Radiator Losing Water [Merged]

**gerald_g** · March 10th, 2009 12:30 PM

Sa akin naman bumababa yung level ng water sa radiator, after a few days of use, pero sa reserve tank hindi. Siguro ang naidadagdag ko na water is 1/2 glass to fill it up again. Tapos medyo may malapot na kulay kalawang sa may lip/opening ng radiator.

I had my radiator overhauled a month ago. Sa tingin ko nagkaroon ng leak sa radiator na hindi pa ganun kalaki as of now. Pero bakit po kaya hindi bumababa yung sa reserve to fill up the radiator?

Just an update i had my radiator overhauled at Jorge Radiator Shop sa banawe. This was recommended by Otep. Ok na sya. Ok na cooling system. Check nyo din drain plug baka madami na bungi mga paps. Sa akin kasi may tagas din dun.

mine had the same issue, and yesterday nag overheat yung car ko... buti na lang naagapan pa...

my radiator top already had a crack and the epoxy can't hold to it any longer... good thing at di pa ako nakakalayo sa area namin...

i don't know kung napamahal ako or kung tama yung decision ko... pinapalitan ko ng tanso yung radiator top... it cost me Php 2,200 (kasama na yung overhaul)... i researched here in the forum and found na yung iba ginawa din ito...

correct me if i'm wrong, the radiator top (denso yung brand) would cost around 7k to 8k? well... medyo tight budget as of this moment, so i had no other choice...

anyway, the car is doing fine as of the moment...

Mahal na pala, the last time we did that on a corolla 1995 the bill
was 800 pesos and hangang ngayon ok pa ang radiator. The car is
now with our neighbor 3 houses away. trouble free pa rin yon radiator
with tanso top. That was 12 years ago na.

kung wala overhaul mga 1,500 lang.. pero sayang naman kung di ko pa overhaul e binaba na rin naman yung radiator... pero may nagsabi sa akin na mahal daw pero di naman sinabi kung magkano aabutin kung dapat e mura... so until now clueless ako kung napamahal ako... pero ok naman yung kotse ko so ok na rin ako...

Ok na iyan, kahit mag dagdag ka pa ng 6 na bote ng san miguel sa mechanic
mo. You also have to put a premium on skilled work.
Sa US mahal custom work
