    As a person that has been involved in the design of engine cooling systems, you really should make every attempt at putting those "Baffles" back into place. They are used exactly as described to get the air flow proper through not just the Condenser, but the Radiator as well. I have seen 20 and 30 degree temperature changes due to not having those baffles into place. In most cases this isn't a huge problem, but it is something to be aware of. Most of the time these are engineered into meet a certain specification. GREAT video, you made this look so easy!

    Thank you for such a great video, I just finished replacing the radiator on my 99 Acura and it went fine following your directions. I really appreciate your time teaching us and giving us the courage to do it. Thank you a lot, God bless you and your family.

    Found this video after my 98 TL showed the same leak on the radiator, super helpful in determining that’s the problem. 98 3.2 TL with 230,000mi and original radiator, so not too bad considering it’s 20 years old. Thanks for the video!

    Hey Eric, maybe it could help you in the future, so I am sharing this with you. I have acura 35rl from the same vintage and I also had to replace the radiator few months ago. My approach about the fans was to leave everything attached to them and unscrew them from the radiator. I did it like that, because it was very frustrating to remove the plastic brackets for the cables. I thought it would be more difficult to pull the radiator afterwards but it was even easier! Nothing catching on the tcs valve etc etc etc. Keep the good videos coming!!

    • @jakubpolomsky

    • @ericthecarguy
      @ericthecarguy  10 лет назад

      There are lots of ways of doing this. Given that I was an Acura tech for 8 years, this is the method I found that works best for me. Thanks for your input. BTW as stated at the beginning of the video, this information will apply to your vehicle as well.

    @georgeheri895 10 лет назад

    @speedytech7 10 лет назад

    Good refresher for sure. I'm just about to replace the radiator in my 98 Maxima. Turns out both the cap and the rad are original and the top tank on the rad is leaking under pressure. Already replaced a rad in my father's 02 Maxima so I doubt I'll find anything surprisingly different. Still shocked that my 95 Tacoma is on the stock radiator though.

      @bantz001 10 лет назад

      Critique: I really like that it's just you again filming, no offense to your camera guy, Brian. One reason I loved "Survivorman" was Les Stroud's take on filming without a crew bringing reality to a situation. In your case, seeing you hit the roadblocks of DIY repair as most of us experience them and explain your way through is the attraction to your channel. The GoPro shows what you're looking at quickly and quite accurately. However, the lack of stability as you switch around and go to look for a tool or struggle with with a fitting does leave for queasy viewing which is typical of GoPro videography. Good luck, and keep the dirt coming!

  • @Mak933
    @Mak933 10 лет назад

    On my 99 Accord, my radiator lasted about 14 years. Pretty darn good if you ask me. I did the radiator replacement job myself, but I cheaped out and purchased a $100 aftermarket radiator, instead of the OEM at $350. Seemed like a good idea at the time, but the problem is that the aftermarket radiator started to leak (in the same spot) after a year. The leak isn't terrible and I only need to top it off about once a year, but it's still very annoying.

  • @moneygeewtee
    @moneygeewtee 10 лет назад

    Was there a new camera added to your stock? Not referring to the GoPro, but the angles where you were either facing the camera or when the video showed a side view via top side. Looks very clear, seems even clearer than usual. Either way nice video. I can add this to my list of saved vid's to refer to when I need to do the same repair for my Acura Legend. Take care.

    As always have to watch your latest uploads. Go pro is interesting perspective, but i had to turn it off halfway through as i get terrible motion sickness. Post stabilization might fix part of it for me, though I don't think i still could handle as much horizon shifting (unavoidable with head set go pro). Changing camera views from fix point camera to headset would be fine for me.

    I replaced the Acura’s radiator, thermostat upper and lower radiator hose about three years ago... no problems. Recently it over heated and I noticed the fan actually melted and the fan fuse popped. Now I’ve installed a new motor for the fan but they only kick on if the ac is running. They don’t kick on at operating temperature with the ac off. I believe it maybe the relay. Do you know which relay controls that and how to test them?

Its an old car so is there any way i could just move the radiator back and slide out the condensor? or would i have to go through the entire process of removing the radiator to get it out? I dont want to break more things working on it. And do you think it would be difficult or something i can do on a saturday afternoon? thank you so much!

Radiator flush? Or change the radiator , I've never had any overheating problems with this car so......HELP
