Continuing to drive when the water temperature is high can lead to deformation and damage of the cylinder block and cylinder head, and in severe cases, it may require replacement of new cylinder blocks and heads. The following are the reasons that cause high water temperature in a car: Cooling fan not working: The cooling fan may be controlled by a temperature control switch or a water temperature sensor. Insufficient cooling medium: Water or distilled water can be used temporarily as a substitute. Thermostat damage: If you want to remove the thermostat, the small circulation should be blocked to ensure that all the coolant is dissipated by the radiator. When installing a new thermostat, pay attention to the water hole. Radiator blockage: If the external blockage should be removed with water or air, internal blockage will affect the circulation of the coolant and generate pressure. Water pump failure: The impeller slipping or jamming causes the timing belt to break and the impeller to deform. Cylinder erosion: The combustion chamber and water channel are impacted, which will cause water or white smoke to be discharged from the drain pipe, resulting in frequent water shortage in the radiator.

What Causes the Rattling Noise in the Camry's Center Console?

The reasons for the rattling noise in the Camry's center console are as follows: 1. Plastic mold deviation or installation misalignment: Bumps cause mutual friction and squeezing, resulting in loose sounds. Locate the source of the noise, identify the friction point, and place rubber padding to block it, which provides good cushioning. If rubber padding is not available, you can use a piece of car inner tube. If the noise is caused by looseness, tighten the parts first and then add rubber padding for cushioning. 2. Resonance: When driving on gravel roads, uneven bumpy roads, or sometimes during acceleration, a high-frequency buzzing resonance sound may occur near the center console or the passenger-side A-pillar. This sound is not a low-frequency tapping but a high-frequency buzzing, which can definitely be attributed to resonance.
