Constructed with an aluminum core and a PA189 plastic tank interface, the unit balances lightweight strength with resistance to warping. Critical dimensions and port diameters are supplied to help confirm fitment: core thickness 3\/4 inch, core width 23-5\/8 inch, core height 14-9\/16 inch, inlet and outlet 1-5\/16 inch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWill this radiator fit my Corolla, Matrix, or Vibe?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, the PHILTOP CU13106 was built for 1.8L models of the Toyota Corolla (2009–2013), Pontiac\/Chevrolet Vibe (2009–2010), and Toyota Matrix (2009–2013) assembled in the USA or Canada.
