Just replaced a radiator (aftermarket) under warranty, but of course the body shop didn't put the foam pieces back on. (Not even sure if they had them.) I'm ok with that, since they did install all the Samco hoses I had laying around.
Does anyone have a template for these or can measure them up? I have tons of foam from Pelican cases laying around and can cut some myself.
What type of radiator did you replace? I replaced my oem with a csf and now its leaking everywhere :/
It's an OEM replacement, with a lifetime guarantee from an insurance company. I'm not sure the brand, but when I called the body shop, they basically said bring it in. There was no cost out of my pocket for replacement, (except the foam pieces that weren't there), except for the hours I waited. They also installed my Samco hoses, so I threw them a few $$$ cash.
They are an authorized MINI shop in the Chicago area, too.
It's a brand that makes an all aluminum radiator, as the factory one is plastic and aluminum.
That's where mine leaked, on a seam, where the adhesive holds the pieces together.
It wasn't OEM, but carried a lifetime guarantee. Lasted about 25K.
