HammoWRX Posted November 23, 2016 Share Posted November 23, 2016 Hi all, there is a leak between the black top plastic piece and the metal part of my bugeye's radiator. Does that mean a new radiator and how much should a genuine Subaru one cost? Are aftermarket ones any good ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fastboy67 Posted November 23, 2016 Share Posted November 23, 2016 I replaced mine with an ali one from japspeed. The fit is perfect and it keeps the temp down better than the original due to it being larger. Think I paid around £120 ish very reasonable I thought. My original rad had a similar problem to what u describe. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HammoWRX Posted November 23, 2016 Author Share Posted November 23, 2016 Really appreciate the advice, are Mishimoto any good (as I've read some bad reviews about leaks) because my local garage will fit one for under £300 or want £600 for genuine Subaru. Not sure whether buying cheap means buying twice? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fastboy67 Posted November 23, 2016 Share Posted November 23, 2016 I looked at the mishimoto rad and it worked out at nearly £300 just for the rad. Japspeed was over half the price of mishimoto and pretty straight forward to do myself. Took about half an hour to swap over. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
