If you're looking to keep your engine running cool, the CSF radiator is the way to go. Seriously, I've used a few different brands over the years, and CSF stands out for good reason. They’ve got a massive lineup with over 3,200 different models, so whether you drive an Acura or a Volkswagen, they’ve got you covered. It doesn’t matter if your old radiator is Copper-Brass, Plastic-Copper-Brass, Plastic-Aluminum, or all Aluminum—CSF has the right fit with the same quality materials as the original equipment.
What I really appreciate about CSF radiators is their build quality. They’ve been in the game for over 50 years and have sold more than 30 million units globally. That’s not just a number; it means they know what they’re doing. These radiators are designed to meet high-performance standards, and they go through rigorous wind tunnel testing to ensure they can handle the heat. Plus, they’re all 100% leak tested before they leave the factory, which gives you peace of mind when you’re out on the road.
The construction is pretty solid too. You’ve got OEM specified Plastic Tank-Aluminum Core construction, and the tanks are made from virgin-grade engineered plastic resins that are glass-filled for extra durability. The gaskets are made from special grade EPDM rubber, which can withstand extreme temperatures—up to -120°F! That’s a lifesaver in harsh conditions.
Now, let’s talk specs. This radiator is a crossflow type with a single row design. The core length is about 25 9/16 inches, and it’s 17 inches wide with a thickness of 1 1/4 inches. It features a high-performance multi-louvered design for the fins, which is the heart of the radiator. When it comes to installation, you’ll find the inlet on the upper driver side and the outlet on the lower driver side, both with a diameter of 1 1/4 inches. It’s straightforward to fit into various models, including:
One last tip: when you’re swapping out your radiator, don’t forget to check the old pressure cap for wear and tear. It’s a small detail that can save you a headache down the line.
Overall, if you want a reliable radiator that won’t let you down, give the CSF a shot. It’s built to last and designed for performance, so you can hit the road with confidence.
