Denso 221-3215 Radiator

This radiator is a great replacement for the OEM. It comes entirely assembled (transmission ports already installed) and includes the radiator cap. Build quality seems to be high. Everything hooked up easily and fit right the first time. I didn't need to modify anything. You will probably want to replace most, if not all, of the bolts, which are 6x16 metric bolts, with the exception of the one that holds the driver's side fan on, which will probably be 6x12 or even 6x10, with a washer on it. A 6x16 is too long for that spot and will put pressure on the plastic underneath it.If you don't know what you're doing, the best video I found online is Eric the Car Guy doing a 1999 Acura 2.3 CL (it's entitled "How To Replace a Radiator 1999 Acura 2.3 CL/Accord") on YouTube. It's very similar to an Accord, with a few differences. This radiator job is very similar to doing this era (98-02) 4 cylinder Accord (4 door EX, KA 4AT), but there is no relay up top, and instead wires clipped across the top of the fans in three places you need to disconnect (the clips will probably snap, but zip ties should do fine). You will also be relieved to know that the cooling fan (on the right, when you have it laying down in front of you) is only bolted in at the top, so there are two few rusted nuggets you need to fight, just the one on AC, and two on the transmission line, if you have an automatic. It's probably worth watching the radiator video on the 99 Civic he did for other relevant advice on removing destroyed bolts from the bottom of the radiator. I often wind up using tin snips to cut up the plastic on the old radiator around where the destroyed bolts are on the bottom.HOWEVER, if you have an automatic transmission, as I do, you will find "Pipe C (ATF)" is pointlessly there to connect one of your transmission cooling hoses to the radiator. If you live in the salt belt, as I do, you will likely find it rusted to hell, and perhaps in the process of rusting out, coated in transmission fluid. You may want to have the part on hand if you are doing this job. It is Honda part #25210-PAA-020. And yes, removing the hoses from the hard lines up top is the absolute only way to go.Final tip - you may also want to replace the power steering cooling tube, part #53765-S84-A01, which is another metal tube, this one running behind the radiator, and impossible to do without either removing the radiator or possibly the splash shield. Mine rusted out last summer, and was leaking power steering fluid.

This was pretty much an exact match to the original. The only thing I found different was one screw mount for the passenger side fan. The original had square nut inserts at all the fan mount holes but the new one had one hole that used an automotive clip instead. This made it just too far back to be able to get the threads started on the bolt in that location. It was an easy fix though - just take one of the washers off one of the old bolts and then it was just long enough. The only other difference was the radiator cap. The original was stamped 1.1 and the new one they supplied is stamped 0.9. I guess there was one other difference - the lower fan mounts for the passenger side fan are a little different than my original. They provided adapters so my fan worked fine and it only took a few seconds to install the adapters.Installed easily and had no leaks. Was packaged well so arrived with no damage.

It would appear that most of us who are looking at this product have radiator problems around the 20 year mark. Had a radiator leak with a crack that looked like it was from old age on a 2000 Honda Accord LX 2.3L. Fairly easy to replace. Couldn't re-use the coolant since I had the transmission fluid mix into it while pulling hoses. Also remember to use the stand-offs that are taped onto the box since it will float if you don't. Best thing about this kit is that you don't have to buy a radiator cap since it's already on AND the transmission hookups are already installed and tightned for you. Since most of us are dealing with a 20+ year old car, be careful with rubber and plastic parts. Luckily didn't have to replace any of them, especially the rubber coolant and transmission lines.

Bought for a 2000 Nissan Frontier with a 4 cylinder engine. Works good.

High quality denso radiator at a great price, and it comes with a new cap.

The media could not be loaded. This was a great fit for my 2002 Honda Accord SE 4 Cylinder Automatic ULEV engine. Good price compared to other places. Decided to try this Denso one. I recommend this one for the 6th generation Accord 98 to 2002. Took me and another person 3 hours to replace it and bleed all the air out. 🙃The only issue I have was with the packaging for the radiator, it wasn't package that well to protect the aluminum vent areas, some were bent. I fix and adjusted it with a small thin flathead screwdriver. Add more Styrofoam or something to cover the vents so it doesn't get damaged in transit.Time will tell if this will cause any long term issues. So far so good.

Used as a replacment for a 99 accord. Works great, easy install. Only downside is in my case one of the stock bolts and the included extended bolt was still too short for my oem fan shroud. Luckily i have a stash of bolts that i was able to get the right length from.

Perfect! Easy to install, and has been working great for many months now!
