Hello!

[Fit Sport, 07]
I am having an issue with the radiator 'spluttering' the coolant and I'm sure its a combination of a hose failure and the 115°F weather. I was able to limp along by putting some coolant in but this time it's not working. Judging from the info I have been given, it's either a radiator hose, or the radiator itself. I had max coolant in the res. tank but after a couple of minutes of use (and a tow) I checked and confirmed i had lost 3/4 of fluid. I will post pictures in a moment as it's easier to type on my PC than on my phone. I couldn't see any cracks/holes due to the mess.

Does anyone have any good instructions / videos on how to replace the radiator and hoses (and the thermostat as I was told to replace that too), and if there are any reputable places to get the parts? The one I found had a different front even though it said 2007.

Thank you in advance!

Here are some shots of the hose/radiator area

 

Have a look on rockauto.com you'll probably find everything you need there:

 

I haven’t had a chance yet but I did use them before for my driver side window pulley system. (But that part broke within 2 years lol)

is denso the parts that Honda uses?
