Radiator for Toyota Camry (2002-2006) 2.4L

Direct-Fit Replacement Radiator for 2002-2006 Toyota Camry (XV30)

What it Does: The replacement radiator restores factory cooling efficiency on the 2002-2006 Camry to dissipate engine heat and prevent head gasket failure under severe thermal loads.

The Stock Toyota Camry Thermal Degradation

The factory cooling assembly in the XV30 Camry relies on glass-reinforced nylon end tanks crimped to an aluminum core. Over extended duty cycles, repeated thermal expansion and exposure to pressurized ethylene glycol embrittle the plastic headers. This leads to hairline fracture propagation along the tank seams, degraded crimp gaskets, and calcified crust buildup. Left unaddressed, fluid loss drops operating pressure, causing severe cylinder head warping and head gasket breach on the aluminum open-deck 2AZ-FE block.

The Engineering Solution

This downflow replacement unit utilizes a brazed 5/8-inch single-row aluminum core packed with high-density louvered heat fins to maximize conductive surface area and heat rejection. Virgin thermal-polymer end tanks are secured with uniform-compression mechanical crimps over synthetic O-ring seals, pressure-tested prior to release. An integrated internal transmission oil cooler circuit handles fluid cooling for automatic transaxles via factory-spec 1-5/16 inch ports without disrupting manual gearbox compatibility. Directly replaces OEM part numbers 16400-0H030, 16400-0H200, and 16400-28280.

Frequently Asked Questions & Fitment Warnings

Does this fit the XV30 Camry?

Yes, this is a direct fit for the 2002-2006 Toyota Camry equipped with the 2AZ-FE 2.4L engine across all automatic and manual trim configurations.

Do I need to bleed the cooling system after replacement?

Yes, you must burp and bleed trapped air pockets from the cooling system once the engine reaches operating temperature to prevent localized hot spots and erratic thermostat behavior.
