I was stumbling around on the web to try to get the approximate cost of a
radiator replacement repair at a shop when I found your video. I watched
it and was stunned at how easy your work has made it for others!
Incredible attention to detail on your part! I did mine in under 2 hours
(far less time than it took me to replace the heater core a year ago). So
thanks again!
with a help of a friend, i was able to do the switch down to the letter.
everything worked just like the way it should work. thanks for the video.
was very helpful. did i mentioned i saved $$$$$ just doing the work myself
(with some help of course.)
I LOVE YOU
I should have read further. I see that you already answered this!
NW2002, I am in the middle of replacing my radiator, thanks to your video.
I noticed that when you first started the car, you had the radiator cap
off. Was there a reason for this?
purchased my replacement radiator today and will be getting after it
tomorrow morning, brilliant video, thank you so much. GO TOYOTA 🙂
You’re very welcome. The band aid actually lasted a few days, I was
surprised… 🙂
Awsome video. Our97 camry has 260000 miles radiator has a crack top seam.
Thanks for your help. God bless. P.S how long did the band aid last HA HA
Just a fyi. Leave the fans on and pull the radiator out as a full assembly
which will make it easier to transfer all the equipment over.
Not a problem, I am glad to hear your radiator and the fans work fine. If
your gauge still fluctuates like that… when was the last time you had
replaced the thermostat? If it’s been a while, you might want to consider
doing that.
Yes I did that, the fans come on and off . But the temp gage goes up closer
to the red before the fans click on. I have been driving the car with the
heat on. runs normal, with or without heat. I think my problem is air
bubbles in the system. I check the radiator and have had to add fluid.
Nothing is leaking. I really wanted to thank you for your reply. your video
was most helpful.
Thanks for posting, used your instructions to change my own radiator, first
time and went great. Truely helpful.
I would check all electrical connectors. And run it for 15-20 minutes, it
can take a while for the fans to kick in. Keep an eye on the coolant
temperature gauge though.
I did the radiator and the fans are not working. What did you do?
I haven’t worked on a 1996 Camry but I believe the process is very similar.
You should be able to do it after watching this video.
THAAAAANNKKKK YOOOOOUUUUU!!!!
Thanks so much, this helped me alot and you truly are a Great Teacher and
explained everything well…Thanks and God bless..
As long as you installed the coolant temperature sensor where it’s supposed
to be, you should be fine. If the radiator doesn’t have a drain valve,
you’ll just have to disconnect the bottom hose if/when you need to drain
it. Not as convenient as the drain cock but it works.
Check all electrical connections that you had unplugged and make sure they
have been properly reconnected. And how long did you run the engine for? It
usually takes 10-20 minutes of idle time with the heater on for the fans to
kick in.
nice clip mate , very helpful
1996 was a different model Camry and I haven’t worked on one of those… I
would assume it’s probably similar though.
how would you know if your fans are not working properly?
I haven’t worked on a ’94 but I believe it should be similar.
Also leaving the hoses connected to the rad and disconnecting the other end
may have been easier as well.
Thanks guys
Me too. Leave the fans on. Swap them out of the car then reinstall the
raditor with the new fans on.
Would this video work for a 94 Camry as well?
Good work only i find it easier to leave the fans on and lift the radiator
out before removing them- – it’s so much easier…for me at least 🙂
Thanks so much!! I just replaced my radiator using nothing but some tools
and this video.. and I’ve NEVER done any auto work before. This video
totally saved my ass! (and my bank account) lol
Thank you very much. Funny, I had the exact same problem on the exact same
car. Made my day so much easier. Take Care.
Really great help, thanks for taking the time to do this.
Thank you for making this video!!!
Thanks so much :)))) going to try this later on later on today
Thanks for making this video. I have the same thing going on with mine. I’m
replacing it today.
so… this isn’t very applicable to a 96?
Good question. Because when you start the car, the coolant begins to
circulate and you will most likely need to add some. It takes a couple of
minutes for it to start warming up and you want to make sure you put the
cap back on before that happens.
very good job thank you.
