Share on social networks:
My first new car was an ‘82 Toyota Celica. I put 3 radiators on that car within 10 years. The OEM radiator had a copper core and plastic tanks, held onto the core with a crimped clamp all around. I don’t think that they paid much attention to expansion rates and coefficients of expansion of different materials when they designed these, and the seals would eventually give out and begin leaking.
Cons: seals give out, frequent leaking
Vehicle:
Toyota Celica

That era of Toyota radiator top tank did do this. My one split across the top instead of where yours broke.
Cons: split across top

Another vehicle the rad got low and the stream pretty much melted the top where it connected to the hose. New rad was on backorder and I needed a car so I cut the melted but off at a clean angle and attached a chunk of ABS pipe using high-temp JB weld which I reattached the hose too after it set. I regularly checked it over the next 1-2 weeks until the shop got a new rad in and had no issues.
Pros: no issues
Cons: rad got low
Shortly after owning it I had to replace radiator, Dan shroud. Then my power steering rack and CV died. Just recently my master break cylinder just died
Pros: love it
Cons: not a cheap car
Vehicle:
Toyota Land Cruiser

I replaced the aging radiator in December. It went smoothly, everything came apart and went back together as the Toyota Gods intended.
Pros: went together smoothly

I did change a radiator on my Previa few years back. It's more of a maintenance thing (if you ask me). Any car of that age will most likely have a bad radiator/ or clogged up radiator.
Pros: maintenance thing
Cons: bad or clogged radiator
Vehicle:
Toyota Previa
