its_true1 Posted 3 September 2022 Report Posted 3 September 2022 Does the charge cooler get topped up with tap water or anti freeze.
_Chris_ Posted 4 September 2022 Report Posted 4 September 2022 What they don't tell you is to do it with the pump running as this drops the level at the cap. Blip the throttle with the ignition on and the pump should run for about 30 seconds. 1
Sherv Posted 4 September 2022 Report Posted 4 September 2022 (edited) Just noticed your sig says ST202,not ST205 ,if thats the case its not a charge cooler you're asking about (unless you have a 3SG-TE turbo swap),if not do you mean the normal engine coolant.If so ideally use Toyota Red stuff. Though your post is for GT4 cooler,if it is GT4 then yeah what the guys above said Edited 4 September 2022 by Sherv
_Chris_ Posted 4 September 2022 Report Posted 4 September 2022 In both cases the Toyota red is the best stuff to use. I've seen inside engines run with Toyota red, and engines run with normal aftermarket stuff. I also forgot to mention, blipping the throttle with ignition on also provides confirmation the pump is working. It's becoming increasingly common as the age goes up for these to stop working. It's usually worn out brushes in the motor but often worth getting a re-con pump. Available from GT4-play or TCB. Either low level or failed pump will produce the code 54 error.
meirion Posted 4 September 2022 Report Posted 4 September 2022 What I do rather than "blip" the throttle is have my son sit in the car and hold the throttle down at about 3000rpm. The fluid level drops as the pump kicks in, fill it and get the cap back on sharpish . If you've had a "check engine" light because of a low level you must pull the main fuse or disconnect the battery for a short while to get rid of the code and get the ecu to go back to "all good".
_Chris_ Posted 4 September 2022 Report Posted 4 September 2022 On the gen 6 you don't actually need the engine running, just ignition on and push the throttle. If you have a second person they can keep the throttle down to keep it running.
its_true1 Posted 20 September 2022 Author Report Posted 20 September 2022 Guys thanks for all the help did have St202, sold it got GT 4ST205 now, got noisy charge cooler pump looking for one. Thanks looks like almost 500 quid for reconditioned one from GT4 play.
_Chris_ Posted 20 September 2022 Report Posted 20 September 2022 Worth trying TCB as well. www.tcbparts.co.uk They also do secondhand parts and loads that's not listed on the site.
