sorry, this happened. You likely have a head gasket issue. Your coolant is getting burned off. What's your exhaust fume like.


Vapor most times

Clean , no smoke.

From observations today,noticed it takes long before the fan picks. Temperature goes so high then comes down to the middle of the gauge , then same occurs per time.

Guessed it's a failed thermostat


Got a good rewrite to Run the fans directly, test driving tomorrow to see it it fixes the issue.

If it does, a thermostat replacement is way to go.

What do you think?

he said he bought it mid may. This is July. He may have bought a car with a defective engine.


The constant disappearance of the coolant is a pointer the engine or components had a major issue.

I Refill the coolant container every 2 days

The only day I forgot to top up the coolant (was the day the issue started.

New Radiator cap now, new radiator, fans run directly now...I pray if should fix it all.

no, it won't. It will only mask it till it can mask it no more. The culprit is in the engine. Mostly the top. Go and fix it. Change your top gasket.

you are making a headway. Replace the thermostat. If you can't source a good one, remove it for now. Better ur engine runs cold till you provide another thermostat than overheating. However, if you use coolant, faulty thermostat can't explain disappearance of the fluid.

Choose RX350 year 2007-2009 or if you can afford higher then buy RX350 year 2010-2013 they are super.

Thank me later as they are quite durable & not problematic if you buy non-accidental & error free engine from onset

Hello guys.. So I noticed the ac of my 2010 es350 wasn't chilling as it used to and went to an ac repairer and it was established that there was leakage. I asked him to fix. He used an electronic sniffer across my components and concluded my condenser was the culprit. I asked him to change it. He did and recharged the system. Everything seemed normal again until after about 3 weeks when I noticed a drop again in the chill level. I took to him. He changed the expansion valve and recharged again. For a few hours it seemed ok. When the sun was high, it dropped. Zero chill. But if I switch off the ac for a few seconds and switch back on, it would chill for like five minutes and then drop again. I took it back to him immediately. He then hit me news that I've been finding difficulty grasping: bro your compressor no good, we suppose change am! Please guys could this be possible? A car barely 2 yrs, never had issues and then this. Also if true, pls what's the cost of a replacement compressor?

Did he use gauges to diagnose and refill? Did he use a vacuum pump to pull out all air before refilling? Do you currently have black death?
