How to replace Radiator on 2004 Toyota Avalon

[@michaelquillen2679]

Good video. I've take a few radiators out of Camrys but now coming up on an Avalon (2004, in fact). Easy to follow and your dialog was like you were talking to a group of friendly people. Thanks for the video!

[@RBTheMechanic]

i have a 2001 toyota avalon and its very similar compared to the diagram i was looking at, i was stressed about some of the removal but you gave me some confidence now

[@RBTheMechanic]

bbobony you can do it should be same thing 2 pipes 2 pipes for trans and whole bunch of bolts and fans

[@dimitriaganowski9982]

Very nice job! You made it look easy. This was my first serious DIY car repair and I struggled in several places, but it is done! Thanks…you gave me the confidence to tackle it myself!

[@RBTheMechanic]

Nice good job!!

[@laneman8777]

Thak you, doing this today. Got my Denso radiator at Napa for less than the low quality one at Autozone.

Welcome

Thanks for sharing. I'm sharing this with my students.

I guess Im kinda randomly asking but does anybody know of a good place to stream new tv shows online?

[@miguelcampuzano2967]

Your video was very helpful and straightforward!! I only had one question at the end what do you mean by letting the air out? And does that come before or after I add the antifreeze?

[@RBTheMechanic]

After u put the antifreeze just let the car run it will burp it self and then let the car cool off and u can add more coolant nothing big deal on this Toyota there will be air in the system but it will come out just need to let it run for a bit and the recheck coolant level

[@AlexMartinez-hm1rt]

Will wish me luck just watched youre video im about to change mines lol nice video very helpful 👍 nice explaining

[@RBTheMechanic]

Good luck u can do it

[@jonlejcar5306]

Very informative, got an 01 avalon that I'm doing a radiator on when it comes in the mail

[@RBTheMechanic]

Should be easy and fun

[@jonlejcar5306]

@@RBTheMechanic the annoying part is it started leaking after fixing my brother's car coolant issue

[@RBTheMechanic]

@@jonlejcar5306 what did you fix... did u check where it’s leaking from

[@jonlejcar5306]

@@RBTheMechanic on his was water pump. Immediately after fixing his car I moved my car and noticed it leaking. It is seeping thriugh in the exact same spot on the top of the radiator as you said in the video

[@RBTheMechanic]

@@jonlejcar5306 oh ok yeah it’s got to go that means it’s old radiator!

[@phuong-hopwinn1409]

very good video. Great job in showing us how-to do it!!!

[@RackCityop14]

So when we put the new one in do we have to get any bubbles out of the hoses at all ?

[@RBTheMechanic]

Nope top off the fluid and then burp it which is simple just let it idle once’s it’s filled up and then let it cool down and recheck it top it off. This Toyota is friendly

[@jakewheeler3058]

Bro seriously thank you so much!

[@RBTheMechanic]

Welcome!! Always here to help

Thank you! Very helpful

12:33 You go BANG! 😂😂😂😂😂 So true

[@RBTheMechanic]

🙃 haha

[@TourettesMobileMechanic]

Nice. How you get the right radiator. Mine a 2002 3.0 XLS Avalon. I’m bout to do a live stream. It has two radiators. wtf. I don’t think it’s this easy 😂. I’ll keep you posted. Great video and to the point. Good stuff. Got a like a sub from me sir. Appreciate your hard work.

[@RBTheMechanic]

U might have to measure the thickness

[@TourettesMobileMechanic]

@ I got it right. 5/8 of an inch. Tiny AF. I put the VIN into all data. I was able to cross reference the AutoZone part number. . For real though. You ain’t BSn. This was the easiest radiator ever lol. I spent some extra time cleaning up everything to do a live stream of the re install. It’s my girls car so I like to hook her up. Since I work on it all the time I prep plugs and stuff for future work. I’ll post it today or tomorrow. I could have done it honestly in 30 minutes with bleeding the system included in that time lol.

[@TourettesMobileMechanic]

@ he’ll. I may go ahead and bust it out now. Let me see how much time I’m working with. I have to get that Hemi done. Thanks again. I enjoy your videos. I’m a kinetic learner so I watch them all the time to go along with my other research. I work on lots of cars like yourself so you know how that goes is always someone who knows extra tips that are helpful. And they may even have a few extra tips on this Avalon to make it easier. FYI. I did not have to remove the upper radiator hose on the passenger side either if I did not want to I could’ve squeezed it out. I had plenty of room on my Avalon… 🙏 💯 👏

[@dmarie517]

Great video-Thanks! I just got my 2k Avalon radiator replaced with the lower priced one (196k miles). It road very smooth before the radiator broke and now if does not feel so smooth. It feels rough riding. Does the computer need to sense the change?

[@RBTheMechanic]

No it shouldn’t have effect on the ride of the car

[@魏森]

Somebody blew a head gasket…😔

[@oscaralvarez714]

Thank you!!! You helped more than you know!

[@RBTheMechanic]

Oscar Alvarez no problem

[@dustysammons8731]

Have a 1998 Avalon got a radiator out of a 2001 Avalon fits. Now is over heating. There is a sensor on bottom of 2001 radiator does it need to be hooked up and where do I hook it up

[@daddyman45]

Great video! Did your replacement radiator have a one-inch depth or 5/8-inch depth? Also, how many gallons of antifreeze/coolant will I need? Thanks.

[@RBTheMechanic]

daddyman45 not sure about the depth but I usually call up my good parts store give them the vin they give me correct part always u will need 2 gallons also change thermostat while u at it. Please subscribe also subscribe to my other channel here’s a link kzbin.info/door/vqsPzqAZfVv_gjBYUFqNdg

[@marielopez2276]

What if it’s leaking radiator fluid by the serpentine belt after a pressure test?

[@RBTheMechanic]

It maybe or most likely the water pump

[@OmarJace]

I have 2004 Toyota Avalon, im trying to replace the radiator but there's two types of radiators , how can I know which one gits my car.

[@RBTheMechanic]

The thickness u have to take it out and measure it

[@OmarJace]

@@RBTheMechanic the one in the car now is DENSO 2210512 ( with tow package). I did my research on this one and it says "1 core thickness. Is that means any 1 inch will fit or has to be with tow package? Thanks

[@RBTheMechanic]

@@OmarJace I’m not sure please ask parts department so u don’t buy wrong radiator

No problem!!

[@S44BBOI]

you gotta drop the radiator to replace the hood latch. can you do that without removing everything lol

[@RBTheMechanic]

@@S44BBOI I don’t think u need to drop radiator just for hood latch

[@S44BBOI]

@@RBTheMechanic i think you do, the pins/screws are behind the radiator : / they are not in front like where the horn is.

[@RBTheMechanic]

@ don’t think so I will have to check but doubt that

[@Rvydenn]

Same as 2003 avalon

[@RBTheMechanic]

Yup

Have a 1998 Avalon got a radiator from 2001 over heating 2001 has a sensor on bottom does it need hooked up and where do I hook it up

[@RBTheMechanic]

Ur interchanging the radiator so if ur original don’t have it then u don’t need to plug it in just there for blocking the hole
