Radiator replacement
Hi
Tried searching on this topic but can't find the info I am looking for.
My question is what are the deference between the withe towing and without towing radiator. From what I gathered so far w/o towing the core is 5/8" and w/towing the core is 1".
Is ther any other defiance & are they interchangeable. Because if it is interchangable I will go withe the 1" as the UAE is a hot place most of the year.
Today was reletavly cool at 45 c (113 F). A week I got 50 c (112 F) and my car dos not display more than tant. A Frind of mine got 60 c (140 F) on that day 😭.
Thanks.

Hi sgretchko, no issueshear it’s not the coolant that I need it’s the radiator; I have sense ofearly leak from the top plastic tank.
Just for reference a new radiatorhear is 1900 AED (560 $). From RockAuto the most expensive is 480 AED (130 $) +Shipping 480 AED (130 $).
If we do the math that is960 AED (260 $) is a saving of 940 AED (255 $) or 1/2 the price.
So since Denso radiator is260 AED (70 $) + Shipping 480 AED (130$) = 740 AED (201 $).
And as long as it is below1,000 AED (271 $) we don’t pay the 5% tax. So as you can see it is much cheaperto order it than get it locally.
Sorry for the long replay.Just a not it is not always cheaper that is why I double check several options beforeI buy.
Thanks

The car should operate with the coolant between 190 - 200 degrees for ideal efficiency. Too cool is not good just like being too hot. I don't believe under normal conditions the towing radiator would change this. At 170 degrees the thermostat opens. I am tempted to use this radiator in mine when I swap it out at the next TB / WP service. Did you actually use a monitoring device to see if the coolant temperature is any different after the swap?
