aluminum radiator...

previously i did mentioned i had overheating issues if maintain speeds above 140kmh rite??... i guess the problem should be my old radiator stuffed with rust inside... hence causing blockage which prevent heat from being dissipated away...

i bought myself a thicker aluminum radiator from omels... costing Rm190, the price is rather reasonable... plug and play as well...



i also took this opportunity to change a few items...



JASMA silicone radiator hose...



new radiator fan motor...



1.1 bar radiator cap...

first step is to remove the whole radiator unit from the car... disconnect the radiator fan wiring and radiator hose... allow rusted water to drain away from the engine block...



old radiator out from engine bay...



dismantle the radiator fan housing from the old radiator... need to reuse the housing...



install back new radiator fan motor, new fan blade, fan switch sensor, casing and silicone radiator hose to the new aluminum radiator...



install back everything in reverse order into the engine bay... fill up with new toyota long life coolant and top up with RO water... do not use pipe water as it has iron residue inside which promotes rust in the new aluminum radiator...



so far tested speed 170kmh no indication of overheating... as i'm using thermostat, temperature will always maintain at normal temperature...
