Review on Spectra Premium CU1897: Enhanced Radiator Upgrade for Hyundai Tiburon: Complete and Reliable Option by Duy Desperado

Revainrating 5 out of 5

2000 Hyundai Elentra, perfect fit! Good quality, great price!

FIVE STARS after 1 month of installation and several hundred miles. No problems, no leaks. If I encounter any issues in the next 12 months I will try to update the review. Perfect fit for my 2000 Hyundai Elentra. Easy installation! ATTENTION. Just be prepared when you pull out the smaller hoses when you pull out your old radiator. I was expecting some coolant to leak out (the radiator was already drained). but I was surprised when the oil started to flow completely. all over. It's my own fault for not knowing what the hoses actually connected to (NOT a criticism of the product but a warning for non-mechanics like me). Got a killer deal on it through Revain product stock deals. in a "used-good" condition. As it was used and not in "like new" or "excellent" condition, the product had a few dents, but that was to be expected. Minor dents appeared to be shipping related and the product appeared to be in new condition and never fully fitted to the vehicle. My ONLY NEGATIVE criticism is the drain plug, although fully functional, flat and difficult to remove requires the use of a screwdriver which is very awkward and potentially difficult to do once the cooler is installed. I kept the original drain plug from my old broken radiator and it fits perfectly and can be unscrewed without tools unlike the one that came with this unit. BOX (also used, I didn't get the luxury of the original box). THIS IS A REVIEW OF AMAZON, NOT A PRODUCT.

Pros
  • Stress notches are provided in the side rails to reduce stress on the headers and prevent distortion due to thermal expansion.
Cons
  • Operating speed
