Leak or Not? =(

As long as fit for ESi yung makuha mo, you won't have any problems with the mounting!

AFAIK, nung nag-DIY baklas ako niyan eh pliers ang ginamit ko sa clamps!

Yung iba kasi screw-typw, so depende din.

Pero try mo kaya muna higpitan yung current clamps pap gaya ng sabi nila, kung wala namang leaks ang hoses eh baka pwede pa yan!

^ korek. usually screw type lang yang clamps. mabibili rin yan sa ace o handy man... kelangan mo lang nyan e screw driver/philipps at pliers (baka di na nga ung pliers e). ung hose check mo lang for signs of leaks say mga holes o breakage.

di ba humahalo sa langis yung tubig mo? baka worn out na cylinder head gasket mo.

I don't see any oil mixed with the coolant/water mixture, only some rust hehe! but not pure rust naman..

As I've said, I don't experience any overheat issues.. I hope it stays that way.. (knock on wood)

I'm just bothered kasi my dad's vios doesn't need to refill coolant/water mixture after usage eh..

Thanks for the replies! I'll try to tighten the clamps using phillips ASAP!

It also happened with my father's honda civic, no leaks but the water level decreases drastically after use. We later found out that the hose has a leak when running and later the hole becomes bigger when hot.

Hi sir, did you have the hose replaced? How much is the damage?

Kung may kunting rust ka na nakikita, malamang madumi na radiator mo.

Mura lang yan, parang less than P400 lang per piece (1 top hose and 1 down hose). Picturan mo lang t make sure alam mo laki ng hose at puwede ka na punta sa mga autoshop. Buy thos with ply para matibay. Better yet, OEM. Mura lang naman yan kahit OEM eh. Sure ka pa sa quality.

kung di ka naman DIY guy buy ka na lang ng new rad hoses upper, lower at bypass hose saka pa gawa sa talyer or better sa suking radiator repair shop pasabay mo na ring pa overhaul yung radiator mo para malinis at palit ng fresh coolant and distilled water......... pwede mo na ring pa check sa kanila kung saan may leak

Hi sir, what should I do to get the rust out of my radiator? Is it one of the reasons kung bakit nagbabawas ng tubig from the reservoir?
