Am I overheating?

[r1chm0nd]

Good evening gurus.. I hope you can give me some inputs based on what I am experiencing with my car. Sometimes, the temperature gauge is just above the midway point (As in a line or two after the halfway mark), I just ignore it then after some time it will go down below the halfway mark.

There's no specific time in which this happens. I don't know if this is already considered as overheating.. what do you guys think? TIA!

Edit : BTW my car is 95 EG

not yet overheating. what are the symptoms sir? loosing water, power lost, running on high rev?

Losing water sa reservoir tank sir, pero minimal lang.. After around 100km trip nababawasan na. What I do is every trip, I refill the reserve tank with water na lang.

How will I know if I'm already overheating? No power loss naman and I stay on 1.5K to 2K rpm sir.. Thanks for the quick reply, kala ko overheat na agad yun.. I believe I'm drinking too much coffee hehehe!!

may leak sir. anyway yung up and down ba ng temp ay kung aandar yung rad fan?

overheat kung lagpas ka na 3/4 sa temp

[r1chm0nd]

Sir I don't know if tumataas ung temp pag hindi umaandar yung rad fan.. Kasi it happens after driving for some time eh..

I already had my radiator overhauled, lower rad hose replaced. My upper rad hose is still okay daw. I noticed lang that my rad cap have a slight "punit"..? Diba may goma yun na paikot sa baba ng spring? May konting punit doon sir.. Dun kaya ung fault?

i think theres the fault. baka escaping water na if the water in the rad is hot enough. try replacing that first and see what happens.

sa older cars, ang temp needle ay typically nasa malapit sa lowest.

sa mas bagu-bagong mga sasakyan, typically nasa middle (typical na puwesto). as long na hindi tumataas more than the middle, malamang ok iyan.

wait tayo sa mga may same model ng car mo.

Sir tumataas sa middle, pero hindi sobrang taas, I think a line after the middle line. After a while bumabalik din just below the middle line.

I think warning sign na iyan.

gumagamit ka ba ng coolant?

Nung pinalitan ko yung lower rad hose, naglagay ako ng 50/50 coolant mixture. Then sa reserve tank, distilled water lang. Since nababawasan yung reserve tank, I refill it with distilled water only.
