Spectra Premium CU13609 radiator for the 2016-2017 Hyundai Elantra 4-cylinder 2.0L and other vehicles passes engine coolant through its core so heat can leave the engine. Its structure and design are built for the same durability and expectations as the OE.
Overheating or coolant stains under the car can point to a leaking or clogged radiator, but a thermostat, water pump or cooling fan can cause similar signs. With the engine off and cool, look over the tanks, seams and fins for wet spots, cracks or bent fins before you decide.
It is a direct-fit replacement radiator for the 2016-2017 Hyundai Elantra 4-cylinder 2.0L and the 2018-2020 Hyundai Elantra GT 4-cylinder 2.0L. One radiator goes in each car.
