Reviews of OEM Toyota engine radiator

I got done years ago for a polished aluminium radiator in a 1985 4th gen Celica.

My first new car was an ‘82 Toyota Celica. I put 3 radiators on that car within 10 years. The OEM radiator had a copper core and plastic tanks, held onto the core with a crimped clamp all around. I don’t think that they paid much attention to expansion rates and coefficients of expansion of different materials when they designed these, and the seals would eventually give out and begin leaking.

Bout to hit 300k tomorrow on my 2012 and I’ll I’ve ever replaced is the radiator and a transmission sensor. All the pulleys are oem

No, the best radiator is Toyota OEM it can last over 25 years.

That era of Toyota radiator top tank did do this. My one split across the top instead of where yours broke.

Another vehicle the rad got low and the stream pretty much melted the top where it connected to the hose. New rad was on backorder and I needed a car so I cut the melted but off at a clean angle and attached a chunk of ABS pipe using high-temp JB weld which I reattached the hose too after it set. I regularly checked it over the next 1-2 weeks until the shop got a new rad in and had no issues.

Shortly after owning it I had to replace radiator, Dan shroud. Then my power steering rack and CV died. Just recently my master break cylinder just died

I can't believe your Tercel blew a rad. That was the most bulletproof car I have ever owned. It made me a life long toyota car owner

I replaced the aging radiator in December. It went smoothly, everything came apart and went back together as the Toyota Gods intended.

I did change a radiator on my Previa few years back. It's more of a maintenance thing (if you ask me). Any car of that age will most likely have a bad radiator/ or clogged up radiator.
