Product Description and Specifications

The CSF 3702 radiator features a 5/8 inch thick aluminum core measuring 16 3/16 inches wide and 23 5/8 inches long, providing a solid surface area for heat exchange. The plastic tanks on either end are engineered to OEM standards, ensuring a proper fit and reliable sealing. The cross flow design allows coolant to move horizontally through the core, enhancing thermal efficiency. Both the inlet and outlet have a diameter of 1 1/4 inches, positioned on the left and right sides respectively, facilitating straightforward hose connections. This radiator is designed without a cap, so the existing cap from the vehicle should be reused.

Common Applications and Problem Solving

• Replacement for leaking or cracked radiators in Toyota Prius C models
• Addresses overheating issues caused by clogged or damaged cores
• Restores proper coolant flow with OEM-style plastic tanks and aluminum core
• Suitable for vehicles requiring a single-row radiator core
• Helps maintain engine temperature stability during normal and heavy driving conditions

Installation Notes and Tips

When installing the CSF 3702 radiator, ensure all coolant hoses match the 1 1/4 inch inlet and outlet diameters for a secure fit. Since the radiator does not include a cap, retain and reuse the original radiator cap from the Toyota Prius C. Verify the cross flow orientation aligns with the vehicle’s cooling system layout. Properly bleed the cooling system after installation to prevent air pockets and ensure optimal performance.
