I would say yes. Think of it this way. Your cooling system is under pressure. When the car is heating up it will build up alot of pressure and eventually the crack will get bigger. And if your car over heats , it could get pretty costly to repair a cracked head.Plus be stranded on the side of the highway somewhere. It may be a pain right now and go why bother, but for about 100 bucks are less get it replaced and in the end you might save 500 bucks or more plus the car in the shop and believe me I work in a mechanics shop and we don't charge you cheap. I see so many engines go bad because People do not change there oil regulary. I much would pay 20 bucks for an oil change every 3,000 miles then to spend. $1,000- $3,000 on a new motor. It's up to you. Don't replace it and it will cost you more, or Replace now and save.... Up to you. Hope that helps out some.
Can they? Yes. Should they? No. They are extremely cheap to replace.
my 1993 Toyota Camry radiator had a hole in it it was overheating. I replaced the radiator. The car is still overheating where is the thermostat located. First, drain your coolant from the radiator. Find your lower radiator hose and follow it to the metal housing. This is the thermostat housing. Remove the 2 nuts with a 10mm wrench. Remove the thermostat and replace with new one and new gasket. Re-install and re-fill your radiator with new coolant. Drive the car with heater running. Allow the engine to cool and top off the radiator. Add coolant to the reservoir to halfway between Full and Low.
replace the radiator, they are integrated.
Remove the front bumper to remove the radiator
There may be other reasons for the vehicle to be overheating but yes if you have let the reservoir run dry then it wont have suction to draw fluid back into the radiator so you will have to fill the radiator as well.
Is the secondary radiator fan coming on when the AC is turned on?
cost to replace the radiator in my 1995 4 cyl. Camry today will be $220.
oakbrook toyota il wants 736 for it!
Blown head gastet, radiator leaking, thermostat needs to be replaced Blown head gastet, radiator leaking, thermostat needs to be replaced
Pour water/antifreeze at ratio 60/40 into radiator
If the Toyota Celica VVTI is not blowing hot air through the heater, but the engine is overheating, there could be a problem with the radiator being plugged up. Sediment sometimes builds up in the radiator that can clog thermostats. Another problem might be the thermostat sticking or the water pump is leaking.
Bad thermostat maybe?
