Radiator replacement - Toyota RAV4, 2.0L, 1996
Winter, -35 drip-down regular radiator plowed 15 years. It was decided not to put the original one. Put AVA Cooling. AVA specializes in the production of sports car radiators. This manufacturer has been successfully tested on Impreza and other high-speed cars. The price is lower than the original.
Before installation, the entire cooling system was flushed from deposits and deposits.
After driving a drift, the fan turned on 4 times and then in the parking lot after 5-6 laps at a speed of around 5000. Riding for about 5 hours drained almost the entire tank. The radiator has not leaked, the temperature is stable. I was not mistaken in the choice.
Price tag: 5 000 ₽

how does the radiator go?
I set myself the same, I thought for a long time what to put
