Chechem:Go for benz C kompressor for good fuel economy and comfort .Most importantly Benz security will keep your mind and soul at peace unlike Corolla. |

Dear car gurus. My toyota highlander overheated dis morning as i saw smokes coming out frm my bonnet. I pulled over nd opend my bonnet only to discover dat water in my radiator was really boiling dat it threw off d radiator cap nd d full water in my reservoir dried up. I'v only driven 5 mile b4 dis happened. This has never hapnd in 3yrs v bn using vehicle. I called my kazeem nd he suggested i remove my thermostat to save cost nd stop d overheating or i shud change my follow come radiator to double cell. I'm confused on wat to do d reason i brot dis matter. I'v driven ds car for good 3 yrs nd v bn using coolant, synthetic oil.

ik121:Were the cooling fans running when this happened?? What year is your highlander? 4 cylinder or V6 |
| Re: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by ik121: 11:14am On Sep 03, 2018 |
thebigkendo:its a v6 2004 Highlander Boss. The fan comes up only wen engine is hot. |

Please what is the price of radiator fan for ML500 benz, 2003 model. Pls I need urgent reply, thanks |
| Re: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by thebigkendo(m): 1:45pm On Sep 03, 2018 |
ik121:I suspect either your cooling fans failed to come on or your thermostat was stuck close. -Ask oga rewire to test both fan motors, if they check out fine. -He should use a multimeter to test the 3 fan relays and the 2 temperature switches(in boiling water and normal water) -You can also crudely test your Thermostat by dropping it inside boiling water for some time, all things being equal it should opens. NB It's possible you checked your coolant level & did not replace the radiator cap back correctly, that could cause overheating also |

My Toyota Camry 2010 makes cracking noise whenever I put it on gear and on reverse, what could be the priblem |
| Re: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by GAZZUZZ(op): 3:24pm On Sep 03, 2018 |
ik121:someone forgot to place the cover on your radiator. no matter how hot an engine is, the pressure cap will never leave it's installed position if locked properly in place. currently you Might Might be able to escape with a slap on the wrist. Just pour water into the Radiator and continue driving, if after 1 week you do not notice any misfires, or buildup of oil under the pressure cap, then drain the water, and install toyota coolant. good luck. |

I'm really grateful GAZZUZ nd thebigkendo. I guess fault was mine. |
| Re: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by radautoworks: 7:58pm On Sep 03, 2018 |
GAZZUZZ:Best advice so far. Loose cap caused this |
| Re: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by radautoworks: 8:01pm On Sep 03, 2018 |
Ojemedad:If by cracking you mean a loud thump or thud maybe along with a jerk, check your motor mounts. |
