6G Celicas Forums

Well, my radiator is cracked and my car is overheating. I am thinking is the thermostat plug that is linked to the fan. Do you know any places where i can buy a good and cheap radiator.

Thanks guys!

Hey! thanks for the suggestions. i would definitely look into these two options. the second one sounds good. well a little over my budget but i think it is affordable after all.

Hi! guys...Well i am looking for a new car stereo for my celica. i sent my old alpine 7892 to my little brother so i don't have a stereo right now installed in my car. I've been looking for an alpine radio and i found the alpine 9884 at cruthfield but it is out of stock. Would you recommend any other brands and references that i can look at right now? What about a JVC but i don't know how good this brand is. I am just a big fan of Alpine but i need some music in my car ASAP. My budget is 200 bucks.

Thanks guys.

i actually have the three buttom banana look remote. i know my car has a buttom next to the steering wheel left hand side you have to press that buttom in a sequence to program the remote.

Hi guys i have a 1998 celica. my keyless remote just broke so i went to the dealership to buy a new remote well i paid 47 bucks for and they were going to charge 50 dollars for programming my remote when i know it takes less than a minute to do so. A guy did it for my the first time i lost my remote but i don't know how to do it. could somebody share the programming sequence!!! thanks very much.

is there any way to test the actuator?

So how much is the actuator gonna cost, Do you know? is it really easy to change. Where is located?

well right now the cruise control light just blinks. i tried resetting the ecu removing one of the batteries cables but it didn't work. i know that sometimes the actuator gets broken and somebody mentioned a sensor but that's all the information that i have right know.

Hi guys!! my cruise control stopped working so i would like to fix it. Doesn't somebody know how to diagnose this problem. i really need it when i am going to school on the speedway. any input would be very appreciated. thanks

Hi guys!! i need some help with this a/c installation that i am doing in my old 5th generation celica. the car didn't come with a/c so i've been planning on doing this for long time. well i am not a mechanic and i don't have a lot experience but i found this a/c installation manual which tells you how to do it, it is a toyota manual by the way. the other thing is that i am getting an a/c from a wrecked celica 92 but i don't know what parts to get. i know i can use the compresor and the cooling unit but there are few other parts that i should get new or rebuilt i just don't remember. Could you guys help me with any ideas or input about this. thanks very much!!

go to the toyota dealer in your area, they will provide you with a new remote and also will program the remote for you. that's what i did when i lost mine.

thanks guys for your help!!

does anybody know the bolts size if you want to pull out the rotors. i know it can be done with couple of bolts but i forgot the size. maybe 15 mm bolts?

Thanks guys!! that's what i was thinking so i'll find couple of caps or bolts. appreciate your help.

any inputs about silla radiators? are they any good? the price for one of these would be around 120 bucks...very good considering that one radiator at autozone is like 150....i need to change mi radiator in near future so any help is appreciated. thanks

Ok guys! took my car to the mechanic and he took a look at the timig belt said that the belt looks good and that he changed the tensioner which was the pinion i talked about before. the answer he gave me about the weird noise is that the belt needs to strech out a little so that would take care of it. The rubber burning like smell is a leaking radiator so i am looking for one right now. the crack is really small so do you think i can use an epoxy patty to fix it for now?. Do you recommend any radiator's brand or should i go oem or koyo? i heard about silla radiators. are they any good?


Thanks for your inputs about this subjet they were very helpful.

well guys i haven had time to take my car back to the mechanic but now besides the weird noise i have this rubber burning smell like coming out my hood. Could this smell be one of the belts? now the sound is more like a high pitched sound.....weird

Thanks for your past and future inputs.

ok so just in case the problem is the belt tensioner or tensioners what would be the risk if don't fix that right away? would the timing belt brake loose if i don't repair the tensioners?

get your fluid to the right level. the same thing happened to me!!

right it is a pinion......it goes some place in the camshaft and holds the timing belt, the mechanic said that the one changed wasn't the original part so he had to heat and remove the old one by force. i was thinking about overtighten belts or the timing belt could be slipping.

well it was changed:

timing belt.
water pump with full housing(oem).
all seals related to this job.
alternator and a/c belt.
and something else looks lake a bearing but with "teeth" if you know what i mean.

so i got my car back after my mechanic changed the timing belt but now i can hear this weird noise when the rpm's increase say when i push my gas pedal. It is a high pitched sound. actually my 5fse engine sounds like it had 200 horse power now . Well guys any ideas about what could be wrong? maybe an overtighten belt. I know i should take my car back to my mechanic but i just want some opinions so if he lies to me and try to make some more on me saying..... ohhhh well this is wrong is gonna cost you now this much..i can reply with an intelligent answer. To be honest a just expended 450 dollars on this timing belt job and don't wanna expend more.

Thanks guys in advance.
