Radiator Losing Water [Merged]

[mikejohnny]

correct! actually brand new evercool na talaga nasa isip ko, nag-aantay lang additional budget, more than 5k din kasi nagastos ko dun sa pinagawa ko. 4,800 kasi dito ung rad, plus 530 ung upper and lower hose, palitan ko na rin para sure.

Tuwing kelan po ba talaga iyung average para magrefill ing water reservoir?

[speedyfix]

dapat halos hindi ka nagdadagdag ng tubig sa reservoir.

[myhondaesi]

Anu pong pwedeng reason kung bakit nagbabawas ng tubig ang reservoir?

Meron rin ako radiator problem, pero looks like a radiator leak. I'm losing mga 4oz/day. Meron talaga tagas sa radiator area (gitna ng car), and it's leaking pink fluid (Caltex Long Life Coolant). Though puno ang radiator ko pag open, yung reserve ang nauubos. Pero di naman sa reserve ang tulo.

Sir SPEEDYFIX, gumagawa po kayo ng radiator? Gaano katagal po kaya ang trabaho kung radiator leak (assuming puwede i-hinang)? Revo VX200 po ride ko.

[speedyfix]

we don't fix. we normally replace them. it's a better solution in the long run.

eto tungkol sa 2000 Revo Diesel ni erpats..

yung dating original radiator nya eh na-overhaul nung 2005 at tumagal ng 1year naman... tapos nung mga year 2006, meron na ulit leak at add lagi ng water mga 2 to 3cups every 2 days, minstan overheat pag nakalimutan nila lagyan ng water.. sinabi ko na palitan na at baka lumala problem, kaso ayaw ni erpats at kuripot hehe

last Monday, march 26,2007, pinalitan namin ng brandnew 3-rows Evercool radiator, kay speedyfix ko na binili at pinakabit hehe... tawag ako ng umaga at nakabit ng hapon.... thanks speedyfix

eto na bago:
-Evercool radiator 3-rows (kita ko na meron na talaga butas yung lumang radiator)
-OEM thermostat from toyota
-Coolant from toyota
-OEM radiator cap (2005 nabili)

hindi na gaano overheat tulad ng dati..

pero may problem pa rin, bigla napupuno yung water reservior nya at minsan mag-overflow pag hinataw tapos tataas na temp gauge to 1/2 to 3/4 tapos balik ulit sa normal.. bago pa namin palitan ng bagong radiator eh minsan ganito na...

ano po dapat ko pa-check sa engine at ano kelangan palitan? cylinder gasket kaya? kaya ba ito ng 1day job?

thanks...

Ibig sabihin na-o-overwhelm ang cooling system ninyo tuwing hinahataw.

Given that you have new rad.cap, thermostat and radiator, and are using the proper 50/50 coolant ratio, there could still be a number of things that you could look at:

1. Radiator cap has too low a pressure rating, so it springs early, releasing coolant to the overflow tank. I'm not sure about the Revo, but some manufacturers have different rated caps. I don't think this is the problem, though.

2. Cavitation at water pump, or slipping water pump pulley. At high revs, di siya nakakasabay.

3. May problem ka sa radiator fan? It might not be fast enough anymore, and it might be impeding air flow at speed.

Ride is a Lancer GLXi A/T. 'Ung tubig sa reservoir nababawasan din. On a weekly basis, nagdadagdag ako ng mga 4-8 oz. Daily drive ito ni kumander ng total of 28km a day or 150km a week consumes 4-8oz of water in reservoir.
Ang pinapalitan ko palang ay 'yong radiator cap, pero ganun pa din.
Ayaw ko naman pa palitan 'yong water pump niya hanggat di confirmed na siya nga 'yong problema... one day nakita ko may tulo ng green sa ilalim ng engine bay, so tinignan ko at eto 'yong nakuhanan ko ng pic (the pic is >1 yr-old). E2ng pagbabawas ng tubig sa radiator ay more than a year na. Ano kaya prob?

what part is that? is that well away from the radiator and radiator hoses? if it is away and near the belts i think you have a water pump leak.

i had the same problem, i kept topping up about 500ml every week and kept seeing coolant leak on the garage. i looked under the car and found traces of leak near the compressor belt. when i showed it to my trusted mechanic he had no doubt it was the water pump.
