2008 Toyota Yaris Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to install the radiator and its components on 2008 Toyota Yaris?

  A: Installation of a radiator should start by mounting the radiator drain cock on the radiator assembly. You should install the 2 radiator reserve tank hose grommets together with the 2 radiator support cushions onto the radiator assembly. Use the 2 claws to attach the fan shroud after which install the automatic transaxle outlet and inlet hoses by applying clips. After installing radiator hose No. 2 with its clip proceed to attach the radiator assembly with air conditioning system while securing the 2 claws but avoid applying too much force to the cooler condenser assembly or piping. The cooling fan motor connector must be joined with wire harness clamps. The radiator assembly gets installed without an air conditioning system and the cooling fan motor connector and wire harness clamps get connected in this situation. Connect the oil cooler inlet and outlet hoses and radiator hose No. 2 with their allotted clips before installing radiator hose No. 3 using its 2 clips. Install 4 bolts into the radiator support sub-assembly upper while tightening them to 5.5 Nm (56 kgf-cm, 49 in-lbf). Afterward, connect the horn assembly connector. The hood lock assembly requires temporary bolting with three bolts and subsequent connections of engine hood courtesy switch connector and hood lock control cable assembly to its two clamps. The thief deterrent system installation follows the previous procedure yet users should bypass the theft deterrent process for vehicles without theft protection features. Secure the 2 pins of No. 1 cooler cover into the radiator support LWR through the use of 2 clips for installation. The radiator support absorber upper requires six claws before installation during hatchback procedures. Secure the air cleaner case with two bolts at air cleaner inlet No. 1 while torquing them to 7.8 Nm (80kgf-cm, 69 in-lbf) then connect the wire harness to the air cleaner case. The air cleaner cap can then be secured while tightening the air cleaner hose clamp to 4.0 Nm (41 kgf-cm, 35 in-lbf). Kelley wire harness clamps should secure the ventilation hose along with the vacuum switching valve connector, fuel vapor feed hose and intake air flow meter connector. The front bumper assembly installation requires either the hatchback or sedan specific model while the battery cable connection demands a torque of 5.4 Nm (55 kgf-cm, 48 in-lbf) to the negative terminal and engine cooling needs to proceed with hood lock bolt adjustment before bolting with 7.5 Nm (76 kgf-cm, 66 in-lbf). End the inspection by examining fuel leaks from the engine.
