You are welcome. Stick to the maintenance routine specified by your car manufacturer and the fluids specified. Don't use that Mobil oil in your transmission. It will end in tears.
�� I will not.

Since yesterday my car temperature goes slightly above middle and sometimes even goes to high when my AC is on and in in stagnant Traffic for a while. When I turn the AC off it comes back to the middle

Please gurus in the house kindly advice. My fans are working
Re: Car Talk Chat Room by obidevine(m): 11:24pm On Mar 09, 2021
I intend to change my Radiator from what it came with to a double cell radiator. Honestly I don't know if the radiator that came with the car is single or double cell.

The car is to Toyota Camry LE 2012.

If I change it , please do I also need to change the water pump ?

I like the car a lot

Gurus in the house please come to my rescue like the avengers.

Check your fans if it happens only with the ac on. I doubt your radiator is the problem.

I suspect your ac fan is either malfunctioning intermittently or blowing in the wrong direction.

Your fans are meant to pull cold air from outside into your engine bay.

I've recently come across technicians installing a fans to blow out air from the engine out through the radiator.

Is the fan meant to blow to the right or?

Do a simple test, put nylon in front of the condenser, if it sucks the nylon to the condenser that means it's blowing in d right direction.

Yeah. Try both sides of the condenser cos in the case I witnessed, the main fan was sucking in cool air into the engine bay(right direction) while the ac fan was blowing out hot air from the engine bay outward(wrong direction).

Quick question for the car gurus that I respect so much.

Does the 2012 Toyota Camry LE come with a single cell radiator or a double cell radiator?

Do a Google search on the vin. It will bring up pictures of the car if it was shipped from the usa especially if it was auctioned by copart.

If not, pay a token to computerglobal or carguideng to run a comprehensive vincheck for you.
