So, I bought a 2000 Camry LE 4 Cylinder. I LOVE IT... But... I didn't take a close enough look when buying... There's a puff of smoke when the car starts. The engine also sounds very rough, especially when it starts cold- almost a chugging. With a stethascope, the sound seems to eminate from the water pump. I took it back to the dealer ship. They're stating it needs to now go to Toyota and the folks at the Toyota dealer ship thinks it may be a know issue. Well, if it is, it's not well known because I can't find it. Any advice on what's going on would be well appreciated. Thank you!
Wow... you're awsome. That was a quick reply! Thanx!!!! I wonder if these are something Toyota would take care of. I'm not sure if my warranty would do it. Any idea how much the valve seals woudl cost?
oh.... Well..... thank you. Jackfruit (yeah... I named the car.... ) has 78000 miles on it, so I don't believe it's covered by Toyota. I have the extended warrantee through the dealership, however, so I've got my fingers crossed. Well, thanks again. I'll post what I find out from the Toyota place for the next unfortunate and impulsive fool who buys a car without getting it checked out...:disappoin
