How Much Does a Radiator Replacement Cost?
A leaking radiator risks overheating — what does replacement cost? A Cranbourne West cooling specialist explains the factors.
What drives the cost
Radiator cost depends on your car (European radiators and those with integrated parts cost more), access time, and whether related cooling parts (hoses, thermostat, coolant) need doing too.
Pressure-testing first confirms it’s the radiator and not another cooling leak.
What the job involves
We pressure-test the cooling system, replace the radiator (and any failed hoses/thermostat) with quality parts, use the correct coolant spec, and bleed the system properly.
