I am attaching a number of documents from the manual that will help with replacing this, but I assume you mean you are trying to find a replacement part.

If that is the case, I am attaching the part number below as well and it appears there are some websites that have the radiator for less than $200.00.

So please take the part number and perform a Google search and you should find some options online.

Please let me know if this is not coming up and I will see if I can help with a link. We just don't like supplying links for two reasons. First, the link may not remain active so we will have a link to an incorrect website in the future. Second, I may have looked it up wrong and don't want you to buy the wrong part because I did that.

Thanks

Hi,

Are you trying to find a replacement radiator or the radiator under the hood? As far as location, it is at the front of the engine compartment and behind the front grille.

I attached the best pic I could find below. The arrow at the bottom points to the condenser. On the other side of the condenser and below the radiator support is where the radiator is located.

Let me know if this is what you needed.

Take care,

Joe

See pic below.
