Detailed Description

TYC Radiator 2812 is engineered for Subaru Forester cooling system service where a replacement radiator must match the original layout and connection style. The aluminum core, single-row construction, and integrated transmission oil cooler support proper coolant and transmission fluid heat management in the 2004-2005 Subaru Forester. This part number is also referenced as Subaru 45119SA010 in interchange listings, and the TYC Radiator line is positioned as a direct replacement category for radiator service work.

With a 1.54 in. inlet and outlet diameter, hose clamp connections, and tube fitting transmission cooler ports, this radiator is built around the OE-style fitment profile for the Subaru Forester. The core and header measurements help match the factory packaging requirements while maintaining the cooling capacity expected from a replacement radiator.

What It Helps Address

• Overheating caused by a failing or clogged radiator
• Coolant leaks from aged radiator tanks or core damage
• Transmission fluid temperature control issues in automatic-equipped vehicles
• Reduced cooling performance from corroded or restricted radiator passages
• Fitment problems when replacing the original Subaru Forester radiator

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the inlet and outlet diameters, transmission cooler port style, and overall core dimensions before installation. Transfer and inspect related cooling system components such as hoses, clamps, and coolant condition during replacement. Confirm that the vehicle is a 2004-2005 Subaru Forester and that the radiator configuration matches the original downflow layout.

Quality Assurance

TYC Radiator 2812 is built to match the listed OE-style fitment and interchange references for the Subaru Forester cooling system application. Confirm all measurements and connection types against the removed part before installation.
