check your radiator cap na din bro. baka nagbo boil ang water sa reservoir tank, kaya nag uubos ng tubig, kahit wala namang external leaks.

Mga sir/mam, pa advise na din kasi exact na nangyayari (rise in temperature almost sa red line na and pag stop ko to check kumukulo nga water sa reservoir) sa ride ko ngaun ito pag tumatakbo ng 90-120kph for about 10mins or more.

Nae-experience ko lang ito pag nag byahe kami sa SLEX or NLEX. Pero pag city driving nman at nagbu-burst speed (100-120) ako like sa edsa or C5, totally walang problema nman related to overheating.

What could be the problem or culprit that causes the problem??

Start first by having your radiator flushed and cleaned then checking your aux fan operation and thermostat; a stuck thermostat could mean water/coolant flow isn't sufficient when you're running at higher rpms.

Thank you for the advise vinj. When you say have it cleaned, does it mean i got to have it "overhauled"?

a thermostat that fails to open ("stuck in the closed position") will overheat the engine no matter what the engine speed is....

a missing thermostat (i.e. removed) will overheat the engine on low speed runs (traffic) and overcool on open highway runs....

symptom is overheating at open highway and prolonged high engine speeds......

if all of the items stated by sir vinj checks out okay, check your belt, belt tension, water pump, and then your hoses especially the lower one.....usually, the upper hose is the first to go. check them both anyway.

experienced the same problem and it turned out that the lower hose is collapsing at high engine speeds because it (hose) was soft.

water pump creates partial vacuum at the suction side (lower hose).

Hello po. Up ko lang po tong question na ito, needs some enlightenment cause Im also experiencing minor overheating lately. Thank you po sa mga magrereply to educate us about the differences of radiator flush and cleaning versus overhaul.

Ako rin po. Kelangan magpa-check ng overheating na Altis 2005 A/T 1.8 model. Kelangan malapit sa Ortigas Center kasi baka di umabot sa shop. Salamat sa advice. Where can I find a reliable shop in the Ortigas Center-Shaw Boulevard area?

^Just recently, our old lancer itlog had a bit of overheating problems. I did several coolant flush, it didn't work. Tried the Lav'ra mon service, it did clean the engine block but didn't remove the clogged radiator fins.

Tried to bring it to a radiator shop. The mechanic manually opened the radiator and de-clogged the fins. It was full of rust. Now no more overheat. The overhaul only costs 600.

hello boss non-vtec, ilang taon na po ang lancer nyo? when you say opened manually the radiator, do you mean binaklas nya at nilinis ng "lye" ang fins, parang sa house aircon? i ask because gusto ko nang unahan ng palinis ang radiator ko kasi nakaranas na ako na mabutasan ng cooling coil dahil sa alikabok, baka ganyan din mangyari sa radiator kung walang linisan?

radiator overhaul yung ginawa. the mechanic will remove the lead that seals both the top and bottom ends of the radiator. a thin wire/stuck will be inserted to remove the clogging. kapag lahat ng water passages are clean, reassemble na. di na kailangan ng lye...
