Suggestion

It's actually not that hard to do yourself if you are handy, but dealing with the anti freeze part does kinda suck (and then refilling should be done using a vacuum fill system).

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

5 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Greetings! Any guess on the replacement cost for the front radiators on a 996? Starting to leak . . . Anyone have this done at the dealership? Thanks!

POST 2Original post

about $300 for the part and any additional parts (figure $100) - I would guess about 2-3 hours shop time.....guessing so that puts you $6-800 range

POST 3Original post

You can get a new radiator at Sunset or Sonnen Porsche for $240 (plus tax + ship), just looked this up the other day. It's actually not that hard to do yourself if you are handy, but dealing with the anti freeze part does kinda suck (and then refilling should be done using a vacuum fill system).

POST 4 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Thanks guys-you got me looking around a little. Radiators for the wide-body are, unfortunately, more like $500 each, but I appreciate the replies.

This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
