The radiator is made with a mirror.

The new radiator that was sent was a mirror image of the original radiator. All radiator and transmission hose connections and mounting posts were on the new radiator; However, they were in the wrong places. This made it impossible to install in my car.

Pros
  • Automotive
Cons
  • For old

Doesn't match the cars it says on!

Good radiator. BUT! This is not suitable for the vehicles mentioned! Maybe the Amazon is to blame. idk returns it. Said it would fit a Chevy Malibu V6 LS 08 and the radiator needs to be reversed to fit the transmission mounts. what would work. when the entrance is down.

Pros
  • Radiators
Cons
  • Long wait

Great spotlight, great price.

I ordered this cooler and installed it myself on a 2009 Chevy Malibu LTZ with a 3.6 V6 engine. It has now been installed for over a month (at the time of review) with no reported problems. As far as I can tell this is a great product. Note. Just because I said "installed it myself" shouldn't be taken to mean it was easy. New cars are hard to work with and this one was no different.

Pros
  • Engine Cooling and Climate Control
Cons
  • -

Transmission Cooler Leaking

This Spectra cooler was a perfect match for a 2008 Malibu I was working on. A few days later I noticed an ATF leak in the front of the car. Transmission cooler leaking at bottom port. It's not coming from the line, it's coming from the fitting on the radiator. I tried to tighten the fitting but it is already tightened with sealant. I'll swap out the cooler as soon as the replacement arrives.

Pros
  • Replacement Parts
Cons
  • Not All Will Fit
