    Thanks everyone for your help. After replacing the radiator ($200+) and almost replacing the water pump, it turns out it was a $12 thermostat....! But at least the new all aluminum radiator looks wicked...! :icon_razz

    Radiator / water pump issue?

    Antilock warning light

    I have a 1990 MKIII and for the past few days the Antilock warning light has been coming off and on. It's been sporadic but more often. I don't have a manual. Can anyone explain what the light means and what I need to look into? Thanks.

    Bleeder plug broke off

    Actuator or External Wastegate type

    I am a complete novice and newbie to cars... I have a 1990 Supra and want to install a Profec B spec 2 boost controller but don't even know if my turbo is an "actuator type" or "external wastegate type". My repair manual shows an actuator but also refers to a waste gate valve. I am already...
