Thanks for the video! Trans cooler nipples "broke" on my daughters MDX, beckoning replacement.
Your guidance was spot on! One thing to add, the right side (Driver's side) fan isn't bolted in at the bottom, it rests in two pilot holes. Also, by removing the steel line (again, for the Transmission lines) from the bottom of the radiator, that would provide a little more ease in removal (tight space between a/c coil and top beam).
Thanks again, very helpful!
My hood latch won't lock and the hood latch switch is connected
Question i had a so call "mechanic" take out the radiator on my Acura mdx 2006 . very similar to the one in this video. But the so call "mechanic" end up cutting a line that he should had not cut. Now looking at this video it look like the bottom line in the radiator. I order a new radiator and it does not come with that line. How is it call so i can order it. If you can help it would be appreciated
Great video.
I am doing an MDX tomorrow. I have done several Pilots and it is a little bit of a pain because of all of the little things to be moved or removed. It pays to use a quality radiator. The one in the 01 MDX I doing tomorrow literally exploded at the top tank by the cap. The hole is about 6 inches long and the radiator was replaced less than a year ago. I may want to get a new cap just in case that caused some pressure not to bleed off.
You do quality work bud! Keep em coming.
Not that bad looking of a job.
This comes in handy because I have a 2006 Ridgeline with the j35 V6
Lots of MDX's on the road, should be a helpful vid!
