Toyota no longer publishes paper manuals...

the inlet to the thermostat (where the words are pointing in the picture), is closed off until around 176° in which case it allows the coolant to pass through the radiator. Otherwise the coolant is mostly flowing around the engine block, bypass tube, heater core, and oil cooler.

 

Thanks for the info all. Really would like to get my hands on a FSM. I see them on eBay and other websites but they are expensive and I don’t trust that I will get what I am buying.

 

There are still some links floating around online with some of the manuals. An easier way, is to join toyota TIS for a day and download it right from the horses mouth.

 

Will definitely be doing that then. Thanks JimmyH and 6gear
