Radiator Question - 6G Celicas Forums

Topic #50920 2 posts Started by Jlacker3
Hey guys, I'm looking into getting a new one as mine has a leak in it and my car is probably due for one (218k). Silla Aluminum radiators are right in my budget and read that they are really good. I was wondering if anyone could tell me a good site that they bought theirs from online. I know that you also to have a different one for the Automatic.

I'm just going to take it up to my local radiator shop when I get it and see how much they'll charge to put it in. It shouldn't be that much should it?

Thanks!
Cant answer your question about where to buy online. Try running a search on Google. Jeggs or someone of the other large corporations should have it.

The differences between an Auto Radiator and a Manual Radiator are the connections at the bottom of the rad. The auto transmission has hoses which run into the radiator at 2 points on the bottom. If you have a manual and buy an auto rad on accident just cap off the bottom ports.

As far as putting in a radiator. If you are capable of properly draining a system, replacing fluid and using a wrench you can do it yourself.

Flush the system first into a bucket and properly dispose of said liquid. Unbolt radiator and remove fans +fan shroud and reattach to new radiator. Reattach all lines, replace any that look really worn. Fill system with 50/50 prestone or whatever you choose to use.
