Overheating at High Speed (revs) and uphill

[1D4LV]

ask ko lang, ok ba mag top-up ng reservoir using distilled water kung pre-mix coolant ang nakalagay sa cooling system mo?

kasi nang nag-palit ako ng coolant last month kinulang na iyong honda type 2 coolant na nabili ko ( 1 galllon jug). eh napaka-hirap mag-hanap pa naman dito ng type 2 coolant sa atin so sa reservoir may halong distilled water na nailagay ko

you still have to top up with a coolant mixture, otherwise, hindi na tama ang magiging mixture ng coolant and water sa radiator and makina mo pag-ikot ng fluid.

so anong direct consequence nito bro? mag- overheat ba siya over time ( or iikli ang period of effectivity niya) even though majority ng laman ng cooling system iyong type 2 coolant?

definitely, iikli ang period of effectivity nya..... pero again, you have to change coolant every year.
ang magiging effect lang nya are:

a) proper mixture of coolant and water (1:1 rate), gives you a higher boiling point compared to lets say 80% water and 20% coolant.
b) using coolant minimizes risk of radiator corrosion and formation of rust.

a) 1:1 That also gives you lower coolant thermal conductivity. 30-70 is fine in most cases.
b) Can't amen enough to this.

May tanong ako mga bro, 2nd hand lang auto ko. 1st ay nung na-diagnosed na radiator cap pala yung may problema pero after that, pag paakyat kami ng batasan hills, nasa 3/4 yung sa panel sensor ko pero pag traffic, 3/4 pa din siya. pero nung pina-check ko ulit sa mekaniko, nakita na sira na yung thermostat kaya tinanggal na siya. After that, nung paakyat na naman kami ng batasan, nag-3/4 na naman siya pero pag traffic, nasa 1/2 lang yung panel sensor ko. Heto po tanong ko:

1. Ano kaya yung possible na problema? Radiator overhaul muna or Head Gasket/Cylinder Head check up na?
2. Ok lang ba tumakbo ng walang thermostat lalo sa long drive?

Btw, Honda Accord 2000 po ang ride ko. Thanks po sa makakasagot
