GAZZUZZ:
Had to stand up and check all connections again.

Pipe work is fine, just these children that don't pay attention in class.

Evaporator no leak, major pipe work no leaks.

Let's move over to condenser.

in a perfect situation I would have replaced the condenser.

But I'm working on a tight budget, so let's work with what we have.

Condenser has a filter, and it's not very happy sad

Re-install condenser, block 1 side, connect other side to system, then vacuum again.

thankfully I do not have to work at super speed, and I have been told to take my time.

So today was spent on aesthetics of the engine bay.

Most times the only difference between a Nigerian used car part and a foreign used one is dirt!

Our bad roads make every thing really messy.

If a car owner is in the habit of cleaning up the engine bay frequently it also helps to avoid a build up.

Today all we did was house keeping. grin

Re: When GAZZUZZ takes over - RX350 - The Journey by GAZZUZZ(m): 8:49am On Jul 26, 2017

the 2gr-fe engine designed for the RX350 comes with a coolant cooled engine oil cooler. It is a good design, to bring down engine temperatures especially when towing

www.nairaland.com/attachments/5715521_images3_jpeg61842ce9c9fa2118d9a3e0561118cec5

Unfortunately this design is plagued with problems. Rubber pipes are used to transfer the hot engine oil from the engine to the cooler and back.

There have been a lot of reports about ruptured and leaking pipes which result in a quick death of the engine.

www.nairaland.com/attachments/5715537_oilcoolerleak_jpege18216c58e4e860c773b7568935c72c7

To avoid this costly mishap, metal pipes have been designed.

www.nairaland.com/attachments/5715508_images2_jpeg8a38ef15772cafb04789a7778aff64ab

Sadly I am yet to see a tokumbor engine in nigeria with metal oil cooler piping.

Hopefully I will get to see one today.

If I do not, I will buy a 2gr-fe engine designed for the toyota avalon or its kind that is designed without an engine oil cooler.
