WOW AGAIN, this car is a PIECE OF SH*T. The radiator at the top part where it is plastic. A hairline crack develops along the front of the top plastic top of the radiator. That would be the part that connects to the entire aluminum unit. This plastic piece is also where the hose attachment is located. This is the second radiator that just cracked on its own. I replaced it with a salvage part because I didn't want to sink more money into this piece of sh*t (see black paint & transmission failure complaints). It is just not worth it. I am now using a two part glue from the auto part store. It holds for a bit but then leaks slowly.
