Radiator / Overheating Problem

Nagbabawas ba nang coolant or may leak sa sahig? If yes, sign of water pump failure yan.

I forgot how much it cost for water pump replacement since it was a mere decade ago.

Do you think water pump yung problem (no circulation ng coolant)?

Pag binuksan ung cap ng radiator, vapor ng coolant ung lumalabas after sometime na pinatay yung engine.

sir, maraming possibilities yan, either marumi na at hirap na flow kaya may overheating or pdeng sa water pump din or within sa engine na mismo. critical na part yan so better have it checked para ma identify talaga

Any of you guys have an idea how long an engine can run without coolant before it overheats? The plastic drain plug of my radiator is broken/leaks and the radiator cannot hold water in longer than 3mins(parang gripo talaga). Sad thing is the plug broke in two such that half of the screw is stuck inside(handle broke off) so i cannot plug the leak...not sure kung aabot pa sa shop mga 20mins away and i dont want to risk overheating the car. Thanks!

Only a few minutes. Swerte na 5 minutes.
If you go fast, then it can still run. But then chances of damaging your engine is pretty high if itatakbo mo pa.

Have it towed.

Use those clay-like leak plugs or quick-dry epoxy (steel) to temporarily seal the drain plug. Kung may radiator cap, alisin mo muna papuntang shop para hindi mag-build up ang pressure.

It will just take 3-5 minutes for the engine to overheat ... What you can do is drive to the shop 3-4 am ... Stop every five minutes and let engine cool for 30 minutes then drive again another 3 minutes and let it cool 30 minutes ... Repeat until you reach the shop ... Or you can try to refill the radiator every 2 minutes but it would be risky and you might get scalded ...

Or you can have mechanic do home service and remove radiator then bring to radiator repair shop ...

Had car towed on flatbed before for 1,500 to fix a broken hose worth 80 pesos plus 300 labor ...

Most drain plugs are made of plastic. Kung ganun ang sa sasakyan mo, on the spot, pwede mo mapasikwat sa isang mekaniko yun.

Not a mechanic here. Naisip ko lang, kung may butas radiator mo, and your only goal is to bring it Sa talyer, di kaya pwede yung mga pantapal na heat resistant, Yung parang tape na parang foil. Pansamantala lang. Para madala mo sa mekaniko.

Na putulan ako dati ng throttle cable sa old pajero ko. Nasa hiway ako nun. Dinugtong ko muna yung cable using para cord para lang mauwi yung kotse.
