Hard Fuel lines and brake lines - 6G Celicas Forums

6th Generation Celica › Engine/Transmission/Maintenance
From your pictures, it looks like the only thing that is leaking is the rusted fuel return line right near the rubber hose. If this is the only leak, I would just cut the steel tube above the rusted ...

I don't think they can check service records like that unless it is related to a recall. Maybe there is something new though?

they always seem to show some symtoms, like bearing
noise, leaking, or running warmer than normal. The one in my truck went

There is no service interval for the pump. Most people change it when the timing belt is replaced since they are cheap, there is very little additional work, and you will have to repeat most of the w...

You don't have to cycle the fuel pump or remove any lines if you run out of gas. The fuel pump will prime itself and the car will start as long as you add fuel to the tank. The crank pulley bolt usu...

If you mess with the EGR, the service engine light will come on, cylinder temperatures will be too high and the car would likely fail any emission test. It isn't going to make the car faster or incre...

All brake fluid is synthetic. 'Synthetic' has become a marketing term, and it really doesn't have much meaning anymore. Just make sure you are not using DOT 5 silicone brake fluid. Like the other p...

The lines usually lose most if not all pressure within 24 hours. Fuel will still remain in the lines though, even though there is no pressure. It could be in the supply or return lines. If you hav...

If you make a lot of short trips, water can build up in the exhaust system. I've never heard of any problems due to freezing, but it can cause (or accelerate) corrosion over time. Especially if it i...

How much brake fluid? - 6G Celicas Forums

6th Generation Celica › Suspension/Handling/Braking
A quart should be plenty to flush the old fluid out. The system probably holds somewhat less than a quart, but the exact amount depends on how much the disc brakes are worn. As the brakes wear, the ...

There is no way your engine would run if the sprocket key was really broken. The sprocket would just slip on the shaft and the valves would not open and close. I think you are mistaking the key for ...
