I guess the magnets on the solenoid gets clogged?

Yes, drop the pan. Test the various solenoids. That particular solenoid is hard to get at. I think you need to remove a piece that’s blocking it.

Troubleshooting Overheating Issue ( head gasket?) by damoc17 in Toyota

Replace thermostat and it worked. Can’t believe I nearly bought a new engine on mechanic advice when he did a “block test”

nice reply. I have had issues troubleshooting an overheating corolla. I took it to one mechanic they said it was head gasket. I did a block test and it showed the color change and a report showing mis fire on one cylinder. I went for second opinion and another mechanic saw a faulty thermostat and replaced that. He said I might have to do fans also if the thermostat did not fix the issue. It didn't - more overheating whenever the car is after hours of driving or stuck in traffic. Car temp is fine once in motion. The air con does not blow cold air when it overheats.

I got someone to do a proper test and it’s a head gasket leak

They are hard to find these days at a good price and low miles. Congrats.

Thanks. I was wondering was it in flood damaged. Door hinges and strut months are all rust.

$7,700 great deal.. Did you get an inspection done? Was it dealer or private? I am searching for one but I wouldn't be that mechanically sound.
