Default Friends car smoking
My friends 2000 Toyota Echo started smoking today. Smoke started coming in through the air vents. Anyone have any idea what could have caused this. I know it's hard to know without more information but my friend whined at me to post about it. If you guys have any guesses he would apreciate it. One of his friends said something about a heatrod but I don't know what they were talking about.
