I have this problem regarding my civic VTI 2002. After riding for atleast 5-6 hours. My temp gauge will rise after heavy acceleration and sometimes in idle. I've noticed that everytime the car will run even atleast 20kph, no temperature rising encountered, even in high speed (120-140 kph) and traffic. High temp will only encountered when after riding for 5-6 hours. What should be the problem. Ihave my radiator overholed. I also removed my thermostat and replaced my thermoswitch. i also noticed bubbles in my radiator and in a long drive. my reservoir is full. no tagas of water naman so far. please help
*peztie: Im not sure if the previous overheating causes the bubbles came from my radiator. But Im sure its not HG. the bubbles are just bubbles, no oil included. im not loosing any engine oil. I am thinking of the failure waterpump but i cant see any water leek. Thanks for your reply.
Put your thermostat back.. Kasi ang tendency is the temp of the water in your radiator is same as in your engine... kasi there's no thermostat stopping the water and cooling it in the radiator... If symptoms persist consult your trusted mechanic...
system leak..
defective fan...
air pocket sa system...
collapsing hose..
high pressure..
rusted thermostat..
corroded radiator/condenser..
engine misfire..
defective rad cap...
wrong coolant...
HG leak...
