    nakabili ako netong nakaraang buwan ng sasakyan at diko pa natatangal ang kalawang sa cooling system.

    sa tingin ko e pinainom lang ng pinainom ng dating may-ari ng tubig poso ang makina.

    napalinis ko na loob ng radiator at andaming natanggal na kalawang. tapos nakalimang flush siguro kami sa radiator shop e mayron pa ring kalawang. tapos ganon din karaming beses na pagflush sa bahay. ang ginawa ko e sinaksak ang water hose sa drain plug at pinalabas ang kalawang sa ibabaw ng radiator. kasi hindi natatanggal sa pagflush gamit ang drain plug sa radiator at engine block.

    ang problema ko e kung papano ba matanggal ang kalawang na nakadikit sa mga water jacket sa makina? kasi hindi ito natatanggal sa ordinaryong flush lamang.

    coke, suka, electrolysis,....???? ano nga ba?.

    salamat

    Tried suka, pretty effective. Pinaghalo ko pa Datu Puti saka Silver Swan, no kidding

    I ran it for a few kilometers. Nung hose method lang eh clear na ang tumutulo, pero nung na-drain ko na yung suka eh light brown water ang lumabas. Sa next radiator drain ko eh pure suka na lang talaga ang ilalagay ko for a a week para effective talaga

    Madami din sa google swear by citric acid and oxalic acid

    have you heard of lavramon method? it's like a dialysis machine intended to flush out the debris or whatever contaminants inside the cooling system. you might want to try it.

    Have you tried chemical radiator flush? Meron available sa concorde / blade na radiator flush where you mix it with the water in the system and run your engine for a few minutes for the chemical to work and drain it afterwards. IIRC Cyclo yung brand.

    We did it once sa EG civic namin. Madami din naalis na rust.

    Word of caution though. Yung isang office mate namin used it once sa bigbody corolla nila. The radiator leaked afterwards kasi yung sediments na nakadeposit sa radiator preventing the leak was also dissolved. So try it at your own risk.

    HTH.

    Agree on the note about using flushing fluid. Matagal na tubig puso lang ginagamit sa isang pick-up namin, nung ginamitan nang coolant at nilinis, ayun, lumabas yung butas sa plastic top.

    oy masubukan ko nga suka...nagantay lang ako ng umamin dito na gumamit suka.

    regarding lavramon na iyan, wala po dito sa amin. ang alam kong pinakamalapit is 250km away.

    regarding naman sa chemical flush, nakagamit naman na ako ng mga cyclo brands. pero yung radiator flush ang hindi pa. sige susubukan ko iyan. diko naman na siguro problema yung tatagas ang radiator dahil kapapalinis ko lang din radiator at andami rin natanggal na namahay na kalawang. antitigas nga e.

    ...doesn't the use of engine coolant, slowly rid the engine block of those scale deposits?
    if so, then just use coolant and drain the radiator from time to time..

    YMMV

    Baka kailangan na ng Overhaul/Cleaning. I checked this afternoon P950 daw and will take 2-3hrs daw. Since 1998 yung lang ang din ang ginagawa ko now very visible na yung rust sa tubig at loob ng Radiator.

    Try mo lang bawas ka konti coolant sa radiator mo, mga 2 glasses sa drain plug. Tapos sa coolant resevoir, observe mo kung mabawasan sya after running your engine at idle speed from the time your radiator fan comes on twice. Kapag nagbawas yung nasa coolant reservoir, humigop yung radiator mo, kaya bumaba level sa reservoir. It means, na-circulate ang coolant mo sa cooling system ng car.

    in the first place, does your vehicle overheat, sir? because if it does not overheat, then the coolant must be circulating. hindi lang ninyo napupuna.

    15 minutes nang uma-andar sasakyan... but what is the temp gauge saying, sir? uminit ba makina o hindi?

    In the case of your radiator fan, it shouldn't be. Mga ilan minutes paandarin? 1 hour and 30 minutes, at idle speed.

    Your thermo switch is busted already. Or, baka naka rekta na din yung fan. Either way, hindi dapat ganun, aandar lang dapat yung fan pag na reach na ng makina yung operating temp nya.

    sir ung rad fan po mag on pag nasa normal na ung temp. tapos kelan dapat tumigil ung fan? ung ac fan sabay po sa pag on/off ng ac compressor?
