overheat

[Galant_VR_94]

Talagang problem na yan ng mga vanette bro. Tama ang mga sinabi ng mga fellow tsikoteers sayo, try mo pa-check ang radiator mo, baka kailangan na i-overhaul. May vanette kami dati ganyan din, pinalitan namin ng radiator and bought an additional aux fan. After that naging okay naman ang temp nya kahit sa traffic.

Bro, I own a circa 1998 Vanette. When it was relatively newer, I never had the overheating problem even in heavy traffic. But a few years ago, I noticed that the temperature is abnormally high during traffic. So, we had the condenser near the radiator repositioned underneath the front passenger side and placed an extra auxiliary fan for it. After that, no more engine temperature problem even in heavy traffic.

If you don't have the budget yet for the above modification, you may also try to add silicone on your clutch fan. I am sure it needs 'reconditioning', since this direct drive fan is the only one cooling your radiator (and your second condenser).... You should also make sure that the space between the radiator and the condenser is clean all the time. Because overtime, it accumulates web-like contams hindering the flow of air....

Good luck. The Vanette is one great vehicle (not the ride.... ), so I guess if you do not have this problem, then it is something worthwhile to keep. I never disposed of my baby even if we have new rides....

Suggest ko na lang din, try mo muna check kung merong mga tagas mga hose lines or ang thermostat housing mo. Its also one cause for rising temperatures bro.

I have the same problem sa liteace ko. Lately napapansin ko madalas akong magdagdag ng tubig sa radiator, siguro mga half liter for a 40km trip. Kapag nalimutan kong magdagdag, bilis tumaas ng temp.

I also notice na sa may radiator cap mismo tumatapon ang tubig kahit na masikip naman.

What could be the cause? please help.

Change your rad cap. Kahit akala mong masikip, worn-out na yung rubber gasket, so it doesn't form a complete seal kaya tumatapon yung tubig.
