What This Radiator Helps Address

• Coolant leaks from a damaged or corroded radiator
• Overheating caused by restricted coolant flow
• Cracked plastic tanks or weakened core seams
• Transmission fluid temperature control issues when the radiator cooler is part of the circuit
• Cooling system service needs on aging Nissan Sentra and Nissan 200SX vehicles

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the inlet and outlet locations before installation: top right inlet and bottom left outlet. This radiator requires a separate radiator cap, and the fan is not included. Confirm that the vehicle uses the correct transmission cooler routing before installation, especially on automatic-transmission applications. Always inspect hoses, clamps, and coolant condition during radiator replacement.

Quality Assurance

Spectra Premium radiators are built to meet OE-level durability expectations for replacement use. The CU1426M is manufactured with an aluminum core and plastic tanks to support reliable cooling system service in the specified Nissan applications.
