1st: never use tap water to fill up the reservoir. this will expedite the corrosion in your radiator; use 50/50 mix of coolant -- prestone or some other brand.

2nd: at least flush your coolant every other year. this will help declog the buildup in your radiator.

if a new water pump did not help, then the thermostat must be the culprit. if i were the mechanic, i would have checked the thermostat first prior to changing the water pump since it is cheaper to change.

check mo radiator cap mo for traces of oil; smell it or touch it, there will be some traces if your head gasket is leaking. other traces of busted HG is the sweet smell (not really sweet) on your exhaust or white smoke coming out when you first turn on your ignition. madaming possibilities.

if you have a leaking HG, have it corrected immediately, otherwise you are looking at 20k-50k overhaul... yung engine block mo, baka ipadala for resurfacing and it's costly.

good luck!

sir posible din kaya na may problema na HG ko, pag start ko sa morning after a minute may tubig tubig na lumalabas at may white smoke na lumalabas pero sandali lang 2 to 3 minutes cya may white smoke tapos wala na. pero sa temp gauge hindi naman cya tumataas sa kalahati steady lang below level. honda ctiy 1997 model all manual carb type sir auto ko. ask ko narin sir sa deep stick, oil level ko pantay sa pangalawang butas normal lang ba yon sir or sobra sa oil? tia..
