Default Variants of radiators?


I ordered one locally. Went to fit it today, when I got the old one off. It's taller by about an inch and the core is thicker. It's the original Toyota Denso one. The replacement I for was Nissens brand. Which is all we have over here in Ireland. So there was no chance of this fitting securely and probably only had half the capacity of the original one. I'm gonna bring it back and get a refund. The only other option locally is from Lexus.

Is there a couple of different variants for the ls460?

I had to revert back to the stock one for now, hoping the diy leak repair holds a few more days

Gees looks like a space saver one The hose connection areas all appear to be in the right place. I bet a lot of aftermarket ones may vary in overall size but still fits. I bet the one at the Lexus dealer will be 5 times as much as the after market one. If so id roll the dice on the Nissen one if that was my only option.

So it seems like its for a ls600h which has a smaller radiator compared to the ls460. so it didnt fit. in any way

I ended up with fitting a genuine one from local Lexus dealer for not much more than the Nissens one
