Christian Brothers in Ken Caryl. I think I’m going to start using Toy-Auto Masters in Englewood. My timing belt only has 35k on it. Wish the person I bought this from would have done the FB while he was in there.

Shop just told me it needs a new Engine Cooling Fan Clutch and Engine Cooling Fan Pulley Bracket. Quoting me $238 for the clutch, $366 for the bracket, and $955 for the labor.... $1,587 after taxes...

@2001LC Amazing! I had also been wondering about the fan. I couldn't tell if I was imagining it, or if it visually stuttered a bit when the noise got bad in one of the videos. I tried wiggling/spinning it own my own and didn't feel any play or hear any noise.

Video of engine sound As the title says, I’m trying to diagnose this noise. It started a few weeks ago in the middle of some extreme cold. Coolant levels looks good, heat is running fine. It does speed up with higher RPMs but I can’t tell if it really goes away or is masked by ambient noise...

Haha they just sent me a picture of the broken “housing” …

I just talked to the shop. They said that the base of the housing broke, not the rod. They told me that Lexus told them they can’t replace just the housing but have to replace the housing and the cylinder. I’m calling Toyota to confirm that last statement and to get all quote from them

T Thank you!

I put my key into the ignition and it turned through the ignition point without anything happening ing. It was obvious the lock cylinder needed to be replaced. I had it towed to the local shop and this is what they came back with. I haven’t asked them why they are charging $1k for the housing, too.

Does $2k to replace an ignition cylinder and housing seem ridiculous? I got this quote from my local Christian Brothers. I expected it to be closer to $500 based on the research I did.

Looking at a 100 series. Overall, looks clean except for this thing underneath. What is this a part of and how critical is it?

I had a crazy fix to this… I manually locked and unlocked the doors repeatedly and that seemed to loosen up whatever was physically sticking and now everything works fine. I might take the panels off and try to oil the moving parts to see if that helps. File this under “better to be lucky than...

Got everything sorted today. Flushed multiple times with distilled water. Toyota red put back in. Thanks for all of the input.

Ok so both HOAT and IAT contain silicates?

And sorry to have bogarted this thread, I just didn’t want to create another if a similar discussion was already happening somewhere.

This is what I found as the ingredients in the Red and Pink coolants. Doesn’t this make the red abs IAT and not an OAT? What Are the Ingredients of Each Coolant? Toyota Pink Super Long Life Coolant: Water (7732-18-5) Ethylene Glycol (107-21-1) Diethylene Glycol (111-46-6) Sebacic Acid...
