    Guys, ask ko lang, kasi yung radiator ko, puro kalawang na kaya yun daw dahilan ng madaling pag overheat ko, yung kalawang daw na yun yung nagka-clog. so kailangan ko daw ipa overhaul yung radiator. wala naman daw leak, kaso natatakot ako na baka dahil sa mga previous overheat nya may epekto din ito sa radiator. naisip ko, gagastos din naman ako kung ipapa overhaul ko yung radiator diba, what if palitan ko na lang ng bago yung radiator palitan ko ng evercool instead na ipalinis ko sya? may napagbebentahan din ba ng 2nd hand na radiator? para benta ko na lang ung sakin tapos bili ako bago. parang ugrade ba.. meron b nun? thanks po uli!

    kung ala pang butas sa gitna--pa-general overhaul mo na lang--1500 lang pinaka mahal na general(top-bottom is removed), ang bagong radiator mura na ang 3thou..

    pagkapalinis mo, kung plastic ang ibabaw/ilalim--papalitan mo ng bronze para mas ok.. be sure na nandyan parin yung daluyan ng atf sa ilalim-->matic sasakyan mo diba??

    kung papalitan mo ng raditator, and you want an upgrade: get evercool brand and atleat 2-3 rows yung radiator..

    at sa susunod, manila pure distilled water gamitin mo--mahal wilkins/absolute,e...

    IMO, palitan na lang ng replacement brands like evercool. Use distilled water para iwas rust.

    Yung sa akin, top overhaul is only P450, pag top-bottom, P900 lang.

    Medyo nagmahal na kasi ang evercool. For Civic na matic, 5.6k pero 2 rows na ata yun.

    Kung wala pa namang leak, pwede pa-overhaul mo na lang. Tapos have it flushed para siguradong tanggal ang kalawang. Use US-made radiator flush products, kasi its very effective.

    And don't use ordinary tap water. Use coolant and distilled, para hindi madaling mag-rust ulit yung radiator

    Advtange ng surplus: mura at ang makukuha mo eh yung OEM talaga. Disadvantage (based on experience): di sing tibay ng bago kase hinde mo naman mainspek yung loob kung may corrossion na o may butas ng nabubuo.

    bukas po kasi sir, maghahanap ako ng surplus, sa banawe, dahil di ko mahanap kung ano talaga problem ng radiator ko.... laging nauubos ang tubig, pero hindi naman nagover heat, pag malamig ang panahon mas mababa ang meter reading ko. mas ok na palitan kesa magkaproblema pa in future... how much po kaya yun? any idea sir?

    Rather than surplus, I'd recommend having your original radiator fixed. Tsambahan talaga ang surplus, specially with Hondas, kasi plastic top ang rad. Except kung irreparable na.

    Original Honda radiators (Nippondenso/Denso) for Civics cost over 11k. Replacement (Evercool), mga 5.6k, pero 2 rows na, tapos bronze top pa. Surplus mga 1k lang, depende sa condition/model.

    i would not advise you going the surplus route. pag surplus, medyo baka may problem na din ang makukuha mo and it will not solve your problem.

    what i would suggest is to try having it overhauled first, mura lang naman. if the same problem is experienced, then replace it with replacement radiators like evercool.

    viepink, if your radiator brand is denso, bring it to coolmate muna (denso, pasong tamo) and have them assess kung overhaul or replacement na kailangan. pm mo si zeagle, boss sa coolmate.

    Replace with Evercool. Tested na yan. Had my previous Cefiro's radiator replaced when its plastic top blew. Problem solved.

    Also replaced our company's old Kia Ceres, radiator with an Evercool. Had to modify the mounting brackets but it solved our overheating problems.

    its easier to say to replace kung may pera ka agad,e... kung tight ka, pwede na yung overhaul nalang--lalo na kung top, buttom lang ang may butasat kalawang sa loob.. sayang yung part..

    ako i recommend replace kung butas sa gitna ang radiator mo--yun kasi ang di pwede ma-weld na...

    mga sasakyan namin dito overhaul lang naman ang radiator di naman nagkakaproblem unless other things break-down..

    1989 maxima ko radiator overhauled 10 years ago, then kakaoverhaul lang ulit beacuse of accumilated rust...1998 kia pride namin, 1st radiator overhaul lang 2 months ago ngayon ok na ulit..etong liteace-- radiator overhauled, di na ako ino-overheat due to radiator problem..

    for me, radiator is there parang heat transfer lang--just like your "takure"--pag nag-scles na do you replace it or clean it?

    kaya reasons mo lang kaya ka magpapalit ng radiator: need a bigger one or butas na yung gitna... other than that, its a matter of spending power nalang...

    if you are planning to keep your car for a long time, I suggest that you buy a new radiator na lang..

    thanks sa mga nag input. maaasahan talaga tsikot. kahapon lang ako nag post dami na nag reply ang saya ko kasi nalaman ko itong tsikot!

    yeah, siguro overhaul na lang muna ako kasi nagtanong narin ako ng radiator para sa oto ko, 5500 pinakamurang evercool brand new plus labor.

    saka sorry ignorante talaga ako, ano po yung denso? saka yung bronze magkano po yung ganun?

    may nagsabi sakin noon na pag pinalitan ko daw ng bakal radiator ko pwede dw ako pagdudahan ng future buyer ko kung sakaling ibebenta ko na madalas overheat kasi pinalitan ko ng bakal. totoo ba yun? bababa pa yung value ng car pag nalamang bakal na yung sa radiator?

    pero sabi nya, mas maganda daw kung ipapalit ko bakal like wat Mr. alwayz_yummy said, bronzer. yung 800 po ba na radiator overhaul pwede na? kasama na ba dun yung ipapalit na bronze? san kaya maganda magpa radiator overhaul? as much as possible po sana bandang cainta, I heard meron daw sa bandang Sta Lucia.. san kaya dun? yung reliable sana talaga. mahirap na baka maloko na naman ako, baka sabon lang ipang linis. hehe!

    thank you talaga sa inyong lahat!

    ewan ko ba, mas tiwala ko sa bronze than the plastic top--kasi i seen na pumuputo ang plastic top-buo, lalo na kung sobra ng pressure--good sacrifice than sa aluminum head ang mag-crack!

    pero kung nagka pinholes, masmadali at mas economical ang bronze top than those plastic tops..

    ok na yan sa 800, mura na yan--teka baka ibabaw lang, liwanagin mong ibabaw at ilalim ang patangal mo para linis na linis..pero usually, di kasama ang palit to bronze top--alam ko usually 1000-2000 pa ulit un... pero kung walang crack naman ang plastic top mo, wag mo na papalitan--tignan mo nalang kung pano gawin mas matagal alisin ang plastic top than bronze,e... tubig, pan salaksak at may liquid na ginagamit na nakalimutan ko na...

    one time sa sobrang pagtitipid ng dad ko, nag-attemp siya mag-DIY radiator overhaul sa isa sa mga trak, kasamaang palad, nabutas ng pahinante nya yung radiator habang sinasalaksak!ayun napamahal pa lalo...

    radiator general overhaul sa

    1.liteace ko--900 per radiator(japan original dual radiator set-up to! 7-liters ang laman see sig)

    2.maxima--900 din

    3.kia pride--1000 (kasi plastic-top)

    4.former delica ko -- 1200 (3-rows big radiator 7-liter capacity)

    sir plastic pa ba radiator mo?you can have it checked up sa DENSO Coolmate in Pasong Tamo extension, near Universal Motors Corp. (Nissan casa). They can replace the plastic top of your radiator with brand new plastic tops, and at the same time they will overhaul it na rin. DENSO is the brand of automotive parts and components.

    the plastic top of the radiator is there for a purpose. in case you suffer an overheat, the pressure will build up inside your cooling system, looking for a way out. sa tanso, usually hindi nga ito basta basta masisira like the plastic, but it can affect your cylinder head gasket, as well as the cylinder head itself, kasi dito lpipiliting lumabas nung pressure, instead na doon lang sa plastic top ng radiator lalabas. it will also preserve your car's overall resale value, in case you want to sell it in the future.

    hindi rin naman marupok ang plastic top, the one in my corona lasted for 12 years before it cracked, it's ok as long as you properly maintain it with distilled water.
