Ok, sure I will ask a local mechanic to do pressure test, as I don't have those tools myself. Also will do coolant drain from the radiator. And then will start getting into water pump and thermostat. Looks like a few things need to be done.... The temperature gauge is right in the middle. Radiator coolng fan works. Can try another radiator cap. just not sure if that is going to help, can try to put this one To replace the water pump, looks like I would need to move engine slightly from the bottom... that would be a tricky part for me... To take thermostat out, I would need to take belt pulley out. Has anyone done a change of thermostat here on the forum?

Hi Tony, yeah it is been sometime since I've been here.... It was crazy times in last few years, getting better now. I had covid two times and been dignosed with acid reflux lately, now trying to find what I can eat😥and what foods causing my heartburn... Getting better now. Thank you for asking. The fluid comes out quite fast, at the moment I just put a plug on the overflow pipe, in that way all liquid stays in the container. If not, then it takes about 15 min for overflow bottle to get empty. I've replaced it with a new one with 108 kPa, but nothing changed. The next thing would be to try and changed thermostat. I did not change coolant, usually I just top it up when it was getting low. Overflow bottle filled to the "Full" line. When it is hot, it could be just a bit more over the line, but not by too much.

My coolant is dripping through overflow pipe, to prevent a complete loss of coolant, at the moment I bloked the overflow pipe. So I don't lose the coolant. I've also changed the coolant radiator cap, but that did not help... Any other Ideas, suggestion to find, where could be the problem? 681872497_WhatsAppVideo2023-02-02at14_01_08.mp4

What transmission shop did you go to?

Excellent, thank you.

Which one is the cooler return line?

Good reviews for Top Shift Automatics and Knox Automatic Transmissions.

If you go to the mechanic, just bring your own ATF.

Another good video on changing ATF https://www.project200.com.au/atf-flush/ I also got to know that Toyota ATF is made by Idemitsu, Japan. The only thing which I'm not very clear, is that if it is synthetic or mineral ATF.

Indeed, very good price for spark plugs, you got. The last time i paid $63 and that was with eBay discount! Now there is 20% off, so comes to around $59.

What is the run on your car, that you are planning to change spark plugs?

Spark plugs on special, for AU $63.60 for six plugs, with the coupon PAMPER20 (20% off). Be quick, I think it is a very good price.

From where did you get the sensor, and what was the cost?

Well now it is even better deal, just for $29 it is the lowest price I've ever seen. Usually this kind special sales happen once every year, you just need to be patient and know the maximum lowest price it can go. If you miss out in the sale at Super cheap the similar sale will happen at Autobarn sometime later.

lol, sounds like a troll😉
