Review on πŸ”₯ TYC 2389 01-06 Hyundai Santa Fe 2.4/2.7L L4/V6 A/Mt 1R Pa Rad - Efficient Engine Cooling Solution by Stephen Doyle

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Exact Fit - Identical to Hyundai OEM

***UPDATE*** 07/26/21: Although the car is no longer in daily use, the radiator still works with no sign of failure. The OEM unit failed after eight (8) years and the TYC replacement has been in use for seven (7) years. The processing quality is therefore the same or even better than the OEM device. Buy with confidence! ***END OF UPDATE******First review to follow*** Purchased to replace the original Hyundai radiator in our 2006 Hyundai Santa Fe GLS 2.7L V6. It developed stress cracks in the upper pelvis and began to lick. The leak was very small and was hidden under the radiator core support, making it very difficult to find. At best, a few ounces will spill in a week; However, the smell is a clear indication and proof of a catastrophic production failure. The replacement TYC arrived in a few days, well packaged and in excellent condition. The comparison showed that it was an exact match to the original Hyundai unit (at a fraction of the cost). When replacing, take the time to flush the AC condenser and remove accumulated road debris, grass, leaves, and bugs. , small birds and mammals not lucky enough to be on your historical path. This increases the cooling capacity and the overall efficiency of the entire system. Removal and installation were typical of this type of work. In fact, the Hyundai engineers did an excellent job designing the mounts and such, so the whole process is actually quite easy if you're mechanically inclined. It took me about 2 hours from start to finish and that's mostly because I have OCD, deleting everything and putting it back in place. I highly recommend this product.
