Carlos, would like to say THANK YOU 🙏! ! ! My 2007 Hyundai Tucson 2.7 liter had a crack in the radiator. I normally would have just taken it to the shop and be done with it. Let them deal with it and then pay whatever they wanted to get it fixed. But after watching your video , I thought I can do this.. I bought the part from my local auto parts store put your video on my iPad and looped it... after taking the radiator out , I found out the radiator I ordered was the wrong one! Make sure to order the radiator with MANUAL A/C .... my bad, but after a quick trip back to my local auto parts store to remedy the situation I got back at it. It took me half of my Sunday to assemble everything together. I added a half and half of antifreeze, burped her, ran the heater and a/c , drove the car up and down the roads for 30 mins and she stayed cooler then ever before. Thanks Carlos! You the Man!
Thanks buddy- really helped. The only problem I had was the two bolts that hold the AC condenser to the radiator were not accessible through the small body panels. But after removing the fan assembly and unbolting the radiator, both pushed back enough to get enough clearance for a small socket to get at the two bolts and separate the the two. Thanks again.
Awsome video single mama here needing to replace my radiator and flush shop wanted to charge me 800 so i have decided to do myself to avoid spending that much during this hard time! Definitely confident i can do this after watching your video
Nice video, will definitely come in handy! Since you spoke so much about the antifreeze, I’d add that you shouldn’t leave it around cause pets like to drink it. Keep covered:)
@@carlosthemasteroftrades5070 replaced the radiator today a few things took a while to do but got it done. The vehicle is normal temp when parked and idling and the fan kicks on but when you go to drive it then it gets hot pretty fast. I am thinking i may have a stuck thermostat. Do you know where the Thermostat on a 2007 is located? i was thinking maybe on the engine side of the large lower or upper hoses maybe? The vehicle is an hour away and I have to go back tomorrow. Also do you know if i will have to get a new gasket? Thanks in advance :)
The little flap infront of the coolant reservoir that covers the condenser bolt, how do u het that off to expose the bolt for the condenser..tried to remove top plastic clip but that cover still wont budge
I tried to video the best that I could. I don't have a production crew behind me, it's a one man show... I'll try better next time. Thanks for comment, don't forget to like, share and subscribe.
Hey we have the same car but we have an issue that it get over heat it did twice and the car drain water but we didn’t find any holes the mechanic man said he found one hole but it seems likely it’s from company not a damaged hole no it’s like the car designed this way but till now we don’t know where the water comes out from do you have any idea could help ?
Few theories here, depending on the location of where the water is dripping from:#1- If it looks like the front part of engine- it could be your water pump. Looks around belt, pullies, etc. #2 If it looks to be falling around the side of the engine, left or right, it could be a gasket or seal around the engine.#3 If the car is smoking at the tail pipe or has a sweet smell with some water coming out of tail pipe, you need a head gasket. Check your oil dip stick for gummy, slime like substance mixed oil and water. #4 Check front buttom heater hose coming from radiator to engine. That's your main feed into engine.#5 Check front top heater hose from engine to radiator. This is where your thermostat is located. Could be a bad thermostat or hose is damaged. #6 If it's in front of vehicle near or around or button of radiator. Then it's your radiator or connecting hoses or lines. #7 If you are overheating and no leaks or missing coolant. The system is stopped up : could be the thermostat not operating correctly. Your fans are not cooling effectively, Water pump not working. Soon and on.....
@@carlosthemasteroftrades5070 thank you so much we will tell the mechanic man what you told us, but now the car has a problem with gear transmission, the shifting link broken and we need to change the whole Gear transmission Overheat damaged this one, we own this car two months ago only
Price for radiator can vary from $60.00 to $250.00 online aftermarket or original parts.. Usually about 2-4 hrs labor depending on vehicle. Add another $30 to $60 shop supplies,(coolant, hose clamps, etc.) Shop cost= $300- 700.
Carlos Vazquez Thanks for the information. I just ordered the radiator and have your video saved for when I try to take on this project. Thanks for posting it!
Carlos Vazquez I was able to do the job myself thanks to your video. I won’t say that it went off without a hitch, because I am not mechanically inclined but I was able to do it and all for under $100.00. Thanks again!
Replacing the radiator does not have anything to do with your a/c. Completely different system. The radiator keeps your engine, transmission (second coil at front) or even a 4wd from overheating. The only thing I can suggest, is that you check to see if maybe you mistakenly disconnected something electrical from the a/c system and now your a/c compressor is not cutting on. I have another video on a/c recharging. Check it out so you can see some of the components that have to do with your a/c. Let me know if I can help!
what he calls transmission radiator is actually an ac condenser. i don't know how you can confuse them but the author of the video does confuse them. you disconnected the metal lines which go into this second radiator (ac condenser) and all freon got out. now you need to charge the ac.
@@andrdarovskih thank you, because I have never heard of a trans radiator. That makes a lot of sense. No shade to the author because it's still an awesome vid. Thanks bro.
@@andrdarovskih So it's not necessary to take off the AC condenser hoses? And if I do happen to take them off, that then will require me to regas the AC? Have I got that right?

@@codywatt7775 the thermostat is located at the end of the upper heater hose. Gasket should come with new thermostat package.

The little flap infront of the coolant reservoir that covers the condenser bolt, how do u het that off to expose the bolt for the condenser..tried to remove top plastic clip but that cover still wont budge
How do you replace the electrical connector to the radiator fan
are the transmission cooler lines interchangeable?
You skipped all the parts people need to see but yeah cool video 😢

I need that upper transmission cooling line, where did you get it?
It came with radiator. (A1auto.com) both lines came in package.
Thank you I appreciate the response.
I'm sure they are available at any auto parts store also... not as cheap as online thou.

What brand radiator did you use I have a 2005 tucson gl 2wd I can't figure out which one to get theres so many options
Depends on your budget, but even the cheaper ones are decently made.
For a 2005 Hyundai Tucson 4cly 2.0 does it take a DDC OR HCC Radiator?
Carlos, what's a rough estimate of how much it costs for this replacement?
Price for radiator can vary from $60.00 to $250.00 online aftermarket or original parts.. Usually about 2-4 hrs labor depending on vehicle. Add another $30 to $60 shop supplies,(coolant, hose clamps, etc.) Shop cost= $300- 700.
Do it at home under $200 (depends on brand of radiator)
