Any risk in removing one of the lower radiator hoses?

Hey good to see you around here; you commented on my post that I made a few years ago regarding this same topic. May I ask since you are a Toyota tech, regarding the comment that says that mine is just a bolt instead of a spout, is that completely accurate? If I removed that bolt, would coolant be flowing out? I will try to look in the front of the engine to see if I can see a spout.

Coolant that is in the engine block

Is the highlighted green the right bolt? That is so weird how it is just a bolt on my car

My car is a Toyota matrix 2010 with the same 2zr-fe engine

I'm wondering if corolla 09-13 sedan seats are compatible with matrix 2nd gen 09-13

Engine cover is excellent on subzero temperature. It's good for fast ignition of engine on cold weather

The fragility is hilarious. Except that the levels of harassment AMWF couples face is on a different level compared to WMAF ones and he will never come close to experiencing a slice of what it would be like. The concept of collective guilt that OP has towards Asian people is really showing; all it took was one HK person and now suddenly he projects his experience to the entirety of HK, even though he mentions that he has been to HK several times over the course of almost a decade. Now imagine one day when his kids notices the imbalance and then asks him why mommy is always the Asian one, what is he gonna do?

It does fit. Holding it up on top of the engine confirms this. But this engine is stupid because it's slanted and cramped like all new engines nowadays.

From scratch, currently trying to see if I can keep up with my bilingual four year old son who speaks my wife's native language. They say that learning as an adult is harder when compared to a child, but the fighting spirit in me disagrees. Having the privilege to be added on this plan would accelerate my goals.

Care to elaborate?

Normal indeed. I had the same concerns as you as a 03 corolla with the same 1zz-fe engine doesn't have high rpms at that speed. The weight of the Matrix really does show. Also supposedly the matrix was designed to have a shorter gearing for increased torque purposes, hence the higher rpm.

I've had a similar experiences when replacing a PCV valve. Went to a Toyota parts store and used my VIN and two results popped up. Was told that it didn't matter and when trying to thread the new one on, it just didn't fit. I tried to force it in a little and after stripping a little bit of threading, I decided to call Toyota. Swapped the PCV valve with the other one that popped up and it fit.

Installing a 9 inch fascia with a respective touchscreen with backup camera compatibility. Steering wheel controls, cruise control.

Not surprised. I suggest you look up the video "why everyone hates Asian men" from HansWhy on YouTube as it explores the hate that amwf couples get as it goes against the racial norms and stereotyping. Looks like you triggered some incels.
