As for a transmission cooler, the earlier petrol 150s come with a factory trans cooler. I can only assume the very lastest petrols do as well. It's the diesels that don't come with one but that is another story.

I got properly bogged in super soft sand on a +40C day. Left the engine and a/c running the whole time in between trying to dig myself out as the better half was pretty shitty (advice just before it happened 'Whatever you do don't get bogged' = jinx)
Anyway the Prado never overheated, so I would say there is something else wrong. Agree about checking the radiator.
I run a fly screen in front of my radiator which is easy to clean for bugs etc, although the service guys keep removing it which shits me no end.[B]Steve[/B]

You'll find if it's caked with mud you'll pay Toyota a wad to clean it out.
More than likely they will just say it needs replacing.Comment

Toyota said radiator and condeser clogged with mud as we all expected.
$1,100 repair bill as condensor needed replacing.
Does anyone know if you can get screens to stop mud etc getting up between the radiator and condensor fins?
I said to Toyota that this was supposed to be god's gift to 4 wheel driving and this is the second time in 8 months that it has failed due to a bit of mud!!!!!
But I guess I can take consolation from the fact that it was my fault and nort dikrect vehicle failure!

Did they say why it needed to replaced. I would have thought remove and a good clean would have been sufficient.Originally posted by pradokakadudavid View Post
