Radiator and Reservoir still losing water after cleaning

[lloydi12345]

Hi, I just had changed my rad cap and reservoir container and overhauled my radiator at Jemson's Electrical and Jorge's Radiator Shop but my stock radiator and reservoir are still losing water. I am still refilling it a cup of water every three days. Should I change the radiator already or check first the other things like cylinders etc.

have you had your thermostat checked? baka parati lang nakabukas.

Have you also checked for leaks? Baka naman may mga leaks ka na hindi mo lang napapansin. Tsaka how old is your car already?

Wala sir nabanggit si Jorge, sabi nya lang daw kapag magleak cylinder gasket something na daw yung kelangan palitan.

Overhauling your radiator and cleaning your reservoir will not cure your water loss problem, not unless you have a leaking radiator or reservoir in the first place. And neither will a new radiator help. For starters, check your hose connections, clamps tight enough? No visible dried water stains? If your car is equipped with a heater, check the hoses on them too.

Observe your water consumption vis-a-vis your driving habits, traffic situation, time of day, etc. Check you oil for any abnormality, milky colored sludge, etc. And also check your coolant for foaming, turbid color, etc.

Assuming there are no leaks, your system is apparently not properly sealed. Meaning anything that surges into your reservoir gets spat out and doesn't return into the cooling loop when pressure normalizes.

I checked the engine oil and it's still the same as usual. Nagbabawas pa rin ng tubig pero minimal lang. Maybe 1 cup of water a week. Will it be fine if I'll leave it like this? Refilling it with 1 cup of clean water from time to time without using coolant?

sir fill up the reservoir until full mark lang, wag hanggang tip. Issue ko to dati, i fill it in hanggang mag overflow and yet daily laging bawas sya til someone told me not to overfill it. naging stable sya sa full level since then.

In some cars, the source of the leak is the water pump. If this component is hidden from view, detecting the leak is difficult.

Sir naka vti ako, ganyan din sakit. Pero ung akon nakita ko sa hoses.

Ang ginawa ko nahlagay ako ng coolant na matapang ung kulay, say red, green or etc. Then testing, nakita ko na ung leak eh paunti unti sa may hose connection dahil sa tuyong kulay ng coolant.

Try mo sir baka makatulong.

Hi sir dongsky07, thanks sa suggestion po. I tried this one pero ganun pa rin eh. Napansin ko may tulo na sa umaga sa garahe namin pero not that much.

naku bulacan pa po ako, ang layo ng cavite hahaha!

I think it's in the hoses. The clamps may be loose. Check this article out - The Causes of a Leaking Radiator Hose ? And how to fix one - Roberts AIPMC Blog. Hope it helps. May leaks din ba when your car is idle or not running at all?

Boss Brainmafia, san sa QR? Springville lang kasi ako

I have a Federal Mogul 0.9 cap, new hoses, napa overhaul na rin ang radiator some time ago. A small cup or less ang water loss sa akin every week - di ko alam kung normal ito, wala namang overheating. On 50/50 coolant:water mix.

ang normal is walang mababawas na coolant. pero kung nagbabawas ng 1 small cup per week, malakas na leak yan. kung 1 small cup per year or kahit every 6 months, tolerable pa siguro.

kahit may leak sa system, walang overheating na mangyayari basta di maubusan ng coolant ang radiator mo. kaya check coolant level always and top up when needed.

Estimate lang naman yung one small cup per week, minsan two weeks na lumilipas parang wala pang nabawas. Dunno kung ano ang history ng water pump neto. '92 model pala baka dahil sa tanda na rin.

Ganun rin ang rate ng water loss ng Hilux namen kasi sa probinsya eh
