How To Replace a Radiator 1999 Acura 2.3 CL/Accord
It’s actually quite common for these radiators to fail this way so if you own a Honda of this vintage I’m sure you’ll have to replace a radiator at some point. As the title says if it’s an Acura 2.3 CL or an Accord this procedure will work as they are both pretty much the same vehicle. Also as pointed out in the video probably the most critical part is to make sure you bleed the air out of the system properly. If you don’t bleed the air properly you can get a fluctuating idle, intermittent overheat, inconsistent heat, and possibly a water sloshing noise from the dashboard area. Be sure not to skip this important step anytime you open a cooling system to avoid these issues. Here are some links that were mentioned in the video.

The Spill Free Funnel has been improved by adding an extra 45 degree elbow, a 5” extension, and a new E adapter. The E adapter is used on the surge tanks on many Ford applications. 45 degree elbow allows use on radiator caps that are placed at an angle. Extension allows access to caps located under shrouds or in fender wells.
