Toyota celica 2.0gt

i dont know how much that is as i am in the uk.
i would check around and call a couple off garages and see how much they would charge you.

For many of the 90's and 2000's Toyota various models - Camry, Tacoma, 4 Runners, Corolla, and some other models overheating is usually caused by temperature sensitive fan switch on the radiator not operating. Electric fan on the radiator should operate when temp above 200 degrees. Less often the control relay 90987-03003 is defective. Check if bubbling in the radiator smells like exhaust. That would indicate a blown head gasket. A jumper wire from your marker light positive to the lower contact in the fan control relay socket will operate your fan when parking lights are on. The larger vehicles with more powerful radiator fans will need a hefty jumper from a headlight positive to avoid overheating the lighting wiring. Make sure the engine is off and warmed up to check the radiator core with your hand to see if it is getting circulation. If it is all cold the thermostat might be stuck.

Have you checked the engine temperature when the gauge shows fully high if it is true message and not lying and the problem is the temperature gauge? Since this happened stop the car open the bonnet touch the radiator hoses and even with off running engine touch the vents of the radiator to all surface and see it the temperature is everywhere the same.

If they're ballooning then your water pump is bad, but if they are shrinking like they're under vacuum, something is clogged. Pull the radiator hoses off after draining your anti freeze and run a hose to the top inlet. If water comes back out the inlet and has a poor flow it's clogged. The water should be capable of flowing right through.

Removal of the Fan Shroud and Drive Belts

• 1 Drain the cooling system. Place a waste oil collection pan underneath the petcock valve on the lower corner of the radiator. Open the petcock valve to drain the system.
  
• 2 Remove the bolts that connect the fan shroud to the radiator core and remove the fan shroud.
  
• 3 Loosen the alternator adjustment bolt and slide the alternator toward the engine. Remove the drive belt.
  
• 4 Loosen the adjustment bolt for the air conditioning compressor, and slide the compressor toward the engine. Remove the drive belt.
  
• 5 Loosen the adjustment bolt on the power steering pump and slide the pump toward the engine. Remove the drive belt.
  

Removal of the Water Pump

• 1 Disconnect the bypass hose from the water pump by loosening the hose clamp and pulling the hose off the fitting.
  
• 2 Remove the bolts that connect the water pump to the engine block, and remove the water pump and engine fan as an assembly.
  
• 3 Remove the four retaining nuts that connect the fan assembly to the water pump. They will be located between the fluid coupling and the water pump pulley.
  

Installation of the Water Pump

• 1 Attach the fan assembly to the new water pump by sliding the pulley then the fluid coupling onto the water pump and reinstalling the retaining nuts.
  
• 2 Clean any old gasket material off the water pump mounting surface on the engine block.
  
• 3 Place the new water pump gasket on the water pump mounting surface.
  
• 4 Slide the new water pump into position and reinstall the mounting bolts.
  
• 5 Reconnect the bypass hose by sliding the hose over the fitting and tightening the hose clamp.
  

Reinstalling the Drive Belts and Fan Shroud

• 1 Reinstall the the drive belts for the power steering pump, air conditioning compressor and alternator. Tighten the adjusting bolts.
  
• 2 Measure the deflection of each belt to make sure the belts are properly tightened. Measure deflection by placing a straight edge along the belt against the accessory pulley and the water pump pulley. Push down on the belt and measure the distance between the belt at the midpoint and the straight edge. It should be between 1/2 and 1/4 inch. Any more and the belt needs to be tightened. Loosen the adjustment and slide the accessory away from the engine to tighten.
  
• 3 Drop the fan shroud into position and reinstall the bolts that secure it to the radiator.
  
• 4 Close the petcock valve on the radiator and fill the cooling system with fresh coolant.
  
• 5 Run the engine and visually inspect for leaks.
  

1. Disconnect battery ground cable.

10. Disconnect oil cooler hose from clamp on fan shroud, then remove shroud.
11. Remove water pump pulley mounting nuts.
12. Remove fan with fluid coupling, water pump pulley and fan shroud.
13. Disconnect transmission oil cooler hoses.
14. Disconnect radiator outlet hose.
15. Remove radiator brackets, then the radiator.
16. Reverse procedure to install.

Start vechile, let it warm up, turn on heater, is there heat from the heater?
No? You need to bleed the system better. Jack the front of the car up, remove radiator cap, while throttle is increased add more coolant, then with throttle still increased put radiator cap back on and release throttle. Is there now heat?

The thermostat is located in the water inlet housing that is connected to the lower radiator hose.
The thermostat is equipped with a by-pass valve. If the engine tends to overheat, removal of the thermostat would cause a decrease in cooling system efficiency.

CAUTION NEVER drain coolant directly onto the ground! NEVER open, service or drain the radiator or cooling system when hot; serious burns can occur from the steam and hot coolant. Also, when draining engine coolant, keep in mind that cats and dogs are attracted to ethylene glycol antifreeze and could drink any that is left in an uncovered container or in puddles on the ground. This will prove fatal in sufficient quantities. Always drain coolant into a sealable container. Coolant should be reused unless it is contaminated or is several years old.


Fig. The oil filter must be removed to access the thermostat on the 5S-FE engine

1. Position a suitable drain pan under the radiator drain **** and drain the cooling system.
2. On the 7A-FE engine disconnect the engine coolant temperature switch harness from the water inlet housing.

Fig. Disconnect the engine coolant temperature switch wiring located on the side of the thermostat housing

1. Remove the oil filter on 5S-FE engines.
2. Loosen the hose clamp and disconnect the lower radiator hose from the water inlet housing.

Fig. Loosen the radiator hose clamp ...



Fig. ... then slide the hose off the thermostat housing

1. Remove the two nuts from the water inlet housing and remove the housing from the water pump studs.

Fig. Only two nuts hold the housing to the cylinder head



Fig. Pull the housing straight out to remove

1. Remove the thermostat and rubber O-ring gasket from the water inlet housing.

To install:

1. Make sure all the gasket surfaces are clean. Clean the inside of the inlet housing and the radiator hose connection with a rag.
2. Install the new rubber O-ring gasket onto the thermostat. On 5S-FE engines, align the jiggle valve with the upper side of the stud bolt. Insert the thermostat into the housing.

Fig. Only use the correct temperature range thermostat when for replacement

I hope help you with this (remember rated this help) Good luck.

IF THE OIL FILTER SCREWS ON TO IT IT IS A OIL COOLER CHECK THAT THE FILTER IS TIGHT

Cooling Thermostat.
Look along the radiator hose where it enters the engine. This controls the water temperature.


Toyota Celica Thermal Fan Switch The Toyota Celica thermal radiator fan switch is usually located in the radiator or the engine block and has 2 or 3 wires coming from the unit. The 3 wire switch has a dual sensor for dual speed radiator fans. The Toyota Celica thermo fan switches come in the factory temperature settings and also come in cooler thermostatic settings so the fan will come on at a lower coolant temp.

The Toyota Celica cooling system is made of aluminum components and requires a Phosphate free coolant. DO NOT PUT an over the counter antifreeze in your Toyota Celica, as it will ruin the radiator and water pump.
