ATF cooler - help

[aidanjaye]

Am I right in thinking the small cooler in front of radiator is the ATF cooler??

Seems mine has decided to start leaking from one of the pipe connections......AH

This cooler must be under low pressure as just normal pipe connectors.

Anyone any idea cost of cooler / or if repairable being a low pressure item??

Is it the rubber hose connection that is leaking as it may just be a case of cutting off the end and refitting with a new clamp.

If it is one of the metal pipes on the cooler a radiator repair specialist should be able to rebraze the joint.

New replacement is part number 32913-53020 priced at a mere £300.00 from Lexus!

£300 for a tiny bar cooler??

Hopefully its just a hose, are at worst, a cracked pipe thats repairable. Todays afternoon project

Unlike another well known company's  prices Lexus parts are never knowingly undersold!

Please lets us know the outcome of your investigations.

All good....was the crappy pipe clip and a furred up pipe.
Cleaned up and fitted decent jubilee clip - no leak.

Arm looks like its went 10 rounds with a tiger - not a lot of space to work in.
