2005 Corolla Radiator Replacement

How to remove and replace a radiator in a 2005 Toyota Corolla

[@jamesbender2794]

Great tip advising to removing the fan assembly from the radiator so that it will give a lot more hand room to loosen the transmission hoses from and reconnect to the new radiator. Certain details I saw in this video but, not a few others I've seen to help a novice to do a successful job on a Toyota Corolla. Right after I saw this video, I finally had the guts to change mine, and I did it! Thank you Greenos Family Garage!

Glad it helped you. anything can be done with a little reasearch! Thanks for watching.

[@jorgecardona4901]

You did a great job of explaining all the steps.. thank you brother

[@davidgutierrez4932]

That was a very helpful video. Just installed mine.thank you

[@brazosdedios]

Thanks. Will plan to do mine.

Squeeze the big rad hose while ticking over to rapidly purge air or air-locks in the system. Watch your temperature gauge whilst driving for the first time for abnormal higher coolant temps, this means you have an air-lock you need to purge.

GREAT video!!!!!

[@oriondragos5876]

Also, did you keep the fan switch off but set the temp to heat to fill the heater core?

[@marcusdarnell3348]

Great video! Could u have used a screwdriver instead of a punch to stop the transmission fluid from leaking?

[@pcmeicowidjxo9210]

what about the transmission cooling lines connected to the radiator?

[@dyardsale5475]

Good video.

This video was very helpful. I will do mine at home. Thanks. #diykhan from oxford United kingdom.

glad it helped you

[@diykhan]

@@GreenosGarage one last question is that the transmission fluid. Do u have to put more transmission fluid back in?. Thanks

[@GreenosGarage]

@@diykhan you shouldn't have to, but i would check it. first check the level before you start the job to ensure you started with it full. here's a video on checking the level. www.carcarekiosk.com/video/2007_Toyota_Corolla_CE_1.8L_4_Cyl./transmission_fluid/check_fluid_level Then make sure to plug the transmission lines when you take them off the radiator so fluid will not drain. After you complete your install check the fluid level again. If it needs some add to full but do not overfill. If this is your only car you may want to purchase some of the correct fluid for the car, if it does not need any you can return the fluid. If it does you will have enough to fill it back up and not run the car with low transmission fluid. Odds are you won't need any, but it's important to be ready and know the status of fluids in your car. Thanks

Where'd you go for parts

[@hennadee4909]

Does this work on a 2001 corolla?

[@maxwellhouse1902]

Any reason you didn't backflush the heater core and get that funk out of the system? Remove the thermostat so you don't have to wait for it to open up??

[@GreenosGarage]

Flushes aren’t always necessary. SNEAKY Auto Repairs: Don't MISS OUT! kzbin.info/www/bejne/oZCuh32ho8mEr6M

[@sean8081a]

Is there any loss of transmission fluid? Need to top off?

[@diykhan]

Yes this is a good question. I wanna know about this too. Plz help about the transmission fluid. Thanks

[@tteuvky]

18:20 you put one hose for overflow but what is the other hose for with cap on reservoir? where it does go?

[@vclamp]

It is the overflow for the overflow tank. It just dumps onto the ground in the rare case it would ever be used.

[@jansenwilliams6494]

What was wrong with the old one , was it leaking alot? I see crystals on the right side where the plastic tank meets the metal fins

[@GreenosGarage]

Yes, it was leaking!

[@jansenwilliams6494]

Mine isn't leaking, but maybe sipping slowly! I don't want wait so I'm doing Friday or Sunday!

[@neilewing7025]

changing out my radiator on my 93 Camry I ran into a problem with a senser you did not address on the 99 corolla, it broke, guy at parts house had no idea what its called but it appears to monitor transmission fluid temperature, need the name of it so I can find another one

[@neilewing7025]

you could email me the name of it at [e-mail] thanks

[@garagegod9108]

I dont remember any sensor on the carolla. That being said, just google a parts diagram and you should be able to find it or just call the dealership.

la introducción parece que dijera "agua" "agua" jaja xD

[@badderthanyou]

Can you burp it without the funnel?

[@AmritpalBharaj]

no spill funnel makes burping an easy clean job, I always use the extender tube to raise the highest point of cooling system to evacuate the air inside. Without that kit is kind of tough unless you find the right size funnel to jam into the filler neck. It is a must have to get a $20 kit

[@mimusic1853]

Oh jolly look at me ma’!

[@forhisglory700]

@7:06 what is the name of the tool you're using?

[@GreenosGarage]

They are long nose hose pliers. I got them in a set of two or three. Try Amazon.

[@forhisglory700]

@@GreenosGarage Thanks for the video; as well as for your reply. It's very helpful. I had a hell of a time moving the clamp from its current position on the hose using a wrench; especially the clamp at the lower left compartment of the engine. I saw your video after the fact; and thought wow, that tool would have made the job so much easier. Thanks again, and sorry for the rambling.

[@GreenosGarage]

@@forhisglory700 so what can help are hose hooks They are like picks that you slide under the hose and breaks the bond between the hose and the radiator neck.

[@GreenosGarage]

Search for radiator hose picks

[@forhisglory700]

@@GreenosGarage Thanks brother; will do.

[@mjk9674]

always take the fan out first

The car was in Iraq 🇮🇶??lol
