Why don't you want double cell?

UncleGb:
I need direction where to get single cell radiator for Toyota camry 2003(2.4L engine,4 plugs,Autotransmission). I can only see double cell in the market and I was advised to go for a SINGLE cell that came with it for replacement.
Note: There is NO overheating issues ,just a leak on the radiator that requires topping up every morning.PLssssss help your brother.
Gurusss over to youu

UncleGb:


Thanks for the question Orex

Based on my findings and advise from automedics

The whole house agree with me that CARS are thermal engines ( HOT) and they need to attain optimum temperature to function well.
If a double cell is used as NIGER mechanics will propose that weather here is different from what we have here as if there are no places over there that are not as hot as NIGER the following is bound to happen:

1.Overcooling of the engine,if double cell is used as against the manufacturer single cell. Thereby, killing the engine gradually with sludge build up

2. More fuel consumption because the ECU will keep spraying fuel with the mind that the engine has not reach the optimum temperature.

3. Water pump wears out quickly. A pump that has the power for single cell now doing double work.

This are just the major reasons amidst others. Anybody in the can enlighten as more as nobody knows it all.

Where are the Sienna and others chairmen of nairaland . Pls shed more light on this plssssssssssss.

GAZZUZZ:
demand and supply. There is little demand for the single cell, so no one imports it. Do not bother buying tokumbor, most are refurbished

What is the problem with double cell?

Siena:


What is the problem with the standard radiator, that Toyota spent millions of $$$ in Research & Development on? Does Toyota offer a "double cell" radiator in the XV20 Camry?

Denn:
There is an error I have noticed in the postulations on radiators.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with a double cell radiator.

In fact, I will advise you use a double cell radiator asap.

My facts are stated below;

The operating temperature of the engine is not determined by the size of the radiator but the opening temperature of the thermostat.

In fact if your radiator is as big as a geepee tank, as long as your thermostat is Installed and it opens as when due, your engine will run at an optimal temperature.

The problem with radiator size comes into play if :
*your thermostat has been deleted.
*your cooling fan is not operating at default setting
*there is a problem with any other component in the cooling system.

Double cell radiators enhance the speed at which the coolant gets cooled since it offers more surface area for the air to pass over.

With our high ambient temperature, we need double cell (or even triple cell) radiators as a cooling system upgrade.

Do not delete your thermostat no matter what you do. If your car cannot cool with the thermostat in place, there is a problem.

Thanks

The OP wants to change his leaking radiator. The current OEM radiator which is a single core is not available for purchase.

The model available for purchase is the radiator with double core...aftermarket.

OP was concerned if his engine will not get optimal thermal efficiency with a double cell radiator.

There is brand new double core radiators that fit the particular Toyota and works flawlessly. Engine temperature remains optimal.

Siena:


The thread starter means the single core radiator is not available from the usual suspects, or at a price he's willing to pay. Because I find it difficult to believe a genuine Toyota radiator is not available from RT Briscoe or Elizade.

Even Briscoe and Elizade sometimes source their parts from Ladipo,especially for a car that old,and in this case,even Briscoe and Elizade will advice the double cell due to unavailability of the single,in those days,when you ship in a benz with single cell,despite single cell being the OEM,we ate mostly adviced to change to double as our temp s diff from theirs.

Siena:


I'm contracted to Toyota UK, and out of curiosity, I checked on the availability of a radiator for the older Camry XV20 (1997-2001). Too old? It's still available. Meaning the 2003 model will still be a stock item. But that's another thread.

The highlighted part of your statement is wrong. A thermostat regulates the coolant's working temperature, not the ambient temperature. This has been thrashed out in tons of threads since 2006.
