Question on Radiator

**brianitus** · February 2nd, 2006 12:15 PM

I read in a previous post that basically No-No ang pagtouch ng radiator...patulong naman..how many in this forum would attempt to patch up a leaky or cracked radiator?

you can do it pero hindi tatagal. Assuming yung top nung radiator mo eh yung plastic/fiberglass. Ano ba oto mo? Sa Civic hatch ko I eventually bought an evercool radiator.

I'd change the top if it were plastic. But if I had the money, I'd just buy a replacement.

Still, tumatagal naman ang repaired radiator if it's done well.

I've used EPOXY STEEL with limited success. But it worked naman. hehehe. Wala kasi akong time ipa-ayos dati.

Since radiator pinag-uusapan baka pede kung idugtong dito 'yong leak na nakita ko sa Lancer namin...
Anybody have any idea why is coolant coming out of that hole? May tama na ba water pump? Pic is taken underneat the engine. As you can notice 'yong screws na may coolant sa oil pan na 'yan.

(Mods pakidelete na lang post ko in case na OT.)

Tama ba ako sa iniisip ko> hope to hear from you... Happy Chinese New Year po...

if yourr car is casa maintained, toyota will replace your coolant every 40T and 80T km PMS..

pag nababawasan ng coolant yung radiator check also the radiator cap, it may need replacing.

ask ko lang mga bossing,since about radioator itong topic, tumataas kasi yung temp gauge ng car ko. dinala ko sa mekaniko, natsk mga fans, radiator, etc. okay naman daw. para daw sigurado, alisin na lang yung radiator thermostat para tuloy-tuloy ang takbo ng tubig. sabi nya,wala naman silbi yon sa pinas kasi mainit sa atin. so, pinaalis ko nga. ayos naman.hindi na nga masyado tumataas temp gauge.

pero wala ba epekto yun sa car in the long run?
