Review on πŸŒ€ Efficient Cooling Fan Assembly for Honda Accord: TYC 620690 Radiator/Condenser Replacement by Dustin Keller

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Bargain Replacement

Radiator Fan died on my 2004 Honda Accord EX 2.4L I4. I bought it for $94.66 instead of having it replaced at the dealer (parts and labor would cost over $500). It took me a while to set it up because I ran into a couple of issues: 1. This part doesn't come with a bracket on the condenser fan needed to hold the wires. I had to remove it from an old part that had a rusty screw on it and it wasn't easy to remove. I also had to go and buy a new nut and bolt for it. However, the mount fitted the TYC mount perfectly. I just wish he came with it because it would save me a lot of trouble.2. TYC comes with its own reservoir, which is good, but the reservoir doesn't attach in the same way as the original part. I wanted to keep the original tank as I didn't want to mess around with changing the coolant. The original tank fits, but I lost the screw on the TYC part. Luckily, in my search for a screw in a previous edition, I found a screw that matches this one.3. I had to remove the radiator hose to install and remove the assembly. To remove the spring from the hose to move it I had to use pliers. I'm sure there are special pliers that make this task easier, but I wasn't too careful if you had to do the same. A couple of caveats: make sure the car hasn't been run for a few hours so things can cool down safely, and make sure there's a large (area, not volume) pan under the car to catch any spills catch. Also, buy some Honda coolant to top up the reservoir (to the max) after you're done. Overall very happy with this part. I just wish it had this bracket and the tank bolt hole was the same size as the original.
