Replacing radiator on '05 Civic?
A good friend of mine has an '05 Civic that the dealer says needs a new radiator but they want $800 for it. I told her I could do it for her but I don't know if it's a straight-forward procedure or if there are any "gotcha's" in it, and an internet search only gave me procedures on older Civics.
Does anyone have any experience, tips or places I could look before I agree to doing this? Thanks! BB.

It is as simple as radiator replacements get. You should be able to get a radiator for under $150 for a civic.

Rock Auto has Koyos for $158. They have cheaper ones but I figure it's worth going with a brand I've heard of.

It's not still under warranty? If not I'd ask Honda (HQ) for "goodwill" to be extended to her.

Nope, it's not, but that's a good point. I'll run that by her. I am surprised that it died so quickly. Even my 944 did better than that!

That is vey young for a radiator. Even my jeep did about 10 years before needing one, although that was an AMC jeep.
