its a good thing i love my new legend so much..... How much does a new radiatior cost? what would it cost to have a shop put one in for me? should i go new or find a used one at a junkyard? I am in no rush but i would like to get this done soon, i hate having to worry about my when or if my car is going to let me down.

about a hundred bucks on ebay, is your life worth less than that?

used radiator is a NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO!

get yourself a brand new Koyo Radiator, and 2 gallons of honda blue.

its a 30-1hr job to replace it yourself, and flush, fill and bleed the cooling system.

let us know if u need more help.

It only takes about 45 minutes to replace the radiator yourself. on ebay radiator cost about 100 bucks. dont pay no shop for this, they will charge you a arm and leg. good luck

honda blue runs 10-20/per gallon. call AoA for the coolant. (search for acura of augusta to find the number)

Honda coolant is about $11 at the dealer, get 3 or 4 gallons and buy an OEM Acura thermostat while you're at it. Might as well do it while you have the radiator out.
