Evening all
picked up my LS400 earlier this week and have been enjoying driving it, covered a few hndred miles already, but i seem to be having overheating issues...
Read up loads on here already and all sound similar, air in system/thermostat/system cap issues
quick overview of sympton, temp guage gets hot, starts going up towards the red..
coolant is dripping from the tube under the cap and onto the floor, but its throwing out too much and is then almost empty when cold...
My question i have..
by the reservoir it says use 1 of.(product code).. and 4 (another code) - ten says DO NOT USE WATER
so would i be right in thinking i should only use those part numbers or is it ok using normal coolant and mixing with water?
i also have a hilux and they seem to have issues with rad caps that release the prssure too early, so I'm thinking if i change the rad cap, drain the coolant and change the thermostat all will (hopefuly) be ok..
what i'm struggling to find is a manual etc for the LS400.. so any tips for how too or even a link to a how too would be great
final question, lots of people say burp the system, how is that done?
thanks in advance from a complete newbie to toyota/lexus worl
