Loosing Water on Radiator Reservoir.....

**master32** · September 15th, 2009 10:57 AM

Sirs,

Update lang po regarding sa radiator ko. I tested and observed my radiator kaninang umagah. Eto po yung mga ginawa ko at yung result:

1. Check ko yung radiator reservoir for leaks.
RESULT: wala naman talaga butas or anything.

2. Check ko yung mga hoses. Binuksan ko yung radiator cap then i press the hoses sa taas at ilalim.
RESULT: wala naman tagas and nag rerespond naman yung tubig sa radiator pag piniga ko yung hose.

3. Start ko yung engine without the radiator cap then ni revoultion ko for several minutes.
RESULT: wala naman bubbles na lumalabas dun sa radiator. Yung radiator fan, napa check ko na toh last week and automatic naman cia nag ON pag it reaches certain temp. Di lang nag ON kanina kasi di naman ganun katagal ang pag test ko pero it's finctioning well naman. Water pump, kakapalit ko lang 2 weeks ago so ok yun.

However, may napansin ako sa radiator ko, dun sa bandang baba nung sa radiator cap, pansin ko may tubig na lumalabas (kaunti lang). At first, pinunasan ko and try to check if baka may natapon lang nung bunuksa ko. So medyo tuyo na ciah, then when I rev. the engine, may lumabas nanaman na unting tubig. Then sa part na rin na yun, may MOLD (namumuo). So I suspect dun yung may leak kasi dun may MOLD eh. Tama po kaya ako?

Ngayon po, I will be going into a radiator shop, can you advise mga sir on the following:

1. What should I do po?
2. Repairable pa po ba yun? Pede bah cia tapalan or anything else for remedy?
3. In case po na magpapalit, magkano po kaya yung brand new na radiator? May nabasa ako, maganda raw sa HONDA yun EVERCOOL na brand, magkano po kaya ito at magkano aabutin yung labor?

Feel free po to post.....any suggestion will surely help...Medyo bantay lang muna ako sa radiator ko kasi antay pa ako ng budget.

kung may tagas sa top ng radiator, pwede palitan ng tanso yan. sa evangelista or sa banawe marami ka mahahanap. pero pangit tignan ito pagtapos. kung remedyo muna at hintay budget, ill recommend na yung bulldog radiator seal. it worked for my friend and lasted about 3 months then tapal ulit.

sir archie, ikaw nanaman....hehehe...salamat sa advise. Magkano kaya yung bulldog radiator seal??? Pede po kaya yung epoxy steel??? yung radiator ko kasi hindi na plastic yung ibabaw, yung leak eh parang singaw lang naman po siya.....kung gagamitan ko siya ng sealant, pano po the best way ng paggamit nito? first time ko kasi gagawin toh, try ko lang kung yung nga ang problem......any advise po sa sealant na pede gamitin aside from Bulldog radiator sealant?

ganto kasi yung gawa namin ng barkada ko...

1. pamalamig na makina
2. mix ng epoxy
3. sandpaper yung area na tatapalan
4. apply sealant
5. mga 6 hours patuyoin para sure na hindi kakalas

pwede mo gamitin yung steel epoxy. yung radiator epoxy kasi para sa plastic. kung bakal na yung tatapalan, mas ok yan. yung steel epoxy alam ko sobrang tibay niyan. kahit engine block ata kinakaya niyan eh. hehe

mura lang ito... mga 150 lang ata. subukan niyo kung mawala yung pagbabawas ng tubig, then you found your culprit.

sir my advise try niyo muna ung bulldog sealant for temporary use. pero pag bumigay ulit i would suggest replace nalang kayo ng radiator assy. kasi hindi din advisable mgpa overhaul ng radiator kasi hindi din siya tumatagal kahit na overhaul na. bka in the end mapamahal pa kau lalo. kasi medyo mahal din mgpa overhaul.

sir honda city brand new evercool radiator m/t 5,700 net 2 rows brand new.a/t 7,800 net 2 rows with oil cooler brand new. meron po yan warranty kaya no worries dealers price po yan. ung labor i think around 200 pesos lng yan.

Try checking the water pump. There is a hole underneath the water pump, usually water drips from it if there is a prob with it during start up. You won't see it when the engine isn't running or when the engine has been on for a long time once the water pressure in the engine is up already and the engine is already hot so it just evaporates instead of dripping down.

sir,

sa mga auto supply bah nabibili toh? sabihin ko lang steel expoxy? try ko cguro this weekend....update ko kayo nextweek....hopefully maayos. May nagsabi naman sakin pede daw palitan yung top cover....dun kasi yung leak sa gilid, underneath nung radiator cap. anyway, abangan nio bukas sir, picturan ko para sakto yung mga assumptions na pede nio ibigay...post ko po bukas ng umagah...or mamyang gabi..

**[archie]** · September 15th, 2009 04:02 PM

ay sorry hindi pala bulldog yung brand... gladiator radiator epoxy. hehe

yung ibang auto supply shop meron nito. sa sucat kasi kamit nakabili dati. oo sabihin mo na lang steel epoxy malamang alam na nila yun.

pwede palitan yung top ng radiator, as ive said sa earlier post ko, gagawing tanso yung ibabaw niyan pero pangit lang talaga tignan. hehe

sige picturan mo na lang muna... pero kahit hindi ko nakikita parang alam ko na yung sinasabi mo. ang kaba ko lang kung yung crack abot dun sa radiator cap mismo kasi kung ganon mahirap epoxy yan. mas ok na palitan na lang.
