thermostat hole
Hey thanks, I didn't know that the thermostat has a bypass hole. I have not done the job yet but looked at a few thermostats online for this particular car and didn't see any bypass holes. I have heard of some thermostat having a hole and some don't. keeping the block drain cock open until i get coolant come out is agood Idea, i'll try that.
one more question ctscott since you seem to have lots of experience with these yaris cars, Is it a common failure for the Radiator to develop cracks on the upper section? on these cars I mean? Poor quality part from toyota or previous owner just put a used cheap radiator? The car is only 4 years old and I would think a radiator would last longer than that....hhmm? |

my 09, which was purchased new has not had any issues. Crashy (the snowplowing Yaris), still has its original radiator, which survived complete front end devastation. Crashy2 (the red one) has a junk yard replacement, only because the overflow tank was damaged (but the original radiator was still fine even with its front end collision). The only one with a leaky top was my latest acquisition of the one that I am parting out. It does have a leaky top end, but it also had the entire front frame section pushed 4" to the left and 3" up.
