coolant

Hey all, Title says it all. Basically my LC engine was making a squeaking sound when the engine got warmed up. Then the higher the rpm's the faster the squeak got. I took it to a local shop here in Austin, explained the symptoms to the mechanic. Coincidentally on my 16mi drive to the shop the...

Hello! I'm a pretty new Land Cruiser owner and getting to know this vehicle has been super fun but I've never worked on cars up until now. I have this coolant leak that starts going wild very randomly but when it starts leaking, it goeeeees... I believe I found the source of the leak but I don't...

Been scratching my head over coolant plumbing after de-smog. I got MAF headers, and their heat riser to apply to the underside of the stock intake manifold. I'm being told to supply the heat riser coolant from the heater valve on the firewall, which is supplied by (or returns to?) the steel...

My mechanic was doing some repairs on my 1995 TLC and he noticed some dirty oil in the bottom of the side coolant reservoir. (I think that this is the part circled in red in the attached photo). He wasn't sure how this occured, or if it means that this is a sign of a bigger problem with the...

Can anyone please help me locate the coolant block drain location on 2B. I've searched exhaustively in MUD and an online and I've found schematics that show the location but I can't find it. I've creeped all over from every angle. I'm sure I'm looking right at it and not realizing. Found...

Hi guys! Newbie to this forum. I have a 75 fj40 that has been restored. After driving it and it sets for a few minutes, antifreeze leaks out of the reservoir drain hose. Any ideas on why this happens and possible fixes? Thank you in advance.

We have a '73 FJ that runs really cold for the first 5 minutes. It has a 2F engine in it with a rebuilt Holley 2 Barrel carb. I have to start it and let it idle for about 5 minutes to get it to run right. It is almost like it is being starved of fuel. Once it is warmed up, everything is...

Hello folks. Been experiencing variou coolant leak issues after having my timing belt changed a few hundred miles ago in December. Almost immediately after I picked up the cruiser after the timing belt/water pump job, I noticed a consistent leak under the rig. Turned out that the water inlet...

All, I am inspecting a possible '04 purchase. The truck had a timing belt done about 15k miles ago and clearly the mechanic used green coolant. Ignoring this fact I noticed some potential leaks in the following areas. Whatre your thoughts on the sources? I'd hate to buy a truck and have to go...

Title of the thread states it all really. Whilst diagnosing fuel/starting issues, I've come across 2 wires. one being white and the other being green, and it's a 2 pin plug. The plug in the water outlet housing is fine, nothing wrong with it, but its just the other end, wire have either been cut...

Could anyone help identify what this piece of gasket I found in my radiator might be? I replaced my PHH after a failure last week (bypassed with Gates green & Breeze clamps) and also replaced my thermostat and radiator cap at the same time. I cleaned the coolant reservoir and did 3 flushes of...

This coolant pipe has a slow leak and I'm trying to find if it has a replaceable O-ring or if I need the housing. I tried looking on the Toyota website parts section for my truck but couldn't find it in the engine/cooling system section. This is behind the t-stat housing assembly just under and...

I am starting this open discussion to document the issues with my GX. Hopefully it will be helpful for others. I have noticed an abnormal consumption of coolant (2004 with 204,433K). It's "winter" here in Northern OH and my truck sits outside. It's a daily driver so I have cold starts every...

Doing a starter today... good times. Pro tip: have one of these on-hand when doing a starter: 90980-11400. If you know, you know. Anyway... can anyone tell me what the name/number is for the this small s-shaped coolant hose on the bottom of the throttle body area?

Finally wrapping up this rebuild project which of course turned into a rabbit hole. Replaced all coolant hoses, new Toyota OEM clamps, etc. Reinstalled radiator this morning, added coolant and fired her up, and I’ve got a steady drip coming down the front driver’s side of the engine. I...

My LX570 has ~190,000 and has been losing coolant recently. I noticed that there is coolant residue in the area shown in the photo. Where it is likely leaking from?

Does it matter what radiator fluid I use. 1983 FJ40. I'm using Valvoline for Toyota but it says 1990 and above.

Is there a preferred coolant for the 3FE engine? 1991 FJ80, all I know is what's in there now is green and only good to -7F according to the hygrometer. It's clean, I'm thinking if nothing special is necessary for coolant I will drain some out of the radiator, add propylene glycol concentrate...

After years of smiles per gallon I found a puddle on the ground after a good 24 hours of sub freezing temps. I had driven her short distance that day . Fluids look fine. Carpet is dry as is the floor underneath. There was coolant all over the y pipes and nearby surfaces. Rinse run and cant seem...
