The radiator is a cross-flow type with an aluminum core and plastic end tanks. The radiator uses brazed aluminum tube technology to reduce weight. A low temperature zone is located at the top of the radiator and provides cooled coolant for the transmission fluid cooler.
The radiator is located in the vehicle by serviceable locating spigots and supports integrated into the end tanks. The supports are installed in rubber isolator bushes in the lower support bracket. The upper mounting of the end tanks is via a cross-strut attached to the vehicle body.
A drain plug is integrated into the bottom of left end tank. Coolant outlet and inlet connections are incorporated into the left and right end tanks respectively. The right end tank also has a connection for coolant outlet to the transmission fluid cooler and to the auxiliary radiator.
