Needs Help!!! Overheating and coolant reservoir overflowing

[fredzkii]

Hi.
My car is 1997 Corolla Xl Big Body. Just yesterday, got overheating problem and coolant flowed out of the expansion tank. From cold start, temp keeps on rising after 15-20 mins, and you cal see coolant dripping out of the reservoir. What do you think is the culprit?

Any mechanic from taguig who can check my injured car, parked at mckinley hill, fb, taguig city?

Blown gasket?

ouch... Sana hindi... Mahal kaya pa-fix nun?
Would anybody like to suggest an on-call mechanic near taguig area?

Blown gasket?

Yan din hula ko. Pressure from the cylinder head caused your rad to burst leaks.

If it's blown head gasket, is it still safe to travel around 3-10 kms, madala ko lang sa talyer?

Have it towed instead of running it. Just my suggestion. Kung meron kang friend na may car or any vehicle na pwede mo ipahila patungo sa talyer na nais mong dalhin. Kaysa itakbo mo papunta, para iwas na rin sa complete overhaul.

Cheers.

abay kaya yan ung sa akin nga trinavel kopa from manila to nueva ecija blow na at singaw ung gasket.

kung gasket lang din papalitan mas maganda pa reface mo na ung head.para pumantay.tulad sa akin ganyan din problem nagpalit kami ng gasket lang after 3 day baklas ulit kami. kaya reface na ginawa.saka bili ulit bago gasket,

it's SOP to check cylinder for warping once na nagbaklas ka. since nag overheat na yung oto ni TS...chances are warped na iyon.

[beeftapa]

Don't know. But if you are gonna bring it to the talyer, do it early early morning. This is to lessen travel time and have a relatively colder weather. Bring extra coolant and lots of water and stop when necessary ie your gauge tells you to. Have it cool down, refill coolant and water.

Btw stop in place where it will not be inconvenient to anyone.

It is a symptom of a blown cylinder head gasket. Top overhaul work is your solution.

Either the cooling/auxiliary fan ain't working or radiator is clogged up.

[paulomik]

Possible din na may tagas radiator mo sir. O kaya radiator cap is already faulty. Preliminaries first. Figers crossed.

Nangyari yan the other day sa brother ng officemate ko. Pina overhaul radiator pero overheat/umaapaw pa din reservoir. Radiator cap lang pala problem

[benchman]

Ano ba signs/hitsura ng deffective radiator cap?

t, you'll notice excessive amount of play dun sa part na may spring. Usually corroded na din yung spring. If that happens, the cap would not be able to hold pressure anymore, resulting to overflow ng coolant/water sa reservoir. Anyway rad caps are quite cheap. You can get a federal mogul cap at around 120php or less.

Another tell-tale sign of blown head gasket is a greasy feel sa rubber seals ng rad cap mo. Youll notice na parang may grasa sa paligid ng rad cap. Thats engine oil seeping thru the blown head gasket
