    mga sir, need your inputs... my 00 civic lately has been giving me headaches.. overheat n yta to...hehehe.. heres the scenario...

    on long stretch roads, while aircon on, temp gauge always shoots up.. siguro dhil na din sa init ng panahon, but i still find it strange... whenever i off the aircon, same speed, temp gauge, slowly normalizes...

    ano kya prob dito mga sers.... cos, ang household mechanic nmn, nde din nia ma figure out...
    sa honda center last year, what they did was, changed thermostat switch, upper radiator hose.. then ipinalinis un radiator...

    few months, naging ok, but then, eto na nga ang ngyayari.. hehehe...

    help would be appreciated..

    salamas...

    possibly theres something wrong with your aircon fan. maybe too slow to its normal turn.

    In case you bring your car to a reputable shop in your area, suggest to have your radiator checked by using cooling system tester (pressurized). This could check the condition of the hoses for leaks, radiator, radiator cap, cylinder head gasket. Check also the radiator fan, coolant temperature sensor, fan relay, thermostat.

    lagot ka, overhaul na ng makina yan... hehe joke.

    check your fan motors. dalawa yun. isa dun mahina na ang ikot. palitan mo ng surplus.

    and since napalitan na yung hose at thermoswitch, next would be the thermostat inside the engine (well, not exactly inside).

    are there any unnecessary "nose bra" or anything that blocks air flow in front of the radiator grille? recent paint job that the paint overspray might have coated your condenser or radiator? fan circuits tampered with?

    Pa-ride sa thread...

    Regarding radiator fan at aux fan....

    Tama ba?
    Kapag OFF ang A/C at normal ang temp - ON Radiator fan, OFF Aux fan
    Kapag ON ang A/C - ON pareho fan

    Paano kung OFF ang A/C pero tumataas na ang temp above middle - dapat ba mag-ON pareho fan kapag patay ang A/C?

'00 CIVIC (hello overheat??)
