What you should Know if Considering a Denso Direct-fit Radiator

In this video I cover a little issue to be aware of if you plan to install a Denso direct-fit radiator on the 2003 Accord. I omitted this issue on my earlier post; replacement of the radiator on 2003 Accord. This may apply to other Denso Direct-fit radiators.

The problem is with the left border of the radiator which isn’t flush with the top-left edge. On the OEM both top-left edge and the left border are flush. You will need to trim off about 0.5cm to prevent the radiator making contact with the anchor for the condenser.

    Thanks for your helpful videos.

    Please, where did you buy your Denso direct fit radiator from?

    I will be needing one soon for my 2003 Accord.

    • Thanks for the cheer. I got the radiator from Rockauto.com through a freight forwarder to avoid custom duty. I actually searched the local part markets but couldn’t get a used one in pristine condition. If you are in the US,no biggy.
