tumataas ba ang temp pag hi rpms? tumataas ba temp kapag mabilis takbo mo? nababawasan ba yun tubig sa radiator? may tagas ba sa ilalim yun sasakyan? give us more info sir.

check radiator condition, (if it needs cleaning/overhauling), auxiliary fan, if there's oil in the rad., but first answer the questions above

sir sakit na po na po ng nissan vanette yan,,,

1)palinis nyo ang radiator
2) baka mahina ang ikot ng mga aux fan sa engine and aircon?

ayun lang po ang alam ko sa ganyan kasi yung kapit bahay namin ganyan din ang problem at saka yung pregio namin dati

[Galactus]

Yup, ganyan talaga sakit ng Vanette habang tumatagal. According to some owners and mechanics, mali kasi ang placement ng radiator, tapos single-row pa.

Most bought a 2nd aux fan or a double-row rad to correct the problem (provided na wala namang leaks ang hoses).

ganun din ang yung vanette gf ng barkada ko. nasa grahe na at nakatambak na lang kasi overheat ang sakit. accdg to her, dami na mekanikong gumawa ganun pa din. dito kasi ako sa davao. i'll tell her about galactus' suggestion to put additional aux fan or a double row rad. sayang din naman kasi. alikabok lang ang nakikinabang.hehe..

this morning while driving civic vti A/T, temp rose. i pulled to road side to check what happened. turned off engine.yun water/coolant sa reservoir was kind of "boiling"; water in radiator is full...by the way, radiator is newly installed (about a week or so..)

i added a little water in the reservoir. when i started the engine again and checked uner the hood, i radiator fan wasnt working... what could have happened?

i drove back home, with aircon off, windows open...temp stayed at half (normal) until i reached home.

please advice what happened/ what to do. thanks

have your radiator fan and thermoswitch checked

[speedyfix]

check the thermostat also while you're at it.

I tried sealing everything sa cooling system ng ride ko at napansin ko kahit ka-start ko pa lang ng engine pumupunta sa coolant reserve yung tubig galing radiator.

Does it mean sira ang rad cap ko kaya nauubos tubig sa rad after a high speed drive? Napansin ko rin pala na medyo hindi fit yung inner lip ng rad, pwede kayang pa-reface ito kasi solid na bakal naman ito na naka-mount sa engine with 2 bolts. BTW liteace nga pala ride ko. Sinubukan kong i-disable yung hose going to the reserve at hindi tumataas ang temp ko.

Ano po sa tingin niyo?

Your cap is bad. Replace it with a new one... try Federal Mogul... but if that doesn't help, buy an original one from Toyota mismo, para mas lapat yung fit.
