Hello all, 2008 LE, 145,000 miles. After driving on the highway normally for 30 minutes last Saturday, I got check engine, VSC and TRAC OFF lights on when I started it again. I used OBD2 scanner at Autozone and got P0302 code. At first I thought it was because of ignition coils. However, the...

I recently changed the coolant and radiator pipes on our AWD Sienna. There were very few pictures and video’s available that showed the location of the various engine block drains so I’m including a few pictures here to help anyone else out. I try to change radiator hoses every 10 years or so...

Hello, just last week I noticed when I am driving. That my coolant fan is now always on. (Not while ignition is off). I don’t ever recall hearing the fan come on ever. Now it’s always on. When at a stop it will slow down. But as soon as I start driving it kicks in high. And although it wasn’t...

I recently had a local freelance mechanic change my radiator in my 98 LE 6 cyl 3.0, he only put 1 gallon of coolant because I bought the coolant and misunderstood I needed to buy 4 gallons, I've tried to add the additional gallons but it's filled up, I've burped it with the heater at full blast...

2004 Sienna LE FWD with 140k miles on it (original owner). My college bound son has been driving it most of the time recently We are relatively newbies as far as intricate knowledge about all components of cars and looking for some advise and guidance. Here is a chronology of events: Last...

I have a 2008 Sienna 3.5 V6 (2WD). My Questions: 1. Is my fuel system still pressurized after the van has been off, battery disconnected, for 5 or 6 days? 2. How should I relieve the fuel pressure? I can't just remove the fuel pump fuse and start the car for a moment to use up the fuel. Is...

Just bought a 2012 Sienna with 60k miles. Carfax showed service every 5,000 miles. Just got it home and removed radiator cap and the coolant is white and opaque. The reservoir is empty except for a small amount of white sludge. I am going to flush the system today. Anyone have experience...

I previously owned a 2004 CE (154k) that I bought in 2015 and drove for 4 years. Great van, but now it's gone. I wouldn't dare get anything other than a used Sienna with 100k+ miles. I've been shopping around and the last 2 that I looked at both had low/empty coolant. Was this a problem with...

Hello! I’m in need of some help as we’re stuck. We have to travel 4K miles by car for me to have two more surgeries and we’re having trouble with our 2008 Toyota Sienna AWD XLE. We’ve already have to move the surgeries twice and will have to postpone again. The problem is, it’s for a serious...

Hello, I have a 2005 Toyota Sienna XLE Ltd. 2WD. Recently, I topped the coolant since the coolant reservoir looked (kinda) empty. Since then, I have noticed coolant on the driveway (not a terrible mess, but about 12 inches diameter spot). Upon examining, I see coolant traces on the front of...

I suspect a rookie mistake. My 2007 Sienna Limited (3.5) started overheating after I drained coolant and replaced with fresh. I drove about 5 miles city driving, and the gauge went near the top. I immediately shut it off... Allowed to cool 25 min or so, then drove the vehicle home about a mile...

Couple months ago I renewed the radiator with new hoses and thermostat. A coolant leak developed and I thought it might have been the hose clamps as there was pink residue at the lip of the hoses (might still be as I have not buttoned up everything yet , will report back). Close investigation...

Just wondering if anyone else has experienced this problem. It's leaking coolant from right under the engine, not around the radiator or that area. Vehicle has 115,000 miles. Afraid it might need water pump replacement, hoping something cheaper like thermostat. Anyone else have any similar...

Howdy, haven't visited in a long time cuz our Sienna has been such a reliable vehicle. :) The van: 2004 XLE Limited AWD 124,000 miles. Timing belt & water pump changed at 103,000 by me. Normally change oil every 5k miles but went a little over this time (6900 miles) Between last oil change and...

My new to me 2008 Sienna has 88k miles. I had the coolant, tranny and power steering fluids changed for peace of mind. I noticed now about 3-4weeks later that my reservoir tank was completely empty. Figured the system had air in it and sucked in the remaining coolant from the reservoir. So I...

2006 LE 106K miles. started overheating today, opened the hood to find that the reservoir cap had blown open and coolant had splashed everywhere on the engine. Refilled the coolant reservoir and test drive the van, it started heating up quickly again. did not see any coolant leak as the coolant...

Hi, Recently opened the Lower Intake Manifold for Knock sensors. Noticed that Intake Manifold gaskets were broken. Now, I bought after market Felpro gasket and put it back with the Intake Manifold, now coolant starts leaking from the water passage inlet of the gasket (confirmed). Please...

I want to drain the coolant from my 2007 Sienna. Haynes manual says there are two valves on the engine block, one on the front side, one on the rear. I found the one on the rear, but cannot see or feel one on the front. Where should I be looking? Does it look and function just like the one...

Just changed my coolant for the first time today at 95,000 miles, and exactly ten years, it was time. Since I have a real 8 seater, I plan on keeping it forever. Of course I used the Super Long Life Toyota coolant ( The pink stuff). New hoses (Gates) too. Kind of a waste. The original hoses were...

I just had an aftermarket radiator installed. Maybe 50-100 miles driven. I am about to go on a 200 mile roundtrip drive so I tried to eyeball the coolant level and the reservoir seems empty frankly. The van has not been running hot and temp guage has been normal - just shy of perfect 3 oclock...
