Waterfall sound on cold start! HELP!

88 MARK3 · 06-27-2006, 07:52 PM

There is a waterfall sound on cold start on my supra...what problems are there???
I got that sound but don't know what the problem is....engine runs good...temperature is good....
anyone have any idea of what the problem may be?
(It is a Turbo model if it halps!)

Also my supra has 189000kms on it right now.
Anyone have any idea where I can start to look for any problems of the car?
I did smell some burning smell a couple weeks ago while driving but only for a couple minate. Any idea of what may have cost the burning smell???

Do a search for waterfall, this has been thoroughly talked about.

. Im very sorry to hear this news. As it sounds like a BHG. Drive the car around for a half hour or maybe less and you will see the temp go up.

top off the coolant and check closely for leaks over the next few days .
i hope you find a leak

the water fall sound is caused by a lack of coolant

The Temperature is find even if I drive it for more then half an hour.
Coolant topped off. There is a tiny leak in one of the little tubings up front though. But it is a minor leak.

I'd pressure test the cooling system. Should hold 17 psi and not drop. They are like $50.

What are $50 ??? the test?? Most 'honest' (and not greedy) shops would put the pressure tester on for free. Takes a few minutes.
