Product Details
TYC Radiator 2446 is engineered around the listed fitment for 2001-2003 Mazda Protege and 2002-2003 Mazda Protege5 models equipped with air conditioning.

- Physical damage to the radiator core or tanks
- Reduced cooling performance in a Mazda Protege or Protege5 with A/C
Installation Notes and Tips
Verify vehicle fitment by year, model, and A/C configuration before installation. Confirm hose clamp connections, transmission cooler line routing, and radiator dimensions against the original unit. Flush the cooling system and inspect hoses, clamps, and coolant condition during replacement. For Mazda Protege and Protege5 applications, compare the original radiator layout to TYC Radiator 2446 to ensure the integrated transmission cooler matches the vehicle setup.
