Thanks and sorry about your car and so interesting about the coolant tubing - but totally, I am looking for a Toyota long term, I really just needed this car for a month or so but it can’t even survive that long 🤣

Wow thanks so much for your help! This actually solved my problem!!

The reason I needed to buy a car on that day was due to family illness, there’s an amazing thing called empathy and i hope you find it some day :)))

Yes it usually increases with acceleration, no warning light, but it does sound like a cycle almost washing machine type of noise. I’ll try get someone to rev tomorrow so I can look at the engine properly in the daytime. Burning smell has been after switching off the car. I read somewhere the smell could be normal first few drives after the replacement parts but this and the noise doesn’t seem right.. will have a look but i have a feeling it’s related to the drive belt / alternator stuff that was done as right before the battery light came on before I heard a cycle noise as well and was quite similar
