Hi everybody, I bought a Celica st185 Alltrac turbo last week. I already knew that the car wouldn't reach working temperature, a little less than half of the gauge, and other small issues, but I didn't think much.
Now the problem is:
-Heater is not working (valve behind the firewall opens, visual inspection)
-Coolant overflows from the coolant reservoir.
The car was in a collection for a lot of years, from 2008 the car travelled for 3k kilometres.
I noticed that when I park the car, bubbles come out from the overflow of the coolant tank. Is there a possibility that after so many years the coolant additive is gone and just water is inside? The liquid is in terrible state, in brownish colour (not milkshake luckily).
Do you have experience or suggestions for this issue?
The car has a couple minor issues like: antenna not going up, square tyres, rear trunk struts not sustaining the weight. Nothing serious.
I hope to be welcomed in this community, this is my first project car and I have a lot to learn from you.
Have a good day!
