    Tanong ko lang po baka alam nyo reason why my car's temperature rose last sunday - We came from subic last sunday and passed through SCTEX at about 530PM. I was running from 100 - 140KPH for about 30 mins along this hiway, and only slowed down at the Toll Gates at the end of SCTEX going towards NLEX. At this point napansin ko na tumaas yung temp. ng kotse, at about 3/4 of the gauge.

    Tinakbo ko ulit ng mabilis yung kotse and medyo bumaba ulit yung temp. Bumagal na naman takbo ko pagdating sa Dau Toll Gate, napansin ko na naman na tumaas na naman temp.

    Upon exiting I decided to pull over sa shoulder and check the engine, yung 2 radiator fans were working naman and may tubig naman sa reserve tank.
    Although what I noticed is that mataas ang level ng tubig sa reserve tank, halos umapaw na.

    After this, nagdecide na ulit ako na itakbo na yung kotse but this time only running at 80 -100 KPH. Naging ok naman yung temp ng sasakyan hangang sa nakarating kami sa bahay sa pasig. Wala din naging problema nung ginamit ko sya the following day.

    Ano kaya sa tingin nyo ang naging reason kung bakit tummas temp nya nung sunday? May nagsabi sa akin na it could probably be due to clogged radiator. What do you think guys? Thanks..
