Acura Vigor Radiator Replacement (Long Version)
This is the ‘long version’ of the Acura Vigor Radiator Replacement video; it contains additional footage and information that the short version does not. This is a step by step video of the replacement of a radiator in a 1993 Acura Vigor. Since they only made these for 3 years, the process is the same for all 3 years. In fact this video will also work for the 95-98 Acura 2.5TL. The process is pretty straightforward and well within the capability of the DIY. There are quite a few harness connections and mounts that can make the job challenging however. With the methods shown in the video this shouldn’t be much of an issue.
