Stormyweather: GAZZUZZ please help, 05 Highlander recently seizes one of the back tire. It feels like something is dragging it, hence, the car won't move freely. I was thinking it's because of the numerous mud like water the car has entered but what do I know.
I am unable to locate where to check the transmission fluid level and conditions of this Camry 2012. PSF container is no where to be found as well.
Also for the two other pix, it strangely looks to me as if the serpentine belt is wound the wrong way at those places I highlighted. It's as if it ran behind, instead of upon that part I pointed to (no idea of the name).
etebefia: Gazzuzz please I need your help. Yesterday while driving (Hyundai sonata 2011), I suddenly heard a strange noise. I pull over to check and to my surprise I discovered that my Coolant reserve container was seriously boiling out Oil mixed with the coolant. The boiling pressure, so I decided to start the car again to check the temperature, the temperature gauge was normal but I tried to push the engine and immediately the the gauge crossed the normal line and entered the half way mark. I allowed the car to cool and cleaned up the radiator cap and coolant reservoir of oil, filled some water and manage to drive home. Today I checked my engine oil and it has gone down, obviously it was the engine oil that mixed with the coolant. Please what do you think is the problem and how do I go about repairing this. Thank you so much.
you have a long road to recovery. First all elements that caused the overheating have to be replaced and fixed (radiator, fans ) then the big job. Aluminum engines don't fare well with overheating, you will have to rebuild the present engine (not DIY) you will need a technician that has access to a machine shop to rebuild the head cylinder. good luck
