I guess meron effect, pa check mo na lang to be sure...sobrang naubusan na ng tubig yan, kung yun defective nga na radiator cap eh sobrang nagbabawas na ang tubig yun wala pa kaya...hehehe

December 10th, 2007 09:10 AM #5When you said, "biglang tumaas sobra yung temp," how high was it exactly? Did it boil over? Kung hindi naman, then you should be fine. No caps or even defective ones lowers your cooling system's efficiency very drastically, as what you've just experienced. But if you didn't overheat, then just buy a new cap and rest easy. ;)

normal lang iyun pag taas ng temperature dahil natatapon iyun tubig sa radiator... kailangan makuha muli radiator cap sa pinagkargahan or bumili ka ulit ng bago... hirap na baka maubosan ng tubig ang radiator at bigla kakatok ang makina. gastos sa overhaul.

I had this bad experience before sa previous mekaniko ko. When I had him do something with the car, and I picked it up after office hours, I immediately drove the car pauwi. Na notice ko na lang when I was already halfway home (around 20 kms na tinakbo), umuusok na ang harapan ng sasakyan ko, but when I checked the temp gauge at midpoint naman. I immediately parked the car, and opened the hood, lo and behold the radiator cap was not properly put on. Naubosan na pala ako ng tubig. What I did was that I placed water (mdyo nagiispill nga e). I don't know if it was the right thing to do during that time, pero nagpapanic na ako coz medyo madilim na na lugar yun and walang masyadong katao tao. Sa awa ng diyos nakauwi pa naman ako. The following day I talked to the stupid mechanic, and he admitted it. Sad for him he lost a customer because of what he did.
Pero one thing I notice lang is that jeepney drivers here do not place a radiator cap sa mga sasakyan nila. They just refill water from time to time.

let the car cool down first before adding water otherwise magkaroon ng thermal shock iyun engine at possible mag crack ang engine block...
mga jeepney wala nga sila radiator cap, pero masdan niyo everytime nag stop sila ng matagal karga karga sila ng tubig...

Iba naman sir ang radiators ng mga jeep at masyadong mga oversize yan unlike sa mga kotse na sobrang liit.
Pero as long tumatakbo yan ng maayos at di naman nag overheat after mo lagyan ng tubig ay ok lang yan. Sisirit kase ang tubig nyan pag walang takip .. ang nakakatakot lang kung minsan ay madami talagang bad effects ang overheating and worst is tamaan talaga ang engine pero depende naman talaga yan.
but it I think your case should be alright since umaandar naman kotse mo, obserbahan mo na lang.
