Hi guys.. I wonder did anyone of you here had replace the radiator top casing (resin)?

Mine is getting yellowish which is a sign of fatigue and might be prone to crack sooner or later.
*
Better replace it before crack
Mine had it replaced after it crack when i travel at LDP
Luckily manages to drive into a parking lot and leave there overnight till the next day my friend bought a new radiator come and replace it

Is it the top black plastic part bocor or the aluminum fins area bocor?
*

I read from radiator specialist, they recommend to replace the top & bottom resin cover instead of replacing the entire radiator panel. The price to replace resins vs the entire radiator are about the same.

However, they said the replacement radiator aluminum material are less or I would say lighter / not as thick as the original. That is the rational for it.
*
If the Radiator not rusted so just replace the top & bottom fiber resin will do else if rusted then better replace the whole unit before the cooling fins started to have cracks due to rust .

Mine is silver too too. I think it was covered in grime till it become black. I only notice it’s silver when DIY clean it.

Maybe different batch different color
for now the aircond wasn't that cold on hot days , need to plan one day send for flushing old gas and oil then only ask the foreman to inspect the whole system .

when was your last service?
few months ago i also complain
i flush the gas and foreman said put in UV dye for leak, till now no UV dye see at engine bay.
it improved so i didn't proceed with other aircon services.
and then i DIY clean the condenser myself then viola its much much better.  laugh.gif
*
My last service also back in Dec 2019.
usually i DIY clean off the condenser with multi-purpose cleaner to wash off the grimes from the road to ensure better cooling

I think waterpump no need.. This thing won't cause the car to be stranded on the road. Wait until its bearing fail then only replace.

genuine Showa honda parts with 1year warranty
I replaced blower motor fan, cooling coil and condenser drier. Other cost are involved flushing aircond system, refill with genuine denso compressor oil, refill air cond gas, servicing and cleaning condenser, cleaning air blower housing and redo all the sponge mounting
