    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.

    this morning while driving civic vti A/T, temp rose. i pulled to road side to check what happened. turned off engine.yun water/coolant sa reservoir was kind of "boiling"; water in radiator is full...by the way, radiator is newly installed (about a week or so..)

    i added a little water in the reservoir. when i started the engine again and checked uner the hood, i radiator fan wasnt working... what could have happened?

    i drove back home, with aircon off, windows open...temp stayed at half (normal) until i reached home.

    please advice what happened/ what to do. thanks

    check the thermostat also while you're at it.

    I tried sealing everything sa cooling system ng ride ko at napansin ko kahit ka-start ko pa lang ng engine pumupunta sa coolant reserve yung tubig galing radiator.

    Does it mean sira ang rad cap ko kaya nauubos tubig sa rad after a high speed drive? Napansin ko rin pala na medyo hindi fit yung inner lip ng rad, pwede kayang pa-reface ito kasi solid na bakal naman ito na naka-mount sa engine with 2 bolts. BTW liteace nga pala ride ko. Sinubukan kong i-disable yung hose going to the reserve at hindi tumataas ang temp ko.

    Ano po sa tingin niyo?

    Your cap is bad. Replace it with a new one... try Federal Mogul... but if that doesn't help, buy an original one from Toyota mismo, para mas lapat yung fit.

    Ang pagbalik ng comeback...
