The radiator uses hose clamp inlet and outlet connections, with inlet and outlet diameters sized for the listed applications. This part cross-references Spectra Premium CU2784 for the same application.

Compatible with 2004-2009 Kia Spectra and 2005-2009 Kia Spectra5, this radiator supports the factory cooling configuration and includes the transmission oil cooler assembly where required by the vehicle platform. The TYC Radiator line focuses on replacement cooling components built to match OE-style fitment and system layout for common import applications such as Kia Spectra and Kia Spectra5.

Common Cooling System Issues It Can Address

• Leaking radiator tanks or core seams
• Restricted coolant flow from internal corrosion or blockage
• Transmission fluid temperature control concerns in equipped vehicles
• Overheating caused by a damaged or inefficient radiator
• Cooling system service needs after age-related wear

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the vehicle’s year, model, and transmission cooling setup before installation. Confirm hose clamp connection sizes, core dimensions, and cooler line routing against the original radiator to ensure proper fitment. Always inspect hoses, clamps, and coolant condition during replacement, and flush the cooling system if contamination is present.
