rxdude330

Thank you Firehorse, that by far is the most helpful suggestion I have received. I called Lexus they want almost $1000.00 to replace with 1 year warranty. I found one at JC Whitney for $170.00 with 2 years warranty (Plus if I pay $35.00 extra, they will give me life time warranty). The latter sounds much better deal to me and cost half the money. Its tempting go with that, but if keeps on breaking on me, I may have to consider just selling the car.

I am not sure the mechanic put it, it may not have been OEM part, just a replacement part. The part was CU2689, possibly made in china

Thank you for the post. However, This is definitely a coolant leak. I can see red tint at the bottom of the car. My mechanic tells me there is a leak in the radiator. However, as I mentioned in my post, the radiator is only little over 2 years old with 12000miles. I guess I have to trust this mechanic since I am not knowledgable in automobile mechanics. It is infuriating that radiator leaked after just 2 years. So I just wanted to know if there is a better brand that will last a long time. Thank you

My Lexus Rx330 (2004 with 54000mile) apparently had a radiator leak. The mechanic put a new one in November 2013 (cost me almost $1000). Now July of 2016 (66000), little over 2 years and only 12000 miles later he says its leaking again and of course it is out of warranty. Not sure what to do at this point. I just can't keep on replacing Radiator every couple of years. Can you guys help me out.. and tell me is there is any particular brand better that the other. Thanks
