Product Details

If your 1996 or 1997 Toyota RAV4 2.0L is starting to overheat, or you've noticed a coolant leak, it's likely time to replace the radiator. This CSF radiator is built to be a direct fit replacement for your original equipment, meaning it'll install just like the factory one did. It's constructed with durable plastic tanks and an aluminum core, which is a common and effective design for keeping your engine cool.

CSF has been making cooling components for a long time, and this radiator is a solid option for getting your RAV4's cooling system back in working order. It's designed to handle the pressures and temperatures your engine generates, helping to prevent overheating and keeping your engine running smoothly. Because it's an OEM-style replacement, you can expect it to perform much like the original radiator did when it was new.

When you're replacing your radiator, it's a good idea to also consider replacing your coolant hoses and thermostat if they're old. This ensures your entire cooling system is fresh and working efficiently. Make sure to use the correct type of coolant for your Toyota as specified in your owner's manual.
