Losing water from radiator

[catseye27]

Mga sir anu po ba possible cause kung bakit mabilis maubos tubig ng radiator?

Honda Vtec 96 model.


1.Ok naman yung takip ng radiator
2.Wala naman akong nakitang leak sa radiator.
3.Kumukulo yung tubig sa water tank reserve.(parang may pressure yung host papunta sa water tank reserve)

Thnx

Malaking possibility na cylinder head gasket or cylinder head itself

[catseye27]

Any idea how much the repair cost?

1. cylinder head gasket+labor
2. cylinder head+cylinder head gasket+labor

thnx

Does your ride have a history of overheating? Or did it experienced overheat? If yes then that's the result (loosing water at the radiator tank). I agree with 4gj, check your cylinder head.

i have a somewhat similar problem though not as bad...yet. i know there's a leak somwhere in my cooling system because every week i have to refill my reservoir w/o hitch, but the thing is i can't pin it down where exactly is the leak. wala naman siyang history ng overheating at kaka-over haul ko lang sa rad niya just before xmas of last year.

btw, i also have the same ride w/ the TS

Hindi pa ko ng overheat. nasa middle naman lagi yung temp. gauge.

After you used/park your vehicle.
Check the upper part of the Radiator.
If you use Water.
Mabasa basa sa gilid nya together with the pins.
May Leak sya somewhere.

If you use Coolant Mix.
Sa gilid nya basa-basa with blueish color
Together with the pins din.
May Leak sya somewhere.

Usually Dry na dry ang upper part of Radiator.

Kung Dry naman Upper Part
1. Check Lower Part of Radiator
2. Check Hoses
3. Clips Around the Hoses

Chief, several things to check:

1. Thermostat - make sure it operates properly; it opens the valve when operating temp is already reached or exceeded.
2. Radiator fan switch - Make sure it turns-on the radiator fan to meet the opearting temp.
3. Radiator fan - make sure it blows or sucks the air that passes the radiator properly. Sometimes worn-out carbon brush and poor lubrication decreases the fan's performance.
4. Radiator - Rusty and clogged-up radiator fins decreases its performance, resulting to poor cooling system.
5. Fittings / plugs - leaking or loose cap, rubber hose and other fittings will cause abnornal rise in temp, water loss and poor coolant circulation.
6. Water pump - defective or worn-out water pump results in poor cooling system.
7. Others causes as specified by our guru's above.

Hope these things can help. Thanks!

To confirm kung yung high pressure comes from cylinder compression or high temperature. Observe the over flow hose after a cold start in the morning. Kung malakas na agad ang pressure while malamig pa ang engine then its probable na gasket or heads problem.

I think cylinder head/gasket nga ang problema.Any idea how much the repair cost?

thnx

Had same problem on our starex. Sinusuka nya yung tubig, nag ooverheat. cylinder head gasket nga prob. less than 10k, kasi may mga iba pang nakita na papalitan.

Share ko lang Just to give you an idea. 3.5K Machine shop works + 3K top overhaul labor. Check this thread for more details.

Got it fix now.thnx po mga sir,cylinder head po may problema. almost 15k ang nagastos ko,pinapalitan ko na mga belt.thnx po again.

[s_quilicot]

i have the same problem right now.

newly replaced naman radiator ko.

[Horsepower]

baka butas ang hose

guys, bago palit na radiator cap ko, pero ganun parin. kahit malamig ang engine kaka on lang, kumukulo agad yung sa reservoir.

ano prob? yung lip ng radiator?

[rapido]

sir catseye27, bale top overhaul po ginawa sa car nyo noh? san ka po nagpagawa, i have the same problem kc, nagtatapon ang radiator and tumatatas ang temp sa high speed. top overhaul ang recommended ng casa, pero 25k minumum daw. ask ko po sana kung saan kayu nagpagawa at top overhaul po ba ginawa.

Mga bossing, may ma susugest pobakayu shop na magaling magtop overhaul at a lesser price kesa sa casa

Buy your own parts and find a competent shop to do the work.

madali naman po malaman kung cylinder head at high pressure ang cooling system. first, while engine is cool open the radiator cap then start the engine pag bumulwak ang tubig palabas yun na yun lalo na pag malakas ang pagsabog ng tubig. puede rin pag nakalagay ang radiator cap observe nyo lang kung namamaga(bulging) at sobrang tigas ng hose connected to radiator at engine.
