Dude the exact thing happened to me when I was replacing my alternator, those radiator connections get so dam brittle over time. Not excited to change my entire Radiator but it’s good for the car.
Great info I tried pulling out mine coz the old rad cap pin fell inside the refill pot of the rad. I was just confused seeing the refrigerant ac lines connected to the radiator thinking it's 1 entire rad that cools the engine and runs the Refrig as well but now it's clear in ur video that there are 2 parts. Thanks for the info will work out on mine tomorrow morning.
Yes! The cheep ass Toyota filler neck cheap ass broke on me too! Thanks Toyota never once had to do this on one Ford I owned. Crazy have to replace due to shot design and quality. People say Toyota is quality and reliability lmfao! That brittle breaks could leave you stranded and massive engine failures.

yea just replaced a broken dipstick tube. in the process I broke off a little plastic nipple at the radiator cap. this is one of the biggest pain in the rear radiators ive ever replaced i realized i can hopefully get the radiator and fan out at the same time, then get the rubber supports off to get the bottom bolts off put the fan back on the radiator and drop it in. all i did was bump it and break a half inch of plastic and now im in it for a whole new radiator, lol omg stupid dipstick tube@@MrFix-It
@@alexmc3217 Its crazy that its so brittle and easy to break. I'm not gonna lie when it happened to me I kicked the car and said "F" it and wanted to give up on it but then I fixed the radiator and now it runs even better then before.
@@MrFix-It It is very difficult for me to understand these symbols, my beautiful friend. I would like a video clip on your channel, my car, a 2010 Corolla.
Yo bro at the beginning of the video the tube that goes to the water outlet and radiator is that the whole reason for the replacement? Because mine broke exactly like yours when changing the starter
Ya I was changing my starter and I broke the nipple off from the radiator cap first then after i changed the radiator I broke the water pipe outlet as well. I have videos on both repairs.
Just a heads up you might wanna spend the extra money on the more expensive one because i got the cheaper radiator and the nipples at the bottom were to big for my hoses. I had to expand the hoses with some pliers but it would have been easier having the right size tubes so the hoses just slide on. Before you drop the new one in check the nipples and make sure they are the same size as the original radiator.

Glad I wasn't the only one who broke that nipple off the rad. It was so brittle. Ruined mine while doing a alternator replacement.
same situation rn 😭
same thing happening to me rn right when i was in the middle of getting my alternator on
I wish this was done as an actual step by step and not after the job was over.

What is the hose/skinny tube that stands up and dangles around by the air filter box.
Converting temperature from Fahrenheit to Celsius for a 2010 Corolla

There is no information on Google. I am from Iraq. Thank you, friend
(32°F − 32) × 5/9 = 0°C
This is the conversion
Hope this helps you
