Pabs Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 Hey all, Yeh I know, it's been covered a lot of times, but there seems to be a lot of different answers over a large-ish period of time, so wanted a more recent answer if possible. My Auto TT radiator has a tiny leak in it, which obviously is going to get worse. I need to replace it, but Toyota want a lot of money for a genuine one. I hear the names Golpher, PWR, Fluidyne, ASI etc appear, but am a bit lost as to which one is worth putting on the car. One thing to note is I plan on an auto-manual conversion in the future - but don't think this will make any difference in rad choice as if I get one with integrated auto-cooler then this will just be redundant when I convert - this won't have a negative effect will it? I don't see the point of buying external auto-cooler as I'd need to sell this when I go manual. Unless this would be a better option? Oh, I'm also BPU - but don't think that matters too much either. So folks - what is recommended for a replacement rad - to suit my car - and how much am I looking at for it? If you've got links to information I'd appreciate it too.

Chris Wilson Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 I have a special offer on rads at the moment and have just 2 TT ones left. High density core, total stock replacement EVERYTHING fits as stock, no gotchas, mods, clearance issues, different caps needed, et cetera. Have TT ones in stock, and N/A ones.

Pabs Posted May 13, 2008 Author Share Posted May 13, 2008 ok - probably going to go for the CW rad option..... I need to identify the rad in my car (core) so I know which one I need from him though. Still open to other recommendations tho! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DamanC Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 Golpher FTW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pabs Posted May 13, 2008 Author Share Posted May 13, 2008 more info please mate - price/source - auto cooler built-in? Somehow I doubt it's as good as CW's rads, but still interested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pabs Posted May 13, 2008 Author Share Posted May 13, 2008 EDIT: Ignore that - I searched (again) Auto-cooler IS built-in. Just need to PM some folks and find out how much they can do them for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JustGav Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 Err, Over flow pipe on the expansion bottle lid? I thought the overflow from the rad, but it goes neatly under the battery area up to the bottle.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaz6002 Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 he's not talking about the high-pressure rad cap that comes with ally rads is he? That would stress the rest of the cooling system... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
