good day to all, i encountered this problem last new year, nag punta kami ng mariveles bataan from laguna to bataan its a long trip almost 6 hrs. napansin ko po n mabilis tumataas ang temp. gauge ng oto ko. then nung check ko yung radiator ubos na ang laman and kumukulo yung water reservoir. check ko po tubig ng raditor wala nman pong langis. as far as a i know pag me prob. sa cylinder gasket may langis ang water sa radiator but fortunately wala nman po. may Questions are: 1.ano po posible problem ng oto ko 2. bakit po nwawala ang tubig 3. bakit po kumukulo yung reservoir 4. ano po pwede kong gawin to elliminate this problem.

oto ko po ay toyota corolla 1.6 GL

thanks in advance.

hey bro, well theres a possibility that you are pretty close to getting a BHG (Blown Head Gasket). but before we even conclude that its a BHG, dinagdagan mo ba ng tubig ang cooling system? is there any leaks?? and did you "burp" / "bleed" the cooling system???.

anywayz, but if theres no visible leaks and if the cooling system is still taking too much water / coolant, and if its still boiling up. then paniguradong may BHG ang oto mo.

aite, peace.

bro, thnks s reply, tingin mo malaking gastos to! wla po ksi akong idea kung mag kano ganito problem. thanks po ulit ng marami

sir tingnan mo rin yun aux fan mo kung gumagana pa, baka rin barado na yun radiator mo hndi na maka circulate ng mabuti yun tubig, kailangan na siguro ma overhaul yun radiator mo.
marami kasing causes ang overheat, process of elimination lang sir

mga bro, what are the symptoms of bad cylinder gasket?

thanks once again

its the same as what you stated above, but heres some other symptoms added as well.

-overheating
-water/coolant loss (internal)
-boiling of water/coolant (or gurgling / hissing sound in the cooling system, coming from the radiator, reservior, radiator hose. etc..)
-water/coolant overflowing the reservior (even while idling)
-constant white smoke going out the tail-pipe (parang may smoke machine sa tambutso!)
-unusual smell coming off the tail-pipe (smell of Coolant)
-engine missfire (due to wet spark plugs & combustion chamber)
-engine oil mixing w/ water/coolant (thats if the Head Gasket is totally blown!)

aite, peace.

1. check the oil bka may tubig o baka wala ka ng oil
2. check the aux fan if ok. initially di sya iikot but on certain temp aandar na sya.
3. check the the radiator it self baka barado
4. check also the water pump baka sira na o may butas
5. check the thermostat if ok din

Hi Carlo, see my reply below.

Auxillary fan may be ok. Air flow can cool the engine during highway driving even without the aux fan, as long as coolant is present.

then nung check ko yung radiator ubos na ang laman and kumukulo yung water reservoir. You probably had a leak on your cooling system. Continued use of the car may have damaged your cyl head gasket and/or cylinder head.

check ko po tubig ng raditor wala nman pong langis. as far as a i know pag me prob. sa cylinder gasket may langis ang water sa radiator but fortunately wala nman po. This is not necessarily true. Did you check your oil dipstick? Coolant may be mixing with crankcase oil. Oil will appear milky.

may Questions are:
1.ano po posible problem ng oto ko? Probably a blow head gasket, warped/cracked cyl head.
2. bakit po nwawala ang tubig? Compression gasses leaking through the failed head gasket to the cylinder head's coolant passages, displacing water.
3. bakit po kumukulo yung reservoir? Cylinder compression gasses
4. ano po pwede kong gawin to elliminate this problem. Conduct thorough cooling system diagnosis. Have someone perform a cylinder head leakeage test on-engine before pulling down the cylinder head.

oto ko po ay toyota corolla 1.6 GL

thanks in advance.

my problem is like this, i have honda esi 93. plague ako nag overheat so dinala ko sa ibat ibang mekaniko para pa check sabi nila me problema daw sa engine kc natigas yung mga hose at nag build up yung pressure which is true, kc nung pinalitan ko yung radiator bigla nalng me sumingaw galing engine, nagpapalit din ako ng thermoswitch.kala ko ok na pero ganun pdin walang pinagbago, nakulo yung radiator ko at ang bilis tumaas ng temp, sabi ng nag check ng car ko na ang problema daw ay BHG na, so i said sige pagawa ko na,and to make the long story short ginawa na sya, pero i still have the same problem, nataas padin sya pero di na gaya ng dati,di na naabot sa red, at pag wala a/c sa gitna lng sya up and down yung sa thermo guage..ang tanong ko lng, is this normal pag nabuksan na ang engine, di nba sya babalik sa dati nya na naka pirmi sa gitna yung temp? or should i consider change of engine? sabi kc skin na once na nag overheat na ang honda might as well buy a new engine kc sakit nlang ng ulo ang mangyayari? pls help....

..change thermo switch
..change radiator
..top overhaul and fix BHG

hey bro, did they even "purge" or bleed the cooling system?? also, did they replace the Thermostat?? kasi posibleng may air pa na trap sa loob ng coolinh system and the air needs to be bled out. also, nung ginawa ba nila yung Head Gasket replacement, did they re-surface (or re-built) the Cylinder Head?? like did they do a complete Valve Job, etc?

aite, peace.
