CRAPPY RADIATOR
Hello guys, yesterday I was taking a ride with my family on my 2008, 150k kmts yaris advance, and I decided to cut short the ride beacuse heavy rain, when I got home I park my car backwards, so I had to cross in front of the car to get to the house, and to my surprice when I passed in from of the grill, something burn my leg, it was a leak from the radiator...
![]() And yes, it drain all the water from the engine in few minutes, and glad it happend in my house, and I notice it, other wise I could of start the engine with no water, and since this nice cars have no temperture indicator, just "before burnig" light who knows what could of happent. But when I called the dealer today to find out the price, beacuse sometime they have good prices, the said $ 800.00, you have to be nuts ![]() And as you can see, man, itīs such as nice plastic thing. The hole is in the front left bottom of the fins, son was not in a part that you can repair. Only visible when the water was getting out. I got a replica, that fitted just like the original one for $97.00 and have replaced for $80.00. Itīs disappointing to have this failing so early !!! |
