just when you start and accelerate for first few min?

Had the same on my GS when coolant level was low....check and top off if necessary and should go away

will try that, looked at it last week and it was only about a mil or 2 below the level. will put some water in an see, mostly on start up or after a thrashing when i stop.

cheers man

didn't take much below line for noise to start - only about 2 mil for me too- you probably don't want to be putting water in there though....proper coolant

we talking about the radiator yea? the red coolant. its 50 50 isnt it. just bought 5 litres of it for when i get my timing belt on.

If you bought the proper toyota/lexus coolant, you dont add any water. it is ready mixed.

If it is the genuine coolant, it doesnt need mixing, it should tell you on the container.

If you look at the back of the radiator you will see a black bottle connected to the radiator, it has a clear window in the back to check the coolant levels and should be at the MAX point on the window? there is a black top/cap with a pipe coming from it on the top of the bottle where you fill it up and the top just pulls off? :)
