Random facts:
The McLaren F1’s engine bay is lined with 16g of gold as a great deflector. Gold is the best reflector of heat, and the F1’s engine runs very hot. ���

HeavenlyBang: I've never actually owned one but they're pretty cool places to be in. Great seats, and some progressive technology in them.
I'll see if I can find one to test drive. Shame they just aren't popular in my side of the country. Hell, I don't think they're popular in any part of the country. Only spotted a few XC90's and S60's around here. They're big in Texas. Check one out |

herrlekan: Sorry for the late response, the lower ball joint was fixed on Thursday and the car was picked up on Saturday afternoon. That was last week to be precise. I didn't leave empty handed, bought a 5quarts Carquest 5w-20 conventional oil. I'm still coming back for the Trans automatic transmission stop leak oil. Glad to hear you are back on the road. Let us know if you have any other issues. Don't forget to leave us a review on Google or Facebook please  |

HeavenlyBang: Just get the most expensive Volvo on the market. It'll be about as good as a Corolla of the same year. Volvo is yet to make a true Camry competitor.  the hate is strong with this one. Volvo is a luxury car and for decades the safest cars in the market |

Sure.. if you tell me what car this is  MobilityExpress: Can I get an estimate labor cost for replacing/fixing the following at the same time: - front lower arms - front and rear stabilizer linkages - front brake pads - front and rear abs sensors - front and rear disc plates - front and rear brake wear sensors - coolant expansion tank replacement - steering wheel controls (fixing). The volume controls etc, stopped working. And when it works it fails or presses wrongly.
I already have the replacement parts. So just labor costs. |

seyi42k: Thank you very much for your response. I really appreciate it.
I learnt another lesson today. When I informed my colleague about the leaking radiator, he asked if I added the coolant to the radiator when it was hot. I then remember that was exactly what I did. Never remembered that such could be a problem.
I remembered draining the radiator of the water which was already hot at that point and immediately adding coolant which probably excerbated any latent problem. He further advised that since my dashboard as not indicated an overheating engine, that I should save money by sealing the leak of at best, change the top.
As for the diagnosis of the rings, the mechanic workshop I usually take my car to usually suggest changing parts if it could be afforded by the client. I did not ask them why they suggested a change of rings but I will when I get back there next time. Although I suspect that since it is a very common issue with Camry 07 - 09, which necessitated an extended warranty from Toyota, Re-ringing of the engine was a fairly common solution.
Once again, thanks for the engagement. Okay so you're going with number 1 replace the tank. Sealing some last long. I guess what I meant was did they actually take the engine apart to check the rings? What you described sounds like it would be fixed by valve cover gasket. If they didn't, it makes no sense to suggest that based on what you told me. Before you go ringing, find out how that diagnosis came about. |
