UPDATED-Anyone know whats the wrong?UPDATED

[DatSRBoi]

Okay so I went to the dealershipand did a full flush and we found out the waterpump is just fine..Thank Goodness one less problem. I thought it was over. When I got home it was making that loose sound again. I pop the hood and did the investigation this time. I think its my front cams... It seems alittle woppy wiggy.. Or at least the center bolt is. The car was never boosted or abused in such ways. I tried seeing if it was loose and the bolt and belt was just as tight as suppose to. can anyone check their car and see if this center bolt of theirs seem to move like this? The bolts not loose at all and everything runs PERFECTLY fine (Thats what scarying me..Its too fine with that sound). Its just that loose knocking sound That pisses Dat Boy off...

In this one you see that the bolt seems to shake back and forth yet its tight and not loose and the engine does not knock or vibrate.

In this one you really hear that loose knocking sound up close.

In this one you see that the car revs and idles just peacefully. ( that sound in the end is just the fan On the chair falling to the ground)

It sounds like Somethings really loose..yet car runs just fine...about 80K miles on the car...

I'm taking a guess, but around 60k miiles I think the belts are supposed to be checked on the car ? ?

I would take it to the shop and just have it looked at to see what that noise is, but I'm thinking it might be your timing belt.

[Mandarinsolara]

complete and total guesses: because im lame and you really have to be there to witness it . (good job on the video though, you did the best anyone here could have)

1.- Valve tap (because valves usually dont effect the overall performance too much. and they are a repetitive tapping that has a direct interval with rpm's.)
i hear the "restore" brand engine treatment actually does a pretty good job. and even getting some premium gas and even adding some octane boost will lower knock and ping slightly.

i dont think its any of your accessories, just because of a gut feeling.

but then again i have never heard of 1mz valve tap, and it does not seem to be very frequent. you might want to try camry forums (1mz specific)
at 80k miles valve tap should not occur, but is not impossible ethier.

replacement of valve is not easy on the pockets either.
i hope you find out that im wrong and its an easy/cheap fix

good luck man

i think it is water pump. have you had your timing belt and water pump change?

Not yet at all.. I did do my own collant change though..How much is it to replace that and how long? Crap there goes my TRD kit...

[Turbosolara]

i dont know the pricing for v6, but i think it will be about 300-500 parts and labor.

did you use the oem red coolant? if not, you just killed your water pump.

if it is water pump, you better keep eyes on your tempeature gauge and try to not drive much. once it stop working....the coolant doesnt get circulating...the engine temperaure would surge up, and you will blow your headgasket, then you are screw big time....

Wait so the solara MUST have that red collant? I did the track settings..Pure water with water wetter....SH!TTTTT...500 bucks? Thats like my TRD kit all gonee....

The bottle of Redline Water Wetter says you can do that for full race cars

[indiglosolara]

using water wetter your not suppose to only use water.(even tho i know the bottle tells you its ok) You have to keep some coolant in cuz the coolant helps lubercate your water pump.. From the sound clip it does sound like the water pump is giving out. I would get that changed before it seizes up and kills your engine..

My suggestion is bring it to a machanic and see what they say. Since i am only judging by the sound clip you provided i can't be 100% sure if thats the problem.

Good luck on the fix and i hope everything goes well.

i'm guess alternator, you can squeeze some wd-40 on the belt and it should go away for a lil while, if the sound doesn't go away then its water pump.

[Turbosolara]

full race car suppose do radiator flash within 1 day......but your damn car was not build for that way. red coolant is important

[DatSRBoi]

Yeah should of done that...Was too busy thinking about how water is the best heat dealioer that forgot about water is the #1 rust creater...Getting it done in a bit.
