Vitz radiator motor replacement

[Sameera Kumarasinghe]

Toy#ta L#nka recommended replacing the radiator motor on my Vitz. They quoted me around 40,000/=, but it feels overpriced compared to what I’ve seen elsewhere. Does that sound reasonable to you?

I am sorry but what is a radiator motor ? Are you talking about the electronic fan motor?
If you are talking about the fan motor (TOYOTA part number : 16363-28150), the DENSO fan in Japan is about 17000yen at the Toyota dealer. So 40,000LKR at Toy#ta L#nka I would say is reasonable. 
Now...can you find used motors in Delkanda, Panchi, etc.. ? Yes...
Can a "genuine" part be bought outside for cheaper ? Also yes...some will be fake...some will be a compatible substitute part that is made in Thailand.
Can you find an after-market part for cheaper ? Also yes.

Will these work just as well as the original DENSO ? A genuine substitute, used or even an aftermarket part probably will. A used one might last for 10 years (just as the other options would) or just 2 months...
You need to determine which option suits you best by doing your own risk to value-utility assessment. 

All I would say is stay away from the fake stuff.
