What's your coolant temperature?

[chronicle]

Water dissipates heat better. Coolant(glycol based) is mixed to raise the solution's boiling point, raise water's PH, push corrosion back....& those in temperate regions, this will serve as anti-freeze.
Periodic coolant swaps are required as it will degrade & turn acidic over time. Check the PH level of coolant annually. It should be maintained between 9.5-10. If it goes below 8, swap ASAP. Your engine, water pump, radiator, heater core will thank you for it.
For those who are going for a complete engine overhaul, take this opportunity to go Evans Waterless Coolant & stop worrying about periodic coolant swaps. Evans CANNOT be mixed w/ water. System should ideally be free of water upon switching.
Evans coolant stops engine problems due to water

Litmus test? Where to avail?
Actually, 3 - 4 years ako mag flushing. Or is that too long already?

Coolant degradation varies from 1 vehicle to another.....Use a digital pH meter, sir.

Got my car already. So far so good. 88c-92c nalang yung temp niya.

That's now normal.[emoji106]Grats!!!

Old water pump.



New water pump.



More often than not, water pump talaga ang salarin sa overheating. Ended up replacing the radiator (well due narin naman talaga for replacement) thermostat and radiator cap. Water pump pala ang sira. Pero ok lang at least my cooling system is top notch again.

GMB water pump 2,800 bili ko. Not bad. Magandang brand na raw ito.

Saan mo napagawa ang water pump replacement?

Hi, just for my learning lang...I understand it is a 2009 Sorento with proper Coolant on the cooling system, so how many km the engine had accumulated before that pump impeller was totally eaten out? Would just like to know para sa mga old vehicle ko to estimate when should I replace my water pump din. Thanks.

It is generally recommended to replace the pump when you replace the timing belt.

The reason is...

...

the water pump is not easy to access. when it is older, many mechanics recommend its replacement when the engine is opened, not because it needs replacement then and there, but because the engine is already conveniently open.
