Hi all
Another common problem I wasn't aware of until it happened to me...6cm vertical crack in plastic LHS of radiator, coolant leaking.

Happened to notice low coolant before any overheating, needed to top up in both reservoirs. Very temporary patch with epoxy.

My question is whether or not this (link) is a good deal and the right part to buy? I've been warned off generic, unbranded eBay rads.

Cheers

Is that really a Denso? If so looks to be the same thing as Denso 221-3144 that's what you want as close as you will get to walking into a Lexus dealer. Also search Denso 221-3144 on Ebay.

Thanks. The code will be useful. But you're asking if it's legitimate due to the price? It's pretty cheap for a denso.

The site seems legit. For the 400h They also have NRF brand for 89 euro, Valeo for 117 for and Nissens for 134.

Should I stick with the denso? I read the quality isn't what it used to be.

From what I have read, All Denso Radiators are made in China, even the ones that you get from the dealer, Toyota started doing this several years ago, Google it, so apparently aftermarket radiators should be good Quality Especially if Toyota is outsourcing from China
