C_Strike Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 hey people.. to add to my run of issues with the supra this year i now seem to have had a leaky top hose which exhausted most of my coolant. iv just been to halfrauds, replaced a jubilee clip where the problem is and topped up the coolant to the max line. literally a two minute drive home and iv had to put more coolant in and am so far at 2 litres and the level is now only half way between max and min. im getting no wet patches coming from underneath the car. could this be trapped air or a fecked head? car pulls and drives as it always has and i cant smell the coolant through the exhaust. help would be much appreciated! im getting to the end of my patience with this car this year, id rather keep the car bur its just beginning to become impracticle. nb... my radiator is bubbling, you can hear it.. i have a vid of this if needed. cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz6002 Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 Stick a new Toyota rad cap on there and see what happens. Sounds like yours has failed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mellonman Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 Probably just expelling the air locks mate , but the heater matrix could be gone if your leaking and have no puddle under tha car try the passeger foot well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, use the Toyota one. Uprated ones are to blame for a lot of cooling system issues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
