Anybody else have the top of their radiator housing crack? I smelled coolant while driving around today, but saw no signs of dripping. Took off the plactic cover over the top of the radiator and found a hair line split in the housing about 6 inches long that's slowly weeping coolant! I'm beyond the 60K mile warranty.
Well I guess from the lack of responses that it's not a common issue; I'm the lucky one with the lemon :3_saai:
Picked up an aftermarket radiator for $172 shipped and in stock. The best discount Hyundai price I found was $250 and had to be special ordered. It was a direct replacement and fit perfectly.
Yeah, I had the same happen about 6 months ago. Hairline crack right below the rad cap. Bought an autozone radiator, new stant rad cap and low temp thermostat, coolant, and water wetter for about $200. Everything was a direct swap...the new rad even came with fittings.
Arghhh!! same thing happened to me today too!! wtf..lol driving around, smell antifreeze...look under the hood and seen it spittin out antifreeze from a hairline crack right under the radiator cap...grrrrr RIGHT BEFORE DROPFEST....and i have like 250$ for spending at this car show..now im gunna have none!! Boooooo
Mine came apart at the crimps up top and we bought a new one from ebay for $60 shipped.
