Mistakes happen, but seriously.

You sent me a completely different and wrong part. Now I don't have a car and can work for another week. Thank you guys. Is this also for the Jeep Liberty? The numbers aren't even close. Big disappointment.

Pros
  • Absolute legend
Cons
  • There are other interesting options.

Fits 1993 Toyota Camry

Restoration of a dead 1993 Toyota Camry. This radiator was the first part I installed and it went great. It even came with a lid, so there's no need to order it separately. Fits, works, what else do I need?

Pros
  • Impressive
Cons
  • There are nuances

Inexpensive solution

Works well with some help from the U-tube, easy installation, plus a reasonable price. Seems a bit lightweight so I can't vouch for its long-term reliability, but it solved my problem for about a third of what it would cost me to buy a heatsink locally. As a main customer, I received it in two days.

Pros
  • Very good value for money
Cons
  • Some shortcomings

Perfect for radiators

I'm always skeptical about buying car parts online because I can't see them and we only judge by the picture. This radiator was dead, it came with a new radiator cap and all the necessary grommets and bushings. If you have a 90's Camry with 5sfe this is what you need, seems to be better quality than the factory original.

Pros
  • Sturdy construction
Cons
  • Only available in white

Cheap and effective: replacement parts

My plastic top heatsink ended up cracking and needs to be replaced. This old Toyota just keeps going and I don't think I'll ever sell it. Claiming it's high performance and all this mess is just a bunch of talk. It's the same they sell in the Autozone for $30 more than Amazon, works perfectly, comes with everything you need except maybe a small piece of teflon tape.

Pros
  • Easy to install
Cons
  • Really don't like it, everything is fine

Perfect fit, curved fins.

This was the perfect replacement for my 1995 2.2L Camry. I bought it with Gates 21963 and 21964 radiator hoses and a SuperStat Stant 45758 thermostat (I also had to buy a thermostat gasket). Pros: My radiator came with a new cap which was nice as I didn't have to buy one. separately. The radiator was secured in a box to prevent movement and all openings on the radiator were capped or sealed to prevent debris from entering. Cons: My cooler came with curved fins on both sides. Being aluminum this

Pros
  • Permanent test results
Cons
  • Useless features

Great cooler for Camry

The Spectra Premium CU1318 cooler fits my 1996 4 cylinder Camry with no problems. Installed new radiator hoses, no problems. The coolant temperature sensor fitting on the underside of the radiator contains a rubber o-ring plug required to install the old coolant temperature sensor. The old sensor had an o-ring on the end of the sensor, while this heatsink requires an o-ring on the outside of the sensor. I left the old o-ring on the sensor just in case it had a function I couldn't easily figure…

Pros
  • Best
Cons
  • Ugly packaging
