95 Camry LE. The water outlet got corroded,so i have to replace it.thing is, every auto parts that i go to ,they have it listed as just a straight tube for the hose to connect on to. Mine though, has like 3 sensors,4 hoses connected to it. I saw this one on Ebay that looks exactly like it,but it says it's for a 3sfe.http://www.ebay.com/itm/150572891089?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1438.l2649 What's going on here? This is located on the driver side,near the dist.
 
What month was your car made? If it is July of 95 and earlier it is PN 16331-03043. If it is made in August or later in 95 it is 16331-03060. If it was made in Japan it is 16331-74170. If you look up the cross part numbers of the above PNs, it comes up as the 3sfe engine, but not the PN in the ebay link.

Use www.toyotapartseast.com as either a guide or a cheap source for real OEM.

Also, I've said this many times on here...don't substitute Toyota coolant for anything else. Never use tap water or a silicate based alternative on a Toyota. Use the Red LLC concentrate only. Once its diluted 50/50 with distilled its not that expensive. Drain and fill every 40k and you will stay corrosion free forever.

So there's a chance it might be a 3sfe and not a 5sfe?
 
The '95 Camry is the XV10 style, and the Wikipedia article doesn't indicate that the 3S-FE (2.0L) engine was ever available in this generation of Camry (it would have had the 5S-FE, the 2.2L).

The only '95 Camry that had the 3S-FE was the V40 line, which was not sold in the United States.

Is it possible that someone had swapped a 3S-FE at some point in the past.

Here is the fitment of 16331-03043, scroll to the Product Fitment/Applications at the bottom.

As you can see it fits many vehicles, including the 96 rav 4, which used the 3s-fe, but that ebay part number does not match the part numbers in my first post, I believe that ebay part number is for a 2nd generation camry (2.0 L). Not sure why there are so many water outlet part numbers for a single engine.
