Radiator replacement
Hi everyone, new member here with a radiator problem. My 06 Mazda 5 has developed a coolant leak on the passenger side plastic radiator tank. I understand that I will have to replace the radiator and I was wondering if anyone on the forum has replaced their radiator and could share their expertise on the process. It's been a while since I've turned wrenches and I just wanted to make sure that this is a project that I can handle. Any input would be greatly appreciated!

Once in my time I replaced a radiator and broke it! The material was so thin, I couldn't get the bottom hose on. Meanwhile I learned that a little bit of lubricant helps.
I suggest you look at some Youtubes on replacing the radiator. I would rather pay a pro so I have someone other than me to blame if it goes wrong. |
So the plastic tank had a leak and that results in replacing the entire radiator? Did I miss something? Why cant the tank itself just be replaced?
