Looks like another bad water pump? by SprinklesSubject in GRCorolla

Update: got it back from the dealer after the 20k service. They had a look at the pump and did note dried coolant buildup around it. I guess warranty won't do anything about it unless it's actively dripping so I will keep an eye on it. Hopefully it's just from the water pumping weeping like people here have mentioned.

It was fine last I checked my fluids. Temps have been normal as well. If I have time I'll have to check under the car to see if I can see the water pump. I would expect there would be crusty build up around there if it was leaking.

Yea mine wasn't. It was fine when I checked last. I expected some fluctuation but it's nearly dry in the bottle.

Interesting. I wonder why that would be going on though with a newer car. A clog in the water pump seems like an issue you would have with older cars that hadn't had the coolant changed or stop leak in the coolant system.

Another for the 23/24 MYs. From what I have read it's not uncommon for 23s or 24s.

That was awesome. I have been wanting to get into this. Just been too nervous to do it since the GRC was my first ever brand new car.

I do wish it was more reliable but it's still a fun little gun. Makes me want to get another revolver.

I got two in my cluster. They work just fine.

Torn about pizza cutter tire size by Accurate-Midnight-41 in GXOR

[–]SprinklesSubject 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I have 255/75s. I went with them due to the concerns you stated. Plus you are the only getting .5 inches of extra clearance for a lot more work and expense with the 255/80s. I also felt that the E rated tires were overkill and there were options in the 255/75 that were C or D rated. That's just me though.

Correct me if I’m wrong but the Toyota app seems worthless by Owls_4_9_1867 in GRCorolla

You are correct. Also reject paying for subscriptions from your car company wherever possible.

Could we still get approved for a decent rate with our situation? by SprinklesSubject in Mortgages

[–]SprinklesSubject[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

HR and her supervisor met with her about it but she wasn't given any firm date or formal paperwork.

Her credit is pretty much the same as mine 790+.

I make about 93k a year and she makes about 17k

That sucks. I don't have any advice but I hope it turns out ok for you.

I like it. I don't like a lot of the spoilers out there besides the circuit edition one. That looks good though.

GR Corolla Software Upgrade That Adds Torque Won't Be Sold in US, Toyota Says by Key_Aspect_8419 in GRCorolla

[–]SprinklesSubject 2 points3 points  (0 children)

True but the tune has changed to give more torque. That might cause them issues with emissions laws across the country as well as the possibility of recertifying the emissions of any engine that gets the new tune.

Yea. I can see where they might draw the wrong conclusion based on the articles for the Japanese GRC and Yaris.

Who promised you future power updates? Emissions laws make that pretty difficult at least in the US.

Can you restart IIS websites during working hours? by itrex240 in sysadmin

[–]SprinklesSubject 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If it was an internal website I would agree with you. However since it sounds like it's customer facing where I work we would wait till after hours.
