Means? You mean it might not be a blown head gasket or you think it’s that problem only?

I was using full water tbh. It’s my bad/my mechanic who filled it that way. And i wasn’t thinking much about it that time. All i wanna know is that if it’s water calcification, is around 2 years enough to clog it or there needs to be another cause for it to become clogged so soon?

Clogged in the water side/inside. The bubbles were coming when i changed the gear from P to D etc. and on idle they were almost non existent. Is that of any help?

Oh so using water will make it go bad this soon? Thanks. I will need to open and clean it. As flushing didn’t do much help. It’s still clogged. Will get back to you after i do that as it’s weekend here right now. (Friday/Saturday)

I had to top off multiple times after changing radiator last year and before changing the water pump etc last week.

The mechanic says that the radiator seems to be clogged as he checked through a camera. I did not get it cleaned yet though to make sure if that is the cause. But my question is why did the radiator get clogged within 2 years and it’sa genuine Toyota radiator?

One of the mechanics checked through a camera inside the radiator and says that it is clogged. So i will get it cleaned and check back. My question now in the mean time is, why did the new radiator get clogged so fast under 2 years?!

Can the air bubbles be caused by other issues other than head gasket?

Heat goes around 43-46 these days. But as far as i can remember, it never increases the temperature even while idling for long time even at noon. Can the new radiator be clogged in a year (i was using regular water instead of red fluid before)? Will try the cap change.

The radiator was changed an year ago, before this over heating issue started. (As my radiator burst from The plastic cracking radiator issue). I have no idea about the gaskets etc, but can you guide me on how to check on them?

What is a combustion gas test, and the car only ever heated once near 3/4th of the gauge. And never red lined.

Yep. 2UZ-FE

Hey! So, recently my land cruiser started overheating when idle for extended period of time. Accordingly i have replaced the following parts with new genuine toyota parts: thermostat, waterpump, temperature sensor, fan clutch (radiator/engine), fan motor (ac/the fan inside the grille on the...

What about the condenser being clogged? it’s the original condenser from 2009. Can it be the cause of this?

Yes, i did the servicing because of overheating. But it was more severe before and now it seems to be reduced but still present..
