Let’s clarify upfront—this isn’t just a random “metal piece” near your Chery FX’s radiator. It’s the
radiator’s upper right structural & sealing core: a precision-machined component (typically made of durable aluminum or reinforced plastic) mounted exclusively on the upper right corner of the Chery FX’s radiator assembly. Serving as a dual-purpose part, it bridges the radiator’s core with critical
cooling system components while stabilizing the radiator’s position in the engine bay. Its core job? Secure the radiator to the vehicle’s chassis, seal the upper right section of the radiator to prevent coolant leaks, and provide a connection point for hoses or sensors that regulate coolant flow. Without it, the radiator may shift during driving, suffer coolant loss, or fail to maintain proper operating pressure—leading to engine overheating.
This upper right radiator component is tailored specifically for the Chery FX—always confirm your vehicle’s VIN to ensure a perfect match! It’s engineered to fit the FX’s radiator dimensions: its mounting holes align exactly with the radiator’s flange and the engine bay’s bracket (no forced installation), its sealing surface matches the radiator’s upper right edge (leak-proof fit), and its connection ports sync with the FX’s coolant hoses or sensor wiring (seamless system integration). Opt for a generic part? You’ll face issues: mismatched mounting points (causes radiator wobble), poor sealing (leads to coolant leaks), or incompatible ports (blocks coolant flow or disables sensors).
It’s a small but critical link in the Chery FX’s radiator setup—here are 3 key roles it plays:
Radiator fixation: It bolts the upper right corner of the radiator to the vehicle’s front chassis bracket, preventing movement or vibration during driving (which can damage the radiator core or hose connections).
Coolant sealing: Its precision-machined sealing surface forms an airtight barrier with the radiator’s upper right section, stopping coolant from leaking out and air from entering the system (air bubbles reduce cooling efficiency).
Component connection hub: It provides a dedicated attachment point for the upper right coolant hose (directing hot coolant into the radiator) and may integrate mounting spots for temperature sensors (which send data to the engine control unit to adjust cooling).

This 501001902AA upper right radiator component only works for the Chery FX—wrong fit = cooling system failure:
Installing this part involves coolant handling and precise alignment—DIY risks leaks or engine damage:
Prep safely: Techs let the engine cool, disconnect the battery, drain some coolant (to avoid spills), then remove the old component by unbolting it from the radiator and chassis.
Mount the new part: They place 501001902AA on the radiator’s upper right edge, align the mounting holes, bolt it to Chery’s exact torque specs (too loose = wobble; too tight = cracks), then reattach the coolant hose/overflow tube.
Test & refill: They refill the cooling system with Chery-recommended coolant, start the engine, and check for leaks around the component—ensuring no coolant seeps out and the radiator stays stable.
Inspect for leaks monthly: Look for coolant stains around the component’s connections—leaks mean a loose bolt or worn gasket (fix immediately to avoid overheating).
Check for cracks yearly: Look for cracks in the component’s body (from impacts or heat). A cracked part can’t hold the radiator—replace it fast.
Tighten bolts quarterly: Engine vibrations can loosen mounting bolts. Recheck and tighten them to keep the radiator secure.
Protect from impacts: Avoid hitting curbs or debris—damage to the component can shift the radiator and ruin the cooling system.

Exclusive to Chery FX (confirm via VIN), this is a durable aluminum/reinforced plastic part mounted on the radiator’s upper right corner. It fixes the radiator to the chassis, seals the area to prevent coolant leaks, and serves as a connection hub for coolant hoses and temperature sensors.
It won’t fit other Chery models, non-Chery vehicles, or FX with modified radiators. Install by certified techs; maintain by checking for leaks/cracks quarterly. Only the original ensures proper fit and cooling system stability, avoiding engine overheating.
