Anyone know the best place to get a radiator for a good price? Mine is cracked and leaking slightly at the top. NOthing really serious, but need to replace it pretty quick.

how can you weld it. isnt yours made of plastic on the top?? mine cracked on the top plastic part a week ago and i got a new one from radiator.com. they have really good customer service and quick shipping. it came to like 150

Hey, Mine has some green build up around the connection, and the mechanic says I need to change it ASAP before it blows up, and wants $210 including labor ... Does it sound like he knows what's he's talking about??

build up around which connection? sounds to me you just have a crappy or loose hose clamp.

um, I bought a new one for like 135 dollars, and it took like 15 minutes to install, so unless you really don't feel like doing it yourself, you are going to get ripped off for that. And that is assuming you need a new radiator. If it is just loose, get a new hoseclamp or something
