1) noticed radiator fluid slowly leaking under bottom (towards back of engine). Had mechanic check engine, - was leaking at back of head gasket, took apart engine and noticed 3 back bolts to engine block (heads) could be removed by hand. When heads were fixed could not install new bolts (would not tighten) - mechanic said there is a manufacturer defect - no threads. 2) cannot fix engine - need new engine 3) trying to get Toyota to pay for repair - in progress with them now - no resolution yet.
My 2003 Highlander limited 6-cyl. 4WD vehicle has a loud audible clicking noise (sounds like valve lifters ticking) eminating from the engine since I purchased the vehicle new from page Toyota in Jan '2003. The clicking noise is only present when the engine is running. The clicking noise is always audible but the volume decreases as the vehicle reaches normal operating temperature.the clicking noise is very loud when the vehicle is cold. The clicking noise frequency increases with increasing engine RPM and decreases with decreasing engine RPM. The Toyota red holman customer service representative stated that the clicking noise is normal and can not be reduced or eliminated.
