Coolant Reservoir

[1D4LV]

kaninang umaga, napansin ko na paglagay ko ng coolant/water sa reservoir ko, ang lakas ng tagas sa ilalim. i assume may butas.

questions:

a. may mga replacement parts ba na reservoir na pwedeng gamitin? car is lancer 2k. mga magkano ang price nya? saan nakakabili?

b. kung oem lang, magkano din yung cost?

thanks.

bro, mabilis lang alisin yan, so tingnan mo muna at parang mahirap mabutas yan dahil made of hard plastic yan and kung coolant/water lang nilalagay di mabubutas ng basta-basta...baka yun hose ng papuntang radiator ang sira or yun clamp niya?

Sa mga surplus shops yata, meron. I bought my replacement windshield washer tank and motor from one several years ago. Mura lang. Kung meron silang ganun, meron din siguro silang coolant reservoir.

Good luck finding one!

common problem ng water reservoir sa katagalan ay cracks due to it is made of plastic and plastic when used for longer period of time it will become brittle. Gamitan mo nalang ng PIONEER EPOXY for plastic application 2 types kasi ang epoxy for steel and plastic, choose the plastic one.

tatagal din ang epoxy kasi ginamit ko na yan sa water reservoir and up to now okay pa. about 2yrs na yun.

Oh no! Its good but not that good, what your doing it's just a quick fix. Like he said (1DL4V) that plastic reservoir became brittle in time and putting an epoxy is not a good idea since the life span of that plastic are now up to the integrity limit. Change it to a new one before it give's you more headache.

better to bring the sample when looking for the part para sure ka tama lahat ng sabitan and brackets and wala ka na ireremedyo.

medyo OT question pero re:coolant reservior. every 2 days of using the car then check yung tank, ubos yung water. ano po kaya problem nito? yung coolant naman sa radiator di naman nabawasa...sigh.

[[archie]]

^^ sir check niyo po yung hoses and kung may maspotan na leak. nagpadrain na ba kayo ng radiator?

[s_quilicot]

baka maluwag ang lang clamp? di kaya?

[puroy]

*archie and s_quilicot: thanks sa reply. wala naman leak sa mga hoses and yes na drain ko na radiator then lagay bago coolant. yung clamp oks naman lahat.

bro check your radiator cap muna. baka loose lang and kailangan lang palitan. mura lang yun.

[woohoo]

+1 sa radiator cap. Na-experience ko na yan, e.

Agree that the radiator cap is one of the most probable causes.... Check if the rubber lining in the cap is still intact. If it is not, then there is your source of leakage at high pressure....

[speedyfix]

yup, replace the cap. simple and cheap test.

Things to Check
1. Broken Radiator Cap
2. Use Distilled Water only
3. 50/50 Distilled Water and Coolant or Premixed OEM

As i experienced po..
Kung Sobrang layo ang biyahe or Sobra init outside temp..
Dun lang dapat nagbabawas ang coolant reservoir..
Di normal palaging may bawas.. City driving di pa sakin bumabawas..
Misan lang 2 weeks after.. konti lang from the MAX..
Kung dun sa 3 things to check nagbabawas parin..
pacheck nyo na po sa Aircon Repair shop..
Ingat sa TAP water..

problema ng reservoir ko may punit na iyong rubber gasket/seal niya sa cap niya. ano ba remedyo dito? may nabibili ba na gasket/seal sa suking neighborhood auto shop? or is there any other possible diy remedy for this? para sa ek nga pala 'to mga bro

[speedyfix]

it won't look good but you can use sealant.
