I've got a big rear end, so even off I half rear end something, that's still a lot of rear end.

The melted looking belt makes me think it was a pulley which failed. The belts generally outlive the pulleys.

And people gladly will pay Toyota tax for an old clapped out Toyota where the PO has poo poo like that lurking in the engine bay. 240,000! It's just broken in!

BloodBag posted:And people gladly will pay Toyota tax for an old clapped out Toyota where the PO has poo poo like that lurking in the engine bay. 240,000! It's just broken in! Yeah, but while every Toyota engine has its inherent singular major design flaw, most of them are easily remedied at low cost. The post-1985 22R/RE/RET is known for having a timing chain that lasts about as long as a belt before it wears into a coolant passage, even then the motor will continue to run on coolantshake oil until the chain skips enough teeth for valves to touch pistons. You can usually only tell because the engine overheats like this. If one has this problem but it hasn't discovered what interference means, the solution is to replace the chain, guides, tensioner, timing cover, and fluids, no other repairs are necessary and the majority of failures are due to the stock guides being plastic while replacements are steel-backed. A 22R with steel guides and/or dual row chain conversion (or dual row from factory for pre-1985), will not die until its thrown all four rods through the block. The v6 from the same era, the 3VZ-E, the ancestor to the 5VZ in those pictures, is prone to headgasket failures. It's my understanding (having not owned a 3wheezy) most of the time you only need to replace the gaskets and gently coax the exhaust crosspipe away from the backs of the heads to fix it and prevent future failures. I think this was corrected when the revised 3VZ-FE came out, but I don't know for sure. Fermented Tinal fucked around with this message at 14:49 on Feb 13, 2017 |

I recall that the 3S-FE in my '89 camry had a timing gear tension spring that would love to fail and make the engine sound like a diesel from the valvetrain noise. Kinda wish I still had that old shitbox, kinda. It had a really nice interior and it had a cool steering wheel tilt feature I've never seen on another car since.

The 80's Toyota steering column with tilt, memory tilt and telescoping wheel was the greatest thing ever and every time I get into a newer car that is missing those features I get incredibly annoyed. My loving base model, 25 year old Celica had it.

Ours was great because not only did it sometimes trap the key in the column until you wiggled the steering wheel a bunch, but every time you got out of the car it would whip itself into the bottom of the gauge binnacle with a super loud BANG.

I got stuck behind this van the other day, yes the window is wood that's been painted black.  It's like a pirate van.  This car belongs to someone in my apartment complex and has been like this since the summer. both of the power windows seem to have died and gotten stuck so this persons solution was plastic bags and tape. Not a bad idea in a pinch but come on, it's not that expensive to fix. At the very least you'd think they could pop the door panels open and manually raise the windows.

I hate doing interior work because all that poo poo seems so fiddly. I don't know what kind of tools I'm going to need, or what I'm going to break and need more of. Also I'd never know to shop for a "regulator." And if you live in the ghetto and you gotta do the work in your apartment parking lot at 11:30pm knowing you gotta have the poo poo driveable before 7am so you can get to your job at Hardee's.... I remember being poor. It sucks. And you don't get to build a base of experience when your job isn't wrenching and you got no time for a hobby.

The guy who parks beside me has had his window half down all winter and I can understand why. Its against condo rules to be working on your car in the parking lot and while it's like a 30 minute job popping a door card out for most of us, alot of these guys are going to need like a half day to figure it out and invariably attract the attention of the dickbag condo board president. Most poo poo I don't even bother doing if the car is drivable because nothing says "come up and rob me" like standing in the parking lot in the evening with a shitload of tools in a box you can just run up and grab.

You just got to make the box as heavy as possible so once they grab it they're relegated to walking at the fastest.

Is there any possible mechanism of failure that would cause a 2001 Passat to eat its right front suspension repeatedly? I know that 'being a Volkswagen' and 'being an awful driver' are definitely on the table. E: It was a cracked axle initially, and the replacement either cracked immediately or was cracked from the get-go. After a good axle was finally fit, it made it about five months and then turned up a bent control rod. It's starting to worry me. ArcMage fucked around with this message at 21:33 on Feb 14, 2017 |

The LCAs on b5 passats are a common failure point and failure to install them exactly correctly (I want to say you need to do certain things it the car on the ground) leads to even quicker failure. The car also hates being lowered.

nm posted:When you says suspension, what do you mean? I edited details in, but, when doing shocks we found a cracked axle, and the replacement axle cracked essentially immediately somehow, and when it was in to have the left front wheel bearing done they discovered a bent control rod. So probably didn't mean suspension and instead meant 'things associated with right front wheel'. So far as I know it hasn't been lowered. It also just had the rear axle and right rear hub done after a sweet old lady drove directly into me, but I don't think that adventure resulted in anything else.

Yep, that's the big six bolt pattern from 2.5 ton rockwells not the little one from yota and half ton chevy/FSJ axles. He probably snapped the kingpins or knuckles, that happens when you abuse those axles too much. As for ripping off the chassis... time to find a YouTube video  E: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yHlS7OPkTkU Description and video are both premium sister-fucker content.
