If you're diving into the world of car maintenance, you’ve probably heard the term OEM tossed around a lot. Let me break it down for you in real terms. OEM, or Original Equipment Manufacturer, parts are the real deal when it comes to keeping your ride in top shape. Here’s why they matter:

  • Perfect Fit: OEM parts are made by the same folks who built your car originally. This means they fit like a glove—no awkward adjustments or hacks needed. Whether you’ve got a Porsche 986 Boxster or a 996 GT3, using these parts keeps everything running smoothly, just like when it rolled off the assembly line.
  • Built to Last: You want reliability, right? OEM parts are known for their consistency and durability. Manufacturers put serious R&D into these components, ensuring they hold up over time. You’re not just buying a part; you’re investing in the longevity of your vehicle.
  • Easy Peasy Installation: Ever tried to fit a square peg in a round hole? That’s what using non-OEM parts can feel like. With OEM, the installation process is straightforward. Mechanics love them because they just work. You can save time and hassle, getting back on the road faster.
  • Quality You Can Count On: These parts go through some serious testing. They meet the manufacturer's standards, so you know they’re built to perform and last. When you choose OEM, you’re not just getting any random part; you’re getting something that’s designed to keep your car’s integrity intact.

Now, if you’re looking for specifics, this particular radiator, the 7044 CSF Radiator, fits a range of Porsches like the 986 Boxster from ’97 to ’04, the 996 C2/C4 from ’99 to ’05, and even the 996 GT3/GT3 RS from ’04 to ’05. So, if you’re replacing your radiator, this is a solid choice that’ll fit right in without any fuss.

In short, if you want your car to perform like it should, stick with OEM parts. They’re the best way to ensure your ride stays reliable and true to its roots.

Take care of your radiator, as under circumstances listed below the warranty will be void.

If the radiator is installed and is returned deformed (bulging tanks, warped core etc.), this is an indication that the radiator is the victim of some other problem and not the cause. The deformation is a result of the radiator being subjected to extremely high pressure and or temperature caused by any of the following reasons:Defective Pressure Cap, Defective Head Gasket, Defective Temperature gauge (incorrect readings), Defective Water Pump etc. Such units are not covered under the warranty.

If a radiator seems to have a “fit problem” there is the possibility that there is some confusion about a multi-fit radiator that might look different. Your nearest CSF WD can clarify the application, just give them a call. A perceived fit problem is not covered under warranty.

If a unit is damaged in shipping, please file a claim with the carrier. Damages caused during shipping, installation or handling are not covered under warranty.
