Replying to: metalibrarian (May 10, 2009 2:59 am) That does make more sense than a "water trap for the oil", now doesn't it?

Replying to: Mr_Shiftright (May 02, 2009 5:29 pm) I think I solved the mystery bottle questions or have a good theory to help contribute here.   I went back to the original post #517 well really its post #466and #477. This got me reading post #511and 512. Now stay with me here, post #511 and #512 sounds like the lady is probably from Guam. And they have a lot of moisture in that part of the world, I think. And she's sounds like she has the same problem as my Camry.   My Camry is running like crap too. Has been since I got a good deal for it when I saw it for sale all shinning and new looking along the side of the road The seller just said it just got painted and is a excellent car but hated to sell it . Well I'm getting off track here but long story short it missing those hoses that are mentioned in post #520. the ones that collect moisture.   Now I live in a desert but I thinking if the dealer is right in post#511, because its seems he knows the car best, Hell he made it.Or at least when theres nothing wrong with the car and needs useless service. And this collector mystery bottle is not on mine well the bottle is but the hoses are missing, like in post#.520 and so on... Then this is probably contributing to our problem. Me and Guam lady.   I know your about to say the "Desert Cars" don't need them parts, but here at night it gets cold and if you ever had boy scout training like me, you know at night to survive in the desert, you dig a small hole or rather during the day, and cover it. Then at night all that condensation builds up in that hole, or as in this case the engine compartment, if the hood is not left open from working on the car the day before. Then you got moisture. Just like the dealer guy said in post #517.   Anyhow I hope this helps cause I got a lot of rubber hoses that go nowhere and I think I finally figured out why. Thanks for the input.from all other post I haven't had time or space to mention here.

Replying to: metalibrarian (May 10, 2009 2:59 am) Yes, that is what I meant by "resonator." These are also used in some exhaust systems besides mufflers (they look like small mufflers), and the purpose is the same: to reduce noise.
#537 of 596 can't find keys! by tracedog67 May 14, 2009 (5:28 am)
hello,   i have lost the one key to my company car, a 2004 camry. The dealer wants $310 to replace the key set and the computer, do I have any other choice in this matter?   thanks Replies to this message: kiawah (May 14, 2009 5:43 am)

Replying to: tracedog67 (May 14, 2009 5:28 am) I assume the key you lost, is the key with integrated security chip, and remote door opener keyfob. When you buy a replacement, it has to be cut, then configured with the car computers for both the security feature and the door opening feature.   You can get a key that only has the security chip in it without the door keyfob, which would be cheaper.
#539 of 596 Good Will repair by grampy1 May 14, 2009 (1:48 pm)
Anyone have any luck with Toyota doing a good Will repair?    I have a 2001 Camry with 101000 mi that just had its Cat.Converter replaced by a independent dealer. Is it worth pursuing some relief from Toyota?  I believe under the emissions warranty the cat. is warranted for 10 yrs. and/or 100000mi. Correct?   Thanks Replies to this message: kiawah (May 14, 2009 2:00 pm)

Replying to: grampy1 (May 14, 2009 1:48 pm) slim to none, if they didn't put in a Toyota Cat, and it wasn't a Toyota dealer who diagnosed the need and did the labor.
#541 of 596 Cost of Repainting Bumper by cellotrack May 14, 2009 (6:03 pm)
Hi, I have a pearl white 1999 Toyota Solara SLEV6 with 110,000 miles. Recently, while I was parked at the mall parking lot, I realized someone rear-ended my rear bumper while I was out shopping and not the car. I have full insurance coverage but a $500 deductible. There is just some paint that is chipping off and cracking. The bumper is not dented in or damaged otherwise. I was thinking I should report to the insurance carrier as a hit and run but also thought about taking it to MAACO to get it repainted for about $300 since my deductible alone is $500. I am worried the paint will continue to chip off or the bumper might rust. Any suggestions or recommendations?

Replying to: cellotrack (May 14, 2009 6:03 pm) It's a 10 years old car, so, cracking paint can be normal. I just don't think it's the result of someone rear-ended your car. The bumper is plastic, thus no rust. Also, re-paint the bumper alone on a 10 years old car might look funny.   I wouldn't bother w/ the insurance co. for such a small claim. IMO, you shouldn't have full coverage on a 10 years old Camry w/ 110K miles. Replies to this message: rearwheeldrive (May 18, 2009 10:25 am)

Replying to: ray_h1 (Dec 17, 2006 6:49 pm) I have a 2006 Camry LE 4 cyl with 54K and the brake pedal is going to the floor. Is it possible that the master cylinder needs to be replaced already? Your advice is appreciated. pascookegmail.com Replies to this message: kiawah (May 17, 2009 6:23 pm) rearwheeldrive (May 18, 2009 10:33 am)
