Sharpie Posted February 24, 2006 Share Posted February 24, 2006 I'll double check my paperwork for the part number too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boomer Posted February 24, 2006 Share Posted February 24, 2006 No idea if it helps the discussion or not, but here are some picks of the same area of my j-spec TT. I seem to have a similar gap and there is also no bolt / hole on the top of the bracket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Posted February 24, 2006 Share Posted February 24, 2006 You must've had a replacement rad too Boomer, yeah? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AntD Posted February 24, 2006 Author Share Posted February 24, 2006 Well I'm going back to the garage today.Gonna ask the guy exactly what details of my car he gave when he ordered the radiator.If he has to refit and wants to charge labour again I'm not going to pay again.If he doesn't want to refit it should I stop his cheque[not something I'd like to do] and get it sorted on my own and return the radiator to the shop?

Soonto_HAS_soop Posted February 24, 2006 Share Posted February 24, 2006 My auto rad is certainly different to the pic of John A's auto rad. Seems like the earlier non-VVTi cars have a single Aux elec fan on a metal bracket whereas the later VVTi cars have two smaller elec fans and a quite different bracket. My money's still on Ant having been supplied a facelift rad by mistake. (or rather a rad from a VVTi, I guess the facelift but non-VVTi Supes had the earlier style rads) Mine's a facelift non-vvti and I do not have that bracket, I checked this morning.

Sharpie Posted February 24, 2006 Share Posted February 24, 2006 New Radator T16400-46320 thats what it says on my bill from Toyota Cheers Ian Yep, same part number here for my new one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AntD Posted February 24, 2006 Author Share Posted February 24, 2006 I can't bloody believe it.Apparently Toyota now don't want to take the radiator back from the garage:rolleyes: and they won't let them order another one in exchange.So now its up to me to order one myself,geez.I've arranged with the garage to get a refund on Monday by cheque.I'm just concerned that they won't keep their word and wonder if I should wait until that cheque clears before I buy the right radiator. Anyone wanna come and help me fit my radiator once I get it:D .The garage have offered to fit it,but I don't trust them working on the Supra anymore:( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AntD Posted February 25, 2006 Author Share Posted February 25, 2006 I'm in Liverpool near the Safaripark.If it sounds that easy I might as well have a go myself,thanx anyway.They've put different coolant in ...about 4l.I suppose if I drain the radiator I could just put some red stuff back in or do I need to flush the whole system??

JohnA Posted February 25, 2006 Share Posted February 25, 2006 ...I suppose if I drain the radiator I could just put some red stuff back in or do I need to flush the whole system?? whole system, thoroughly. Do not mix and match Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AntD Posted February 25, 2006 Author Share Posted February 25, 2006 OK mate,will do.Ordered the rad from Toyota today.Had to pay 50 odd pounds surcharge which they will refund once I give them back the old one.They said it should be in stock by Wednesday,but I'm working all week and will prolly only pick it up early Sat morning:( .At least I can order my Greddy Titanium racing exhaust now as I've just accumilated some funds.Would anyone go for something different in the same price range?Gimme your views before I order it tomorrow/Monday. Now...back to that bottle of rum tehee:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AntD Posted March 4, 2006 Author Share Posted March 4, 2006 Just finished fitting my new genuine Toyota radiator myself.Thanx to CJ's manuals I had the courage to do it myself as it seemed pretty straightforward in the manual.I can't believe the amount of bolts the garage hasn't put back in when they worked on it.They even cut the lower shroud below the main fan.There are loads of bolts sheared off and missing from the undertray now.Must admit I sheared off two from the undertray myself:D .Anyway all seems well now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
