Hi guys i was surfing on the web and i found this great forum i know im new here and maybe doesnt look good to ask for help when you just register but i will try here is is the history of my camry.
bought this car on the end of year 2006 engine blew off after 1 week never kenw what happen refuse to give the car away so i did change of the same motor one with 70 000 miles on it it work good for a few months then star asking for parts so far these is what i have changed on this car . most of the parts have been genuine from toyota i will specify when it was an OEM part
- timing belt and pulleys (changed three times already)
- crankshaft timing pulley (one time changed)
- oil pump and o-ring
- distributor changed (one time OEM part too expensive a genuine one)
- gasket on engine (one time changed)
- oil seal (one time changed)
- oil pan seal (one time changed 8 months ago)
- valve cover gaskets( one time changed)
- struts on rear and front (one time changed 6months ago)
- crankshaft front oil seal (changed one time already)
- hid lights and body parts as you can see in the pictures
The car has 153000 miles on it and i have spend some money on it but i gives me good mileage and is a great car but lately i have a leak i cant find where is it im not sure if is the seals on oil filter and the hoses in that section or if is the rear crankshaft seal that i dont recal changed that one the leak drops on exhaust so obviously smoke comes out when you come to a stop it looks like you car is running on fire, the leak is no that bad but oil can be so scandalous so im trying to isolate the problem maybe somebody have this problem on his camry before and any help would be be greatly appreciated . by the way i have been using castrol oil 20-50 high mileage since it past already the regular mileage. attached you will find the pics of my car thanks!!!!!!
