Detailed Description of Radiator 13135C

This radiator from Global Parts is tailored for the Kia Soul, featuring a robust aluminum core that measures 16.25 inches in height, 18.88 inches in width, and 0.63 inches in thickness. The aluminum core ensures efficient heat transfer, helping maintain optimal engine temperatures under various driving conditions. The plastic tanks provide resistance to corrosion and reduce overall weight.

The inlet and outlet diameters are precisely sized at 1.38 inches and 1.4 inches respectively, ensuring proper coolant flow and compatibility with the Kia Soul’s cooling system. This radiator does not include a radiator cap or thermostat, so those components must be sourced separately if needed.
