Leaks and overheats really fast

A NEW RECORD FOR LONGEST 1ST POST.
2004 Camry XLE 4 cylinder 207 thousand miles
guess at 2.4L engine. but there are 3 engines offered.
2AZ-FE ENGINE SURE.
THAT OVERHEATS,
LET ME CONDENSE YOUR POST.
1: NEW LEAKING CAB HEATER CORE.
And sure after it stinks how can it not 50%AF toxic fluid in the passengers foot well carpets. gee get them steam cleaned by pro's (removed and pro cleaned)(

2 :now the coolant is leaking and spraying in the engine bay well that is normal on all cars this old (not serviced, abused)
all hoses bad and 19 years old cracked and leak what's new there, zero..nada.

or water pump leaks
or radiator leaks, sure, 19 years old sure it can.
nothing new there.
what will be ,will be. there is no magic to car repair
--------------------- NOW COMMENTARY BLIND------------
best guess:
he used bar's leaks to stop tiny leaks. that is all it does
it never ever fixed cracked hoses ,bad water pumps nor fixes radiator leaks. or bad head gaskets or warped heads.

if he was a pro he;d have told you the car needs major service, and parts but when told by him, the wallet was dry
outcomes snake oil BAR's leaks.
fix it right or patch it and pray. <<<< your CALL !

BAR'S: (MAKERS REAL NAME)
it can help some times in pinch 1000 miles from home
it's a band-Aid to a broken leg. ( not magic, it is a desperate act)<, NO BLAME ME IT IS YOUR CAR.

old cars are all like this they have vast problems and most ive seen 10 problems ignored by the owner.past and present. (all) they add up, and then the camels back is broken with 1 more gain if straw.!
machines need service, if not they fail or fail hard.

if the engine is allowed to overheat too badly the engine is wrecked, ever price out cracked heads and engine blocks.
some cars heater cores are $2000 fix, dash out 12hours labor.+parts.
seems to me you got a SUPER DEAL there.
MY GUESS JUST HEATER COR HOSES BAD
AND ARE THE HOTTEST HOSES AND WHY.

Each leak must be found and if hoses crack they are all bad, for sure if 19 years old.
the RAD tank ends can crack TOO.
and the pump fail and the path of the whole coolant loop can fail and crack a real pro finds them all.
even intake manifolds can leak or thermostat housing can crack, SEE????????
TOYOTA Camry 04
lot to fail on any cooling system
even rad fans.
WE CHECK AND CURE ALL LEAKS FIRST
UNDER FULL HOT ENGINE PRESSURE,NEAR 15PSI
FOR LEAKS, PARKED HOOD UP EVEN RUN FOR 30 MINUTES TO FIND THEM ALL
CAREFUL AND COMPLETE OBSERVATION,
FOR SURE DRIPS OR TRICKY SQUIRTING OF 50%AF COOLANT.
NO 19YEAR OLD THERMOSTAT IS GOOD
AND IF BAD AND CAUSES OVERHEATING THE SIDE TANK NEXT TO RAD EXPLODES IN STEAM AND IS SUPER BAD FOR ANY ENGINE (JUST BEGGING TO WARP THE HEAD)
AND A NEW SERP BELT TO THE PUMP IS BEST.
THIS OLD.

fan not running
blocked radiator cores
missing radiator fins
thermostat faulty
lack of coolant
faulty radiator cap
running too lean
incorrect ignition timing
blown head gasket
cracked head or block
driving too fast in a wrong gear --overdrive not working
overloaded
no antifreeze-antiboil
coolant leak

You have a cracked head or cracked intake,must go into engine to find out what's going on.Could be just a blown head gasket.

Sounds perfect to me. The fan sound is normal for a clutch fan. The temps are just not too high at all. Remember, the system has two main points that make the temp okay: Coolant (in the right amount) and PRESSURE. Both seriously raise the boiling point.

At even higher temperatures, Eventually, you should hear the fan kick in, as loud as when cold..This REALLY moves air through the rad and should curtail any overheat.

Doc

aluminum radiator
plastic top and base seal
tanks held in with crimps on aluminum radiator

find a local radiator shop to replace top seal and top plastic part
of that radiator
not as expensive as a new radiator

replace the thermostat

pressure is too much on that crack for any diy repair product

pop off hose at the wrong time =cook the motor

The radiator caps needs to be replaced. The rubber seal is either hardened or has cracked.

Radiators leak and break easily on the 528i. Also, there are bleed screws that are plastic that can sheer off and create a leak on the two main hoses.
Or, the guy who did your head gasket didn't check it for cracks, so it's leaking into the cylinder chamber and burning out.

you have a cracked head or head gasket, di you have the head machined and checked for cracks?

your fan is the problem...it's not turning fast enough to cool the engine off. I need more info on what type of fan you have....elec fan or a clutch fan?

Hey try checking you radiator plugs (2) at the bottom right corner make sure its not stripped. Also if the radiator in plastic on the top and very bottom but iron or aluminum in the middle you will have to check really careful where the plastic and aluminum join together could hair a hairline crack but once you start the car and it get hot and pressurize then its runs out fast. Hope this helps I have a 93 accord also..for 12 years now and still doing well..Ed
