hi guys!
I have a 1998 2.7l Prado which is having some problems.....
driving to work a few days ago I noticed the temp gauge climb quite quickly, I pulled over and let her rest for half hour or so and tried again and the same thing happened.
within 5 minutes of driving from a cold start its overheating and boiling the reserve bottle coolant
after reading online a bit I decided to replace the thermostat first (cheapest option) aaaannnnndddd no luck! damn it!
any idea what it could be? im guessing possibly the water pump? ive checked all pipes for leaks and nothing seems to be out of place.
im not overly mechanical minded (just the basics) is it hard to do?
any input would be greatly appreciated!
thanks!
