As someone already wrote Hit the radiator (c) - Toyota Corona, 2.0 l., 1993

A long time ago, ugh, no, not that.
Once it froze in our NSK sharply from +2 to -15 per night. I started my own autostart, went out I think right now in a warm sit., But it was not there. The pope is warm and the climate control has not yet turned on the stove, although the engine is warmed up. What is it? In general, I turn on my hands to the full +30 in the cabin, like it blew out.
The next day, the same crap ...
What the hell ? (again I forgot that the climate of Japanese women is demanding on the level of antifreeze in the radiator).
I ask my friend: - what the nafig?
- Have you checked antifreeze?
It was here that doubts took over me ... I
looked, and there my mother had no antifreeze, and in the tank there was already a minimum of 2 days -15.
I drove to the garage, refilled (ml. 200-300).
Everything is normal (it also evaporates, especially in winter, and even fluid).
I drove home, the level seems to be normal, but I added a little more (it will still go to the internal combustion engine). I feel something hissing on the radiator, but I thought that the snow is falling and turning into water (and that's why the radiator is wet, in the dark you can't see what color).
In the morning, having driven off from the parking lot, I saw that there was a green hole in the snow, I realized that the antifreeze was running.
Adding 2 times went to work and then to the garage.
I found a crack in a plastic tank 5 cm long. From there, with a heated engine, antifreeze goes, it does not go into the expansion tank, because there is no pressure and the plug closes the opening of the expansion tank.
The chief is all gone (c).
Runs fast enough through this gap.
I read a lot, understood - there is no point in repairing, it is necessary to change.
There is no money contagion if not at the time. I tried to smear with sealant, it's useless. Yes, people say, even if you smear it with welding, it will still flow.
I started to call the NSK offices with a contract.
Prices are within 31xx.
What didn’t impress me ... to give 3100 for the contract, and it’s not clear how long it still passes.
Calling RBR-auto, I was offered for 2000. Well, I think, at least not so expensive, and I don't care what the contract is.
I decided to take it.
Arriving, paying, I get the box well sealed, clean. Well, I think to what extent our service has developed, radiators are transported in clean boxes ...
They open it in front of me.
Hmm ... clean outside, the tank is as good as new. I can't understand, was it removed from the new crown? ;) Duc they seem to have not been released for almost 15 years.
I look on the side of the box with a label - "Made in China".
And then it hit me - it's a Chinese duplicate.
Well, really, do not give it back. Took away.
Why didn't they tell me that this is a duplicate, xs. Maybe because I didn’t ask, and because they sell Chinese buduplicates together with contract parts.
And now it doesn’t matter, I don’t care if China is new.
In general, I calmed down, and already bought antifreeze.
Will be the first Chinese spare part in my car.
I'll put it, unsubscribe;)
