ok my 89 accord lxi coupe is getting hot it has a crack in the top of the radiator a few inches below where the cap goes and it let out alot of water over the engine when I was driving today and the battery light came on and was flashing a little and I was wondering if this would be a good replacement http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/86-87-88-89-HONDA-ACCORD-2-0L-L4-NEW-OEM-RADIATOR_W0QQitemZ230010182271QQihZ013QQcategoryZ3 3602QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

save the money to spend on $3/gal gas.

I bought this one 4 months ago and no issues at all

Well a radiator can crack because the fans aren't coming on. Or the water isn't being pumped by the water pump.

Also if water isn't moving you can get false readings on your temp gauge, especially if the water/coolant level is low.


So check your fans and water pump because you'll just end up buying another radiator if you have either one of those problems.

Or worse you could get engine damage.
