    Hello,

    I have a 1996 Honda Civic VTEC VTI A/T and have problems with cooling system. Just had my radiator overhauled and replaced both endtanks with copper but my temperature still go beyond the norm. All my hoses are new with no leaks and water pump is working fine. I'm planning to buy a new thermostat and ECT switch for Honda, any suggestion before I do this?

    Thank you.

    1. Check your radiator cap .
    2. Put coolant might help.
    3. Check auxillary fan and radiator fan if working.
    4. Thermostat Think thats the problem.
    5 air in radiator need bleed.

    Paps, i have the same problem before, pareho lang tayo ng auto, baka ayaw gumana ng aux fan mo, check mo muna kung gumagana, don't open the airconditioning unit para makita mo kung mag automatic sya.

    Much better sir kung mapapacheck mo sa mekaniko (speedyfix,cruven,speedlab or etc.) pasilip nyo sir kung papalitan na ba o pwede pang linisin yung thermostat ng car, same din po sa ECT switch.
