Product Details
TYC Radiator 13253 is engineered for front-mounted applications on the Hyundai Accent and Kia Rio, with fitment covering 2012-2017 model years. The aluminum core, 48-tube layout, and 78 fins per 4 inches support heat dissipation in a compact radiator package. This unit also includes a transmission oil cooler with tube-fitting connections, making it a practical replacement when the original radiator integrates transmission fluid cooling. The TYC Radiator line focuses on replacement cooling components built around vehicle-specific dimensions and connection points, and part number 13253 follows that approach for these small-car platforms.
This part cross-references DENSO 221-9280 for the same application.
What It Helps Address
- Overheating caused by a worn or leaking radiator
- Transmission fluid temperature issues tied to a failed integrated cooler
- Coolant loss from cracked tanks or damaged core passages
- Poor heat exchange from clogged or corroded radiator internals
- Fitment problems when replacing the original Hyundai Accent or Kia Rio radiator
Installation Notes
Verify inlet and outlet hose diameters, transmission cooler line connections, and core dimensions before installation. This radiator uses hose clamp connections for the main coolant ports and tube-fitting connections for the transmission oil cooler. Confirm front-position fitment for the specific Hyundai Accent or Kia Rio model year before ordering. Part number 13253 should be matched to the vehicle’s original cooling system layout and transmission cooler configuration.
Quality Assurance
TYC manufactures replacement cooling components to match application-specific fitment and connection requirements. This radiator is built with aluminum construction and integrated transmission cooling provisions to support a proper OE-style replacement for the listed Hyundai Accent and Kia Rio applications.
