04 cobra issues?
I recently bought my 04 cobra with 11k mileage on it in july, its now september and it has 12800 on it. Last few days the car has been spewing out coolant. When I first got the car it had a very tiny leak from the radiator...tried to get the dealership to fix but they brushed me off. So now there is a whole lot of coolant coming out the top i think, im not quite sure...anyway was wondering if anyone has had or heard of issues like this?
Thanks

My friend had that problem with his 01 eclipse but he had 128,000 miles on it and drove the hell out of it. I couldnt imagine a cobra with such low miles on it. I work at a body shop and i cant even tell you the defective radiators we get from after market companies and even from oem companies we still get defective ones. What i would do is buy a new oem radiator (make sure there are no visible signs of abuse , etc). I just changed my coolant on my 03 cobra and it has 82,000 miles on it and my radiator is fine. I even flushed it from the radiator, hoses, and block. Good luck to your problems.

just get an aftermarket one dont bother with oem honestly...also i dont believe in radiator flushes i have seen countless times that it destroys stuff such as the thermo stat or the radiator...also you must fill from that cross over tube or else you car will over heat with air pockets

Intercooler or heat exchanger? Intercooler is under the supercharger, the heat exchanger is mounted in the front bumper. Its confusing to people new to cobras so just checking which one you want advice on.
