2001 Toyota Celica Engine cooling Problems

“I had purchased a 2001 Toyota Celica gt in october 2005, and in 2006 I noticed that the engine was consuming more oil then normal (1 quart oil = 500miles) after the oil was changed at 96,000 miles, I also started noticing a ticking noise coming from the engine compartment, I've taken it to roseville ... See more Toyota in california to have it checked out and they kept blaming it on my exhaust, even when I took a technician for a drive to let him listen to the noise, but he still said it was my exhaust. …”

“I purchased my Celica new in 2001. This year I had a new clutch and transmission put in. In the past 6 months I noticed that I was putting oil in on a regular basis, no leaks and no smoke form the exhaust. I have 128 thousand miles on the car. I have changed the oil on schedule.

I have a neighbor with the same vehicle who came back from europe from an assignment and he told me that Toyota has a recall over there for the weak valves. He told me that Toyota is replacing the engines as a solution to that problem. …”

The next day, as massachusetts law states I went to get the inspection sticker for the vehicle and everything went ok. Also, I decided to do a full check on the car (brakes, oil, filters, etc). However after 4 weeks the car started to make a grinding noise when I would let go of the gas and I also noticed that the red oil light on the dash board would blink for a second when I came to a full stop. …”

“I had purchased a 2001 Toyota Celica gt in october 2005 to initially get to and from work, and in 2007 I noticed that the engine was consuming more oil then normal (1 quart oil = 500miles) after the oil was changed at 96,000 miles, I also started noticing a ticking noise coming from the engine compartment that was only noticeable while driving and I don't know what caused it.
