Denso 221 3213 Radiator Review

Made in China but very good radiator. For this price you don't get a "Made in Japan" like the original, except for the stickers and stamps. Be honest. Easy installation, fits perfectly. 6000 km driven, works perfectly. Will be updated if it fails

OE Direct replacement for my sister's Acura TL. Same brand and quality as Honda dealer (Denso is the original equipment manufacturer supplier for Honda and other Japanese manufacturers), but at a lower price. No fit issues. I have no hesitation in buying Denso parts for any Honda car.

This is a standard radiator, so it has the same dimensions and quality and is a good replacement for the original Accord radiator. It's easy to install if you know what you're doing and don't forget to replace all the grommets and place the clamps correctly. photos along the way.

The radiator was (almost) perfect. Everything is ok except for the installation of the transmission cooling line coming from the cooler. The factory had a steeper curve, making it difficult to line up the radiator lines properly. As it is, it would hit each other. It took some time to massage the fitting and steel lines to make sure they wouldn't rub against each other. It took a while but I finally figured it out. Otherwise everything else was perfect.

Fits exactly like the Honda OEM radiator that I removed. Comparing side by side, all the joints and attachments are the same, the corners of the pipes. I appreciate the factory kits and installed captive fan nuts which makes installation even easier. Aside from the sculpted Honda badge at the top and after removing the product sticker, no one would ever have guessed that it wasn't a Honda product. Filled with Honda coolant and sealed with original hoses and clamps. Excellent value for money and

I have a 2000 Honda Accord EX V6. It was an exact, and I mean exact, replacement. All you have to do is drain both the coolant and transmission oil from the old radiator, unclip the wiring harness (in 3 places, one of which is hidden on the passenger side), replace both fans with the new radiator and reinstall ensure there are no leaks. My coolant wasn't that old, so I just collected it in a clean container and reused it with some distilled water. You'll probably need about 0.25 liters of Honda

I just received this radiator from stock and installed it on a 2001 Honda Accord ex v6 3.0L. Two days later I noticed that the gear oil was empty and I just added 3.5 liters. Same problem occurs again and I couldn't find where it was leaking from as I didn't notice anything from the coolant line hoses. The lower radiator coolant lines appear to be the culprit although they have been tightened fairly well and the transmission to the coolant hoses is fine with the clamps tightened. Eventually the

Denso is OE for my '99 Acura TL so I figured it wouldn't be hard to replace my 17 year old radiator with this. Functionally, it works as intended, but the quality and fit are not the same as the Honda original. It's made in China, not Japan. The radiator cap fitting in my plastic reservoir is bent, causing my radiator cap to be about 15 degrees off-center. Also, the top pins that go into the radiator mounts are too small. This causes the heatsink to wobble too much and not be securely attached…

Perfect. I'm not very mechanical by nature, but I saw a video posted by another buyer on this site and decided to give it a try. Quite easy. In the picture I have about $400 against a "pro". $74 vs $200+ for the radiator. $0 vs $300 for work. Ok to be honest I spent $10 on a beer to make things easier. A few tips: 1) Make sure you reassemble/reuse the rubber grommets that hold the cooler on the base rail (not included with Denso spares). 2) Buy and use $10 hose clamps if you don't want to lose…
