Radiator: Repair or Replace?

[beetle]

Here's the story, I was cruising along EDSA near proj7 with my mitsu L300 when suddenly i saw my battery warning lights going "gaga". park sandali sa tabi and then i saw water tumatagas ng malakas from the radiator. lakas ng pressure. so sabi ko may leak na yung radiator.

i was fortunate enough to be near a gas station, i had my engine cooled first tapos nilipat ko na yung van hear at my gf's place.

tom papatingnan ko na and have it fixed. pero in the long run, should i have it fixed lang or replace na? parang 3rd time na ata nangyari to...

anybody knows magkano damage ng bnew na radiator and secondhand?


thanks mga sir.

have it overhauled. if you have extra money, replace na with brand new. also have your belts and water pump checked.

[ejr]

ipa overhaul mo muna.dapat tanggal taas at baba tapos lilinisin bawat butas then spray ng tubig na me pressure para tanggal ang mga dumi sa loob.kung me extra money ka eh bili ka ng brand new. kung bibili ka ng bago eh yung mas malaki kesa dati pero hindi dapat magkakaproblema sa kabitan nya. mas malaki kasi mas madami rows kaya mas maganda performance. ganun kasi ginawa nung friend ko na me L300. tapos nilagyan pa nya ng waterspray para pag nataas yung temp.eh on nya yung spary then nababa na mas ok din ngayun yung aircon nya. better kung magtanung ka sa mga me L300 kasi me ginagawa sila dyan para hindi mag overheat.

sir baka yung seal lang ang may problema (yung parang soldering iron pag tinunaw) maganda pa overhaul mo muna tapos pag bumalik ulit ang problema buy brandnew or kuha ng surplus

Teka, bakit pati yung battery warning lights mo umiilaw (going gaga)?? Hindi naman related ang overheating sa alternator ah?

Anyway, have it thoroughly checked muna. Baka hindi sa radiator ang butas. Maraming possible suspects (hose, leak sa water pump, bypass hoses, etc.)

also check kung ok pa yung radiator cap. baka ndi siya nagrerelase ng pressure. it can cause some hoses to break.

[recklus]

kung kaya pa i weld repair lang, pero kung di na kaya, no choice but to replace with brand new one

[speedyfix]

replace na imo. it's not worth the hassle of it always happening to you.

[beetle]

sir ejr, thanks for the suggestion.

right now, budget wise medyo dehado pa for a brandnew one. ill have it checked tom kung ano na lagay. hopefully i can have it fixed kahit temporarily lang.


saan po na pwede magpaoverhaul ng radiator? and how much will it cost?

sir speedy fix, do you these kind of service? ty to all

[beetle]

ok na pa mga sir. hose lang daw ang problem, worn out na daw. and previous na nasira sabi ng dad ko eh hose lang din (yung dating na wornout, sa taas ata ng engine eh). ok naman service sa akin, 380 lang lahat. dapat nga pinalinis ko na 600 lang daw (overhaul sabi nila). shop is located in edsa mcu.

Baka umilaw ang battery kasi namatay na ang engine kasi overheat na. ang saan ba location mo kasi dito sa cavite city rad overhaul cost only 350pesos tanggal na ibabaw at baba nito tapos lahat ng butas linis. kaya ako every 1.5years pa overhaul ko na kahit wala pang sign of overheat di ko na pinaaabot doon.

Ang alam ko sa L300 naka lagay na radiator dyan eh Evercool kaya matibay yan kaya bihirang mag kaka problema ang radiator mismo. Just make sure na laging na papa linis ang mga tubo.

[tanatej]

As anyone who has had a radiator blow up on them would attest, umiilaw ang dash lights kasi the hot water being sprayed all over your engine is shorting out all the sensors, senders, and everything else the water gets in contact with. It'll dry out soon though and things will be back to normal. hopefully.
