Mga dre I hope you can give an opinion regarding my old trusty ride. Its an old 1977 galant sigma (astron 1600), Ive been noticing kasi that its been Emiting excessive heat from the hood, I really don’t knows if im just paranoid or if its normal kasi yung temp gauge naman niya normal ang pag flactuate. Let me give you an example, lets say I warm up the car for 10 minutes in the morning, after turning off the engine tapos pumunta ako sa harap para let say check the radiator; I could already feel very warm air gushing out of the hood. While my hand is still 2 ft away from the hood latch. Or by just walking a foot beside the car’s front sides you can already feel heat. In a warm day if you put water on the hood, steam smoke can alredy be seen… remember mga dre’ this only after a 10 minute warm-up at off yung aircon ha’ .
I can still use it in and around metro manila( with aircon off) yung lang nga feel mo yung heat dinadala kasi nung hangin (from the hood) sa harap ng windshield, Pero normal yung temp gauge reading nito ha; I know your thinking that my car is too old…..but for the love of motoring, I have to do with what I can afford and what I can have, Kaya nga im trying to keep it as roadworthy as possible. One more thing s guys my cousin has an older car a 1976 galant (saturn) pero hindi naman ganito ang heat emission mula sa makina……hope you can give me an opinion, the more the better. thanks very very much!!
