That was a quick fix!

You should probably do the complete timing belt service, plus tune-up, etc. You're due. $900 for the belt & water pump is pretty high, but doesn't sound too horribly bad...it's mostly labor, actually. The belt itself is about $60. $3500 for the complete 90k service is not even close to the right price. I can't imagine the whole service being more than $1000-1200, worst case. Double check that price. Is it possibly they said $350 more, not $3500? $3500 is more like a new transmission price. Get it done at a Toyota dealer, you'll have Toyota Certified tech work on it, and if there's any issues, it'll be warrantied for awhile. Get it done elsewhere, and it'll be cheaper.

Didn't think about the tensioner...that could be it too. If so, you might as well replace the belt while you're getting that done (if that is the case).

That's about the only thing it could be...time to change the belt!

Congrats on the sale!! I'm surprised it took that long.

Welcome! Awesome car. How many miles do you have on it?

Pretty common problem actually. Especially if any of those discs are ones you burned yourself. If that's the case, you'll probably have to send the radio into Toyota.

That's good news...enjoy the drive!

Good luck!!

I've done that before...got the passenger footwell of one of my Supras completely soaking wet (car wash gone bad). After doing strange things for an hour or so, like power locks flipping on and off without hitting the button, and windows rolling down spontaneously, it eventually dried out and was completely fine.

I see you live in Toronto. Do the road crews use salt or sand on the roads? Salt corrodes alloy wheels, and is probably the cause of your issues. If you talk to some of your local dealers, they probably know a person that can refinish those wheels for you...it's just paint + clear coat.

Thanks for the follow-up post. Call XM. Sirius and XM are the same company, so you can use your XM headunit to play Sirius.

Hmmm...didn't say anything about overheating though. Wouldn't it start running hot if it needed a head gasket? I'd lean towards the valve seals, myself...

How many miles are on your car? And yes, if you're doing pads, it's a good idea to resurface the rotors too.

Beautiful car...I love those old Supras!

How about tinting your windows? Most people here in Vegas do that, and we have pretty much the same environment you do.

I think exceeding the weight limit by 7.4 lbs isn't going to hurt things. Toyota usually puts a lower limit on things than what the rack/hitch/cargo capacity, etc. can actually do.

Could be. You might want to have the Toyota guys just do the alignment...can't be much more than the $69 + $85 the tire guys want, and you'll have a Toyota Certified guy doing the work at Toyota.

Sounds like the rotors are warped. Time to at least resurface them!

Welcome!

Welcome!

Cute!

Did you check with TRD? www.trdusa.com Parts are Toyota parts, so warranty and fit are not an issue.

A couple observations: 1.) Squeaks, rattles, and small noises are the hardest thing to fix in any car. They are more difficult to isolate and properly fix than any mechanical issue. It's good that you were able to repair the issue yourself. 2.) Dealers get paid to fix your car...if you pay them or if Toyota pays them, they get paid...it's not like they're repairing your car for free even if it's a warranty repair issue. They don't care where the money comes from. If they did not want to fix your car, there may have been a little more to your story?
