#2065 of 5279 Camry Temperature Gauge Issue by civic2001 Feb 14, 2004 (10:31 pm)
My 87 Camry has recently developed a problem with the instrument temperature gauge. As the car warms up, the gauge would gradually move up to the middle range correctly. However, once it reaches the operating temperature, the gauge needle starts to move back to the "cold" zone. It will then flucture constantly between "cold" and "normal". There is no coolant leak and the car functions normally otherwise(not over-heating).   Any suggestion is greatly appreciated.

It's a nice car, but one thing is driving me crazy, and there is probably no fix. In the rain, or after a car wash, water will drip on the seat when the door is opened. Not much, but it still is a little thing that bugs me.   Jeff

#2068 of 5279 I4 2.2 engine diagram by msag Feb 15, 2004 (7:26 pm)
Sorry if I posted it twice, can't find my first post...   Can someone please send me to the site with the engine diagrams, I am afraid I am going to need one soon...   Just bought myself (actually for my wife) a “project” car, a 95 Toyota Camry with 145k. Engine and mechanicals seems to be sound and I got all bunch of service records from the previous owner. A couple of questions , regarding maintenance on this car:   1. Should I change the water pump? according to the shop that serviced the vehicle, the timing belt was replaced at 125k but NOT the waterpump??? or drive belts.... Since my wife is going to be a primary driver I am concerned of missing that first leak of the waterpump and having the thing overheat, with 145k could be fatal . Is there a coolant level warning light on the 95 Camry. If not is there any quick and dirty way of installing one? I was going to hook this light up to the security system’s siren and see what happens.... Is there any possibility that waterpump shaft is worn out to the point where it just snaps quietly and then overheats the engine without any leaks? By the way the radiator is replaced too. 2. I am going to bring this car to a closest shop and have them flush the break system, looks like it has never been done before. Is there any way power steering can be flushed too? If yes can I do it myself of ‘trust’ the shop with it? 3. Since I am now out of the money for another project, what can I do to extend the life of the engine/transmission? Synthetic oil, any additives? 4. Just today I noticed an oil leak, right below the water pump housing and while replacing the drive belts noticed that timing belt housing (the part of it that's adjacent to the engine) is all cracked. Could the oil be coming from there. I always thought that timing belt is "dry" and there should be no oil in there... Also, how do you fix the weather seal on the door? I’ve tried spraying some silicone spray on it hoping it would expand, but it did not work.   Thank you,

#2072 of 5279 dealer or independent shop? by mycar11 Feb 16, 2004 (8:05 pm)
The windshield glass needs to be replaced on a 97 Camry. The cause is the rust build-up between the glass and the roof. So the rust needs to be removed and the roof needs to be painted. The dealer (North Dartmouth, MA) has a body shop. There are also a couple of independent shops. The dealer shop will be $100 more expensive.   Any advice on whether to go for the dealer body shop or the independent? Thanks in advance.
#2073 of 5279 Growling noise on 2004 Camry LE by pv223 Feb 16, 2004 (8:41 pm)
I'm noticing something similar. After 3 weeks and 800 miles of smooth driving, my 2004 Camry LE suddenly started making this growling noise while accelerating. The auto gear shifting seems distinctly jerkier. There's also a slight rattle at 20-30mph, and overall, the engine noise seems to have increased. I'll be going to the dealer as soon as possible - in the meantime, any suggestions/advice would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance !
#2074 of 5279 Temp Gage by typesix Feb 17, 2004 (1:23 pm)
Your temp gage may not be at fault. It could be the thermostat. If the needle goes to the middle "normal range" while idling and then goes to the left while driving, especially at higher speeds(above 30mph), the thermostat is not closing properly as the water temp decreases and needs replacing.
