About the radiator - Toyota Celica, 2.0L, 1991

My car has been parked for 5 days! On Tuesday, the upper radiator cap cracked, or rather it cracked a long time ago, even during the purchase I noticed that there was a crack in the cap and it was a little siphonite. However, on Tuesday, antifreeze poured out of the crack like from a steam locomotive. The engine heats up as soon as you drive less than 60 km / h, if the speed is higher, then the engine temperature is normal. :-))
I thought that I don’t care, I’ll change it, but it’s not so easy, or rather easy to change, but finding a radiator is difficult! There is nowhere in Kemerovo, in Novosibirsk I seem to have found it, but there the seller somehow did not confidently say that it was on my body, the engines are the same model, but there is some kind of crap in the body. In short, now my friend bought me this radiator and brought it to me. I look at the box and see: engines 3A, 4A, 5A, 7A! What the seller listened to me and where he looked when my friend gave him the documents for the car, I don't know, but I'm not very happy! We'll have to go to return the money! And look for a radiator!

I didn't tempt fate: I bought an original Toyota radiator in Vladik for 3500 and in 5 days I will have it!

The radiator has been coming to me for the third week! Horror, I got tired of waiting, I even had the time to complete the MOT over! Like on Sunday I'll go to meet my radiator! Even though I waited so long, I think the savings of 8,000 thousand rubles are worth it, we have an original radiator for mine costs from 11,500! Moreover, all this time I was on wheels!

Price tag: 3 500 ₽

I was in a similar situation, the upper tank burst on 182 selics, 3s-ge, on 241 machines! I installed a radiator from a long injection NIVA, remade the mount, installed screws and an additional radiator for automatic transmission from a simple copper tube 9mm in diameter! Good luck!

Yes, to be honest, I can bring myself any spare part from Vladik, and the original radiator costs 3500 there for mine, only to wait for delivery for about a week, and I want everything at once!

You have to pay for the mail, and they will bring me free! But again, it's 5 days to wait! In short, I found again in Siba a radiator for 3500, it seems exactly to mine!
