marami pang dapat i-check dyan sa cooling system

Salamat po benchman sa reply. Paano po kaya best na gawin, ayun lang po suggestion nila 2 na po ung napagtanungan ko. Sabi pag naulit ung blink pag pula ng temp, baklasin na ung radiator ko linisin. Kasi napansin din po yung parang may mga hard water marks sa paligid ng fan. Tsaka dun po sa may bandang baba meron 1 hose na parang may mga namuo na oil di ko po na explain kung ano un haha. sabi po namuo yun po dahil sa overheating.

Make sure the engine has been off for a few hours so as to avoid dealing with 2nd degree burns.

1. Get a 3-4 liter container and put it under your radiator drain.
2. Unscrew (its a plastic wingnut) the plug which is normally situated on the lower tank of the radiator.
3. Drain.
4. Tighten the plug.

Make sure you dispose of the liquid in a proper sewer drain not on the ground.

Now before you fill up your system again.
1. Get a radiator flush and fill it in
2. Add water.
3. Run your engine, intermittently revving to circulate and turbulate the detergent. Idling for about 15-30 minutes as necessary depending on the residue from the initial flush.
4. Drain the engine as per the procedure above.

Rinse and repeat as necessary so you can get as much corrosion out as possible.

Personally I would put a mesh during flushing on the radiator inlet to catch any loose debris.

Fill up your cooling loop with 30% coolant and the rest with clean preferably filtered water.

I recommend blowing air through your radiator core to dislodge dust and debris.

Wouldn't hurt to shampoo to degrease it and rinse with low pressure hose your thumb on the hose should work fine. Dry with pressurized air or just let it dry on its own.

Is this the same procedures with cars na may heater? Thank you
I wanna DIY ksi sa Grand Starex ko

same lang kahit may heater, make sure to turn the heater on while flushing para masama sya sa malilinisan

Update lang po sa BB ko. Nag pa overhaul na po ako. Nung binuksan ung rad ko, dami po palang parang brown substance na malalambot na namuo na sa pinaka cover ng rad pati dun sa maliit na butas. Talagang linisin na po pala rad ko luckily hindi pa raw po pumuputok yung pinaka cover plastic lang po pala un? Paano po un nagiging copper? Anyway. After malinis, nirecommend na alisin na rin po yung thermostat ko, para maganda raw po tuloy tuloy ang circulation. Ano po say nyo? Pinatanggal ko naman po. Tsaka yung sa may hose po sa baba ung mga namuo na oil, sabi nya dahil daw po un sa ATF. Bumili lang po ng ibang panghigpit para di na ulit mag leak. Ayun po just sharing lang. Wala po kasi akong mapag kwentuhan about sa car puro kasi kami babae sa amin haha salamat po.

ibalik ang thermostat.
it helps lessen pollution, and helps save a little fuel.

that's exactly what i'm thinking about in the first hand,,,,, ipatatanggal nung mekaniko si thermostat.

Salamat po *dr. d *benchman

Nagbasa basa na rin po ako mali nga pala na ipatanggal yun. Cge po at ipapakabit ko ulit. Edi paano po yun, panibagong salin nanamn ng coolant? E paano po ba nalalaman kung sira na yung thermostat? Para bago ibalik man alam kong buo po. O pag sira naman makabili ng replacement. Makina po nito e pang vios 1.3.

Meron pa po akong 1 problema haha pasensya na po baka may nakaka alam po. Bakit konting pile ng baha lang madaan BB ko, iilaw agad yung battery sa dashboard? Ang suspetsya ko po nababasa yung belt dun sa alternator. Napalitan na po yun dahil sa same issue. Possible po kaya yun? Tsaka ano po kayang solution na pwede don? Open lang po kasi yung pinaka ilalim tsaka mababa lang ung BB

^how to test kung ok pa ang thermostat;

ilagay mo sa empty tin can ang thermostat, lagyan mo ng tubig just enough lumubog ang thermostat.
set it on fire sa stove, observe mo hanggang sa uminit/kumulo ang tubig. makikita mo gagalaw dapat yung spring, that's thermostat at it's open state.
tanggalin mo sa tubig yun thermostat, mag-close ulit sya dapat unti-unti habang nalalamigan na sya.

alternator/battery light blinking kung nalusong sa baha;

yes, pwedeng nag-slip nang bahagya yun belt kapag nabasa. nangyayari talaga iyan.
avoid wading sa malalim na baha hangga't pwede.

Eto ba yung inoopen para mag drain ang tubig from radiator? Paano yung from coolant? Yung hose ba na maliit papunta sa top ng radiator binubunot ba yun para na drain laman nya? Thanks

vios sir?

oo, yan yung drain para sa radiator.

yung sa coolant reservoir, nahihiwalay yun sa radiator fan cowl. parang snap on siya, buo siya natatanggal. wag mo bubunutin yung hose sa baba ng coolant reservoir paakyat sa radiator cap, mahirap ibalik kapag hindi naka baklas fan cowl. pero kung kasya braso mo, baka mas madali, hehehe
