Just got my first real fault on my 2.2 auto CAMRY Had it new since 1995.
86.000 miles and radiator is loosing water some place. Its not a hose. But it can cope day to day if I run locally.I just priced a replacement from my Toyota dealer its GB£290 which = US$ 550.
A local company Advanced Radiators have a new replacement product from Denmark at GB£82 = US$156.
It looks fine, aluminium fins but plastic headers.
I have noticed an odd comment about using Distilled water when refilling system. However the info with this RAD suggests fully flush out with a hose. Is that a NO NO ?
I am replacing all hoses and stat at this time to.
The Refill from Toyota with RED anti freeze is £15.00 = US$ 28 for a 5 litre made up charge. Will that be distilled warter mix ? Does it really matter ?
Any comments on the Rads with Plastic rather that steel headers.
