Leaky water pump discovered upon routine change of timing belt on 2003 Toyota Tacoma 2wd prerunner. Discovered complete lack of gasket and woefully inadequate amount of sealant apparently applied at factory. (no more than 1/8" wide after compression between water pump housing and engine block) engine continually used a small amount of coolant/antifreeze and over time had built up a substantial volume of sludge/crusty coolant around water pump housing and timing belt (crankshaft) pulley. Although absent in this instance, this build-up has the potential to break loose and fall between the timing belt and pulley and ultimately cause timing belt breakage. Replaced belt and water pump. Re-manufactured water pump is equipped with a gasket.

Fuel filler neck flap broke off and fell into the tank. Gas mileage is terrible. Left turn signal stayed on and air conditioner was working intermittently. Took vehicle to champion Toyota on 10-15-09. Dealership stated that flap inside tank is normal. . . They repaired turn signal and stated that this could have caused the a/c to not work properly. Dealership stated that wires were burnt together causing the turn signal to stay on. Received vehicle back on 10-20-09. Also, I had taken the vehicle to dealership a few months prior to the 10-15-09 incident concerning a/c not working, they said they corrected problem. Also, tailgate has bowed after moving a light dryer. Dealer states that tailgate is not rated.
