    *Ghosthunter - if I ask my talyer to flush out the radiator and refill with new coolant/water mix, will that solve the issue? Your DIY suggestion seems easy for a girl like me to do, siguro I can try it out nga first thank you so much for your help.

    *baludoy - sige, i will have the thermostat check din. but it seems I've been getting responses even from friends that baka nga may air sa water jacket.

    You can ask your talyer to do it for you. They'll probably not charge you anything for it.

    When doing DIY method, just don't open the radiator cap while the engine is very hot. The hot water will burst out and you might get steam burns.

    When the engine is sufficiently cool, you can do this and get the engine warmed up for the coolant to flow around.
