    i've experienced that already, but my reservoir wasn't losing water. the radiator cap can't do its job of getting water from my reservoir because of lack of pressure. my radiator had a teeny weeny leak. still, pa check mo pa rin, coz that might be the culprit.

    Pa check mo thermostat.Dun sa nauna. It's actually kinda good -- kaya lang madaming possibilities. Ang pinakasimple at madaling remedyuhan ay baka palitin na ang radiator cap. Other than that, puwede ding may maliit na tagas (hindi mo pa makita kasi steam pa lang pero kalaunan lalaki yan) anywhere from your radiator to the reservoir or even the water pump.

    have you mechanic check:

    1. fan: sometimes stuck up kaya ayaw umandar, or sira na ang motor.
    2. thermoswitch: eto ang nag-o-on sa fan, kung sira to, di dapat mag-o-on kahit sandali ang fan mo.


    walang kinalaman ang thermostat sa pag on and off ng aux fan. ang thermostat ang nagbubukas ng engine water channel para makapasok ang tubig.

    pa-check mo sa mekaniko. possible culprits are:

    1. radiator cap
    2. baradong radiator
    3. patay sinding fan

    mejo general yung info mo binigay, so it's kinda hard to say what the real problem is. mas maganda pag na-diagnose yan hands-on.

    i'd say the honda oem ones (idemetsdu ata brand) w/c you can buy from the casa. it's pre-mixed already so there's no need to do the 50/50 measurement procedure already. if i'm not mistaken it costs P250/liter

    kung out of budget ang new radiator, pa overhaul mo na lang ito mga 350pesos lang check na ito kung meron tagas at kung meron baradong linya.

    Thanks din sa input... ok na rin auto ko. nilinis lang yung thermoswitch at pina-flushing ko radiator. sobra daming kalawang lumabas. Yung thermostat tinanggal muna at ikabit ko na lang daw pag malinis. nag stuck up na kasi. mas ok ba na bilin orig na thermostat o pwede na yung japan lang?

    pa flushing ko uli next week pero without using any chemicals. linis lang.

    Btw, purified water pinalagay sa akin. wag muna raw mag coolant after one month na lang daw.. tama ba to?

    you don't need to clean the thermoswitch imo... be carefull of overhauled radiators. they tend to leak din after a while.

    nagkaron kasi kalawang yung thermoswitch dati kasi naka-recta yung fan at hindi nakapasok sa thermoswitch.
