RADIATOR (may putik sa loob)

[2Dmax]

Try the Lavramon service (kay Autotechnika meron... and i think kay JP Wheels in Paranaque din). Cleaning only the radiator won't be much help as the sludge will also be inside the engine cooling channels (*where the coolant runs through in the engine block) so once you clean the radiator, chances are it will get dirty again.

what is LAVRAMON?

what is LAVRAMON?

Its basically a cooling system cleaning using a speciallized machine and chemicals.

[freeloader]

Effective po ba talaga yang Lavramon?

[alwayz_yummy]

for me, kung sobrang dumi na/kalawang, have your radiator overhaul.... then bago final, put cooling system flush run engine and re-flush with running water until all the acid comes out... use distilled water next time..

[speedyfix]

don't use turco... you won't be able to get it into the engine din naman since it is so thick.

clarify muna though what you see... may halong oil ba?

bosing,

san sa paranaque ang jp wheels? ang autotechnika? been trying to find a shop that has a lav'ra'mon machine for radiator and engine cooling system flushing.

when i used to own an 82 lancer box-type, had it cleaned in a radiator shop between edsa and libertad, and changed the radiator from a 2-column to a 3-column. not sure kung open pa sila.

paki pm ako sa tibo_3rd*yahoo.com.

thanks.

-parang napansin ko once in w hile pag nagchecheck ako ng 2big sa radaiator may konting putik sa ibabaw. anong cause nito? i dont use any chemicals and just use pure water. balak ko sana pa flush then mag coolant na ako.. ano po kaya possible cause?

sir kahit anong radiator cleaning di mawawala yan, i've experienced that before. Pag ganyan me problem na Cylinder head gasket, naghahalo na langis at tubig/coolant kaya nagkakaroon ng sediments. although kahit di kayo nago-overheat me tama na ng konti head, kaya yung sakin nung nagpalit kami cylinder head, pinalinis ko na rin ung dinadaanan ng tubig thru engine, then palit upper/lower hoses, overhaul radiator and palit reservoir din para sure.

upto now wala na yung parang putik sa radiator, prestone coolant gamit ko, yung wala ng halong tubig, pure coolant lang.

sir same tayo ng experience, dati ganyan din yun radiator ko, di na ako nagpalinis ng radiator ko meron nag-recommend sa akin na gumamit ng coolant, then i-flush ko daw after 1000-km, then coolant ulit, hanggang nawala na yun kalawang nya.

Ano yung pure coolant? di ba dapat may halo water kasi masama daw pag pure cooolant?

baka pre-mixed coolant
