    Hey there. Just bought a 2000 Toyota Tacoma Prerunner. I live in Canada and Im wondering where is a good place to buy seat covers? I ordered from Grand West but they were too big
    Also I have the coolant smell in my cab when its warm, then it goes away. And it happens every single day. Not loosing coolant anywhere and the pressure test holds. ‍♀️

    Hello Lisa :wave:
    Welcome to TacomaWorld
    Check that the coolant level in the reservoir is between the 2 marks.
    When engine is cold the level should be at lower mark. At running temp the level should be at upper mark because the radiator cap allows expanding hot coolant under pressure to flow back into the reservoir. This can cause the smell especially if the reservoir cap and hose are old, worn or cracked.

    Welcome. I am new myself. Is the vehicle brand new ( I should have said purchased) from the dealer ? I would take it back and have them check the heater core. Run the heater and see if you are getting hot air.
