2006 B9 Tribeca Replacement Radiators

Featured Replies

Hello new to the forum. Just over a month ago my wife and I bought a 2006 B9 Tribeca Limited. Anyways, the other day I noticed the engine was getting a little hotter than usual and checked the coolant reservoir and it was empty. I topped off the radiator fluid (had to add a lot it was quite empty) and after that it went back to normal temperature. When I got home I looked under the car to check for leaks and noticed the coolant was dripping from the splash guard.

 

So I'm pretty sure it's the radiator as the bottom near the foam is wet, I'm renting a pressure testing kit just to verify exactly where the leak is coming from though. Anyways, I was looking online for a replacement radiator and I was wondering about any of these brands on rock auto:

The Denso and TYC parts are pretty inexpensive (compared to auto parts stores which only have a radiator which costs around $257-350). Any other suggestions? I don't want to spend too much but I don't want to get something that's likely to fail again any time soon.

 

 

Denso makes alot of good quality electrical parts for these cars but I haven't eve tried their radiators. Was thinking of ordering one for my girlfriends car, which also split the radiator at the beginning of the week.

 

TYC is a well known afternarket collision parts company. Headlamps, bumpers, radiators, header/cowl panels, trunk lids, hoods. They make a lot of stuff that never quite fits properly. I'm not too impressed with the stuff I've seen from them.
