Radiators

[Mr Singh]

Is the radiator different for the I200 and Altezza?

I know the overflow tank/fan assembly is different..

Thanks,

Am.

I don't think so.

I recently bought a replacement radiator for my IS200 (standard) and it came labelled up as 'to fit Lexus IS200/Toyota Altezza'

The only difference will be is the core size, the OEM rediator has a 27mm thick core, where as a aftermarket radiator will have a 16mm thick core. Both will do the job.

[Mr Singh]

You don;t think so but it was labelled to fit IS200/Toyota Altezza? Doesn't make sense unless you meant it fits both

where did u get it from anyway

[kam05]

I meant it will fit both, IS200 or Altezza.

Bought it from United Autoparts Distribution (www.uadweb.com)

Their website has a diagram of the radiator, so you should be able to confirm for yourself.

Thanks mate, i'll check it out... looks like theres 2 listed... i guess ones manual and other one is auto

[Mr Singh]

On second glance, i don't think it will fit...

The lower rad pipe appears on the opposite side to mine... both top and bottom are on right side ( from the front of the car )

Have you tried to source one from eBay or northern radiators?

Can't you get your original one re-cored?

[Mr Singh]

I might look into it, but in the past i've always just spent the lil extra and bought new ones!
