AutoMoTech:
� you are so on point... However let me add the additives in coolant also help lubricate the water pump and this is very important to help the pump last long...

I think the anti-freez also raises the boiling temperature of water.

AutoMoTech:
Exactly... Considering the radiator cap raises the pressure of the water, the water in a properly functioning cooling system will never boil as is boiling point would have been raised due to the pressure build up.
OP kindly start with the simplest things
1. Find a tech that knows his stuff.
2. Pressurize the system. Check for leaks or a drop in pressure.
3. Inspect radiator cap.
4. Inspect hoses while vehicle idles at operating temperature.
5. Check your gear oil and engine oil to be sure water is not leaking into the engine ir transmission.


Atleast start with these first

After the gasket was changed, oil was found in the coolant while water was found on the engine oil dipstick Also, there were signs of water in the engine combustion chamber.

The radiator cap and hoses looked OK without any signs of leak.

I just had a look at my tyres and found the following markings. Can anyone help out with the meanings from the codes?

Google stripped bolt 2az-fe. Toyota

3 threads at the back of the block have stripped, replacing gaskets with original metal or graphite will not solve problem.

Engine needs to visit a machine shop for repair of the threads on the block.

WE had the mechanics look at the threads and they were OK. The gasket was changed again and the issues still persisted.

Any other ideas will be greatly appreciated

MotorGuru:
Sir, this is the problem affecting your vehicle.

Follow the suggestion as stated by Gazzuzz and you will be fine.

Good evening

I opened the hood of my corolla 2010 car today and found out that the radiator coolant in the reservoir is empty.
1) Do I just top up the coolant or do I need to totally flush and replace it.
2) What brand of coolant should I use

Thanks so much

Thanks so much... I really appreciate this.

GAZZUZZ:
confirm if the condition started with over heating.

Confirm if there is a history of head gasket change

Confirm if engine is V6 or 4cylinder

The condition didn't start with overheating.
The gasket has never been changed.
The engine is 4cylider.

Though the gasket that was removed was warped slightly.

autologic:
Find out why the headgasket got broken in the first instance cos headgasket will not got broken unless there is a hidden fault and it until fault is discovered and removed you can go ahead to perform a successful engine rebuild or else it still back to square one .
Also the extent of warpage to the cylinder due to the overheating need to be ascertained so that proper corrective action will need to be taken in course of engine rebuild work. .

OK.. we'll do as you say.. thanks for the advice.

What exactly is this engine rebuild.

bluebay:
The gasket is leaking sir ..

Thanks.. That's what everyone is saying...

Good morning house,

I have a challenge, my brother’s car (Toyota Camry 2007) has an engine problem and the mechanics have been unable to fix it. Water always disappears from the radiator without us knowing where the water goes. Two weeks ago, water droplets were noticed on the engine oil dipstick. The mechanics that looked at it claimed it was the head gasket and my brother paid for the gasket to be changed but unfortunately the problem became worse because not only was there still water on the engine oil dipstick, engine oil was also found to be floating in the radiator.

I decided to bring this issue to the gurus in the house for possible diagnosis and solution. Any suggestion(s) would be welcomed.

Thanks

WHY ALL THE KERFUFFLE by Ya'll

Its the double standard that is perpetrated by evil women and sissy men.

LadyMarionette:
Yes, it's absolutely safe. I'm assuming you're asking if it would be threatening your life. It won't. So if you're marrying for love, go ahead. But if you want a baby factory, you should educate yourself about the prospects of a 40 year old woman meeting your needs.

Must you lie?

Its a huge risk and he should not walk blindly into it.

The phone's worth every penny though.. it's better,faster, durable, cheaper than all these defective mainstream devices

A phone you are yet to use for more than 6months is durable.

I'm not saying the phone is not good but let's stick to what we know.

Don't mind these guys who think more with their third legs.

I'm glad that the number of marriages that takes place in registry from Thursday's to Saturdays are getting higher daily.

Most churches also don't wed couples without their registry certificate. Reasonable men too, prefer the registry first before traditional and church/nikai.

Let the dreamers dream on, if you want divorce based on whatever allegation, be ready to share the property and pay alimony.

This shows you got married to him for the money.

themodernman:
I don't know why we guys are like this Most ladies have helped me in my time of need without me even thinking of them demanding me do one ridiculous thing for them. Most women are actually kinda nice if you don't know....I've received help from most of them....yet we're here yabbing them when they need ours, trying to indirectly get in their panties by saying "am I your boyfriend?"

If you no get just say so and move on instead of looking for what to trend with.

People need to be strong in this new world we live in, imagine if that lady was going through hell coupled with this insult, it's a quick recipe for suicide and some goats will still laugh at it...

stupidity everywhere... why are most guys not financially stable at 25?

Dumb hypocritical hoe .

What stops most Nigerian girls from being independent at 25 also. Both guys and girls live in the same country and are both exposed to the same challenges


Why are most Nigerian females destined to be liabilities in their lives.

That's a good step in the right direction..



A lot of those so-called expertriates are actually illegal immigrants who come and stay in Nigeria under shady circumstances.

They are all over the oil and aviation sectors earning salaries in several millions of Naira per month with all sorts of additional mouth watering benefits to go along with their plum jobs.

To make matters worse, these illegal immigrants even treat Nigerians with so much contempt and disdain in Nigeria.

Churchill brother why come into the matter.

The relationship was between Tonto and Churchill.

Why come to heat up a broken relationship this dead hour?

Churchill source of wealth is questionable judging from the way his uncle Ex-President Olusegun Obasanjo looted the national treasury embezzling money meant for the power sector amounting to 16 billion USD.

Churchill brother did the right thing. He has to protect his elder brother from the devil called Tonto.

This Tonto has been saying a lot of bad things about Churchill. Churchill is a quiet and gentle man and that devil called Tonto has been taking advantage of his gentility.

I would do the same thing if I was Churchill's brother.
