Radiator overflow container not returning water

[1D4LV]

^^check your radiator cap....mukhang kailangan na ding palitan.

check the clutch of the radiator fan - baka loose na. experienced this before, umiikot naman radiator fan pero hindi nagbabago speed kahit i-rev ko yung engine.
The clutch was refilled with silicon afterwhich -OK na.

Thnx 1D4LV, a week ago, I just changed my radiator cap from 0.9 to 1.1bar. Manual says [SIZE=2]12.8-17 psi so I believe I should be fine. [/SIZE]
[SIZE=2][/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]Pansin ko nga parang same ang radiator fan speed kahit mag rev ako. Ok leme check on that area. Thnx rmpmla.

Update ko lang additional findings and actions ko. Also have few questions.

- Placed the vehicle on an inclined area and bled the radiator for possible air.
- radiator fan speed is ok pero madali lang syang ikutin pag naka stop engine. Is this loose or normal. How do I tighten it?
- After driving, nag lagay ako ng newspaper sa ilalim ng engine to findout kung meron leak ang water pump and etc. Left it to idle for a few minutes - then parked it overnight. End result is negative leaks.
- Next day at idle, I've noticed some bubbles on the radiator top opening after topping up with water. After placing back the radiator cap, the upper radiator hose becomes hard after few minutes of idle. After being driven on a highway for about 15mins or 10-15kms, I've noticed bubble noise coming from the overflow container. When I opened it, it was full of water/coolant and bubbles were visible as if it was boiling. I think there is air pressure coming from the Radiator? Slowly openned the radiator cap, then I've noticed bawas na yung tubig ng close to 1L. Also noticed intermittent light gray smoke during idle on traffics and light to medium Black Smoke on 3000rpm while driving.

Signs of BHG? Top Overhaul?

check rad cap and drain plug paps. Kung ayaw dalin mo na sa iyong suking radiator shop.

zanch, dhoyosel thanks sa response.

Hanggang third opinion sa mga ibat ibang shops, head gasket ang culprit dahil sa pressure build-up kaya pina top over haul ko na.

Cylinder Head Gasket but wait there's more ang problem.
May micro hole ang isang hose sa bandang likod ng engine malapit sa firewall kaya mahirap makita pag di inalis yung intercooler, may tama din yung 4th cylinder liner OUCH! and best of all may maliit na crack and cylinder head ... OUCH! OUCH!!

2 Days na naka confine sa shop yung sasakyan ko, sana madaan pa sa machine shop ang cylinder head crack habang nag iipon ng pang bagong engine.

Sabado bukas at mababantayan ko sasakyan. Mag lilibot din para sa parts na kelangan.

Update ko thread kung ano magiging progress.

Meantime mga sirs, pa share ng mga experiences nyo ... ie. cost, break-in procedure ... para more or less ma contrast ko sa inputs ng mechanic ...

[zanch]

Sige paps sana maayos na yan. Pag ok yung shop paki post na din for reference and loc. Thanks!

update ko lang thread.

pumasa sa initial crack test ang cylinder head ko.. so good thing.
yung liners naman, nasa upper tip lang yung defect about 0.5mm na galos ng tubig most probably. Sabi ng mechanic, hindi naman daw umaabot sa area na yun yung piston ring. There'll be another round of crack and leak test after the machine shop works e.g. resurfacing ...

Eto ang gastos ko sa machine shop.

Valve seat reface 680.00
Valve reface 520.00
Replace Valve guide 680.00
Crack test 500.00
Cly head resurfacing 1,200.00

Post ko complete cost pagka tapos lahat.

Baka may butas yung cap ng resorvoir mo kaya imbes na ang radiator mo ang sumipsip yung resorvoir mo ang kumukuha ng tubig kasi may butas.Ganyan din sakin eh.
