That's normal, the engine is steaming.


There's a button by your left below the steering wheel, you'll see a traction button, hold for a bit while car is on... Should go off.

Regarding the check engine light, have your car scanned. Don't let road side mechanics touch anything without you doing a scan first.
okay Thank you very much. Please one last question. This Tank in the picture below is empty. I'm I supposed to fill it up with water?

oh yes please. Halfway, not filled to the brim. That's what cools your engine as you drive. Make sure you have water too in your radiator, that should be topped up to maximum.

Coolant fluid is recommended instead of water for both thr radiator and coolant tho,you can use water temporarily and then get coolant as soon as possible. Then replace coolant after a year of use or top of of needed.

My 2003 corolla ac stopped working(only blows hot air). I took it to a technician, he filled it with gas it started working again (only for 3 days). I took it to him yesterday, he said the top compressor is leaking and changed the top and topped gas, but the AC is still not working. He said the compressor is weak. I don tire. What can I do? I am in Awka Anambra State

Oil is always cheap (25k) vs replacing an engine (500k at least ) ....... Choose your poison ..... You bought a tokunbo car worth millions....but 25k or even 30k engine oil is too expensive....hmmmmmm

Choose wisely........

Pick your poison ....choose wisely......

I have seen different threads for different Makes of cars here but havent seen a strictly Toyota Thread (Maybe its somewhere hidden, but i've searched everywhere, even in Car Talk library). So I decided to start this thread.

Are you a Toyota user? Do you love Toyotas? This is the thread for you.

Ask questions. Discuss problems. Make observations. Share tips.

I believe we can learn a thing or two from fellow Toyota users/lovers here...

While commenting, this format will be greatly appreciated. State...

MODEL:
YEAR:
A.K.A (if any):
ENGINE:

Then flow with your comment!

(if possible, accompany your comment with a picture of your ride)

The 2 signs directly under your Temperature Guage indicate that someone kept the metallic cup used in selling oil on top of your battery, and it's now dripping oil on top of your battery. To fix it, simply open your bonnet and remove the cup.

The sign under your Tachometer shows that someone drew an exclamation mark in one of your cup holders. Park and carefully inspect the cup holders of your car, wipe the exclamation mark with a damp cloth.

Lastly, the sign at the bottom right corner indicates a helicopter is following you, park and check the skies.

Your car is in top shape.

Nothing is apparently wrong with your engine. Pump your tyres to spec or just 40psi. If the orange light doesn't go away, them your tpms sensors need replacing.

Recently, my AC would only give desired out put when on top speed. Once I'm driving slow it becomes like only fan is running.

My check engine light also always coming up even after due servicing.

Any advice on what to do?

Your AC needs to be checked.
As for your check engine light you need a scan.
