients of expansion of different materials when they designed these, and the seals would eventually give out and begin leaking.

Cons: seals give out, frequent leaking
Vehicle: Toyota Celica
