Lexus LS430, 2001 - Radiator Replacement (DIY $125, Save ~$500-900)

[@sureshroy2968]

Very nice demo, I am no mechanic but was able to replace radiator in my LS430

[@gabegarcia7779]

How much coolant did you put back in which coolant red line Asian long life ? Or which how much gallon things did you buy

[@mediaonemarketinggroup9800]

One of my cooling fans quit working.... Do I have to remove the whole radiator to change the fan or can I just remove the fan assembly while radiator is still in place? Also can I just change one fan motor or do I have to replace the whole damn fan assembly?

Sorry been away for a while... no problem, glad to help you in S.A. ... -FM

[@davidfreeburn8592]

wouldnt it be wise to pre-fill the radiator transmission cooli9ng section so there is no "air-gap"?

[@hehahohee]

Does the automatic transmission fluid need to be drained to do this?

[@FunkyMechanic]

No need to do that as the transmission fluid only flows through when the engine is running. Have a good 2014.

Thanks for a great video. What about the quality of radiator? The prices vary. Online I see them as low as $68. Is there radiators to avoid?

[@FunkyMechanic]

Delayed response... the one I installed averages about $100. Review the description above (show more) with links to PartsTrain & AutoPartsWarehouse.

They are most likely not oem or remanufactured so with that its a 50 50 oem will usually cost more but most the time with car parts its the labor thats expensive now days you can almost find a video for most basic diy installations

[@FunkyMechanic]

So far my research says there is no easy way to do this without involving the dealer and some cash. Good luck.

[@glenmccarthy8482]

Thanks , not as difficult as i imagined.

You shook the camera & swung the camera back & forth like a friggin pendulum all over the place, yet never really seeing anything. Gave my headache watching. So not cool that you didn't do steady close ups.
