Losing water on my paj

[pajero gmbh]

Na overhaul na radiator ko tapos na replace thermostat tapos na top overhaul na din palit ng cylinder head gasket. pero still nagbbawas pa din ng water pero onti onti na lang. nagtataka ako kc dapat mauubos muna sa reservoir bago ra radiator. pero everytime na bbuksan ko rad cap ko bawas na ang tubig. Ive been tracing water leaks pero wala talaga makita. nag pa pressure test na din ako pero walang lumulabas na tubig.

May mali kaya sa pag palit ng gaskets?

Help naman pls.

When they overhaul your engine and change your radiator, they left some area inside with air pocket, its just probably getting filled up. The best way to get, this is to run your vehicle in an incline area with radiator cap remove, continously refill your radiator until it doesn't go down anymore. After another day of driving, check and refill if needed. Hope this help

thanks pero parang ang tagal nang ganun almost mag 1 month na. pagmalamig naman napapansin ko wala naman leaks kc kahit cold ang engine pag bukas ko ng cap may hagin pang pressure na llabas knti parang bottle of coke.

[pajero gmbh]

up lang. help pls.

Question paj gmbh: nag-ooverheat ba paj mo?? When you open the radiator, walang tubig ba? Also, di naman ba nag-ooverflow yung reservoir? Always add water to the reservoir and keep it between low and full. Observe mo uli.

[pajero gmbh]

sir estee, hindi po sya nagooverheat. nababawasan sya ng tubig sa radiator mismo. kc araw araw ko sya check tapos bawas na knte. then minsan hinayaan ko d lagyan ng mga 2weeks. pagtingin ko ulit malaki na bawas sa rad pero hindi naubos ung 2big sa reservoir.

[pajero gmbh]

nga pala sir hindi po nag ooverflow ung reservoir ko. pwede kaya sa water pump? pero wala talaga akong makitang water na lumalabas dun eh even pinapandar ko engine. o pag high revs lumalabas sa water pump?

[Olonam]

nagpa-compression test and a parameter test ka na? aside from changing the gasket, nagalaw ba ang cylinder head mo? baka may warp, at doon nagpupunta ang tubig, then evaporates.

[pajero gmbh]

yup na pa machine shop na yung cylinder head maraming napalitan eh.

[Gen1]

check mo rin radiator cap mo baka sira na or baka local lang. hindi kamo nababawasan ang reservoir mo. pero baka naman due for replacement na talaga water pump mo.

[pajero gmbh]

mga sir, pano po ba macheck kung ok pa ang water pump?

[wun888]

Mga sirs, similar problem with mine. un sa akin naman nababawasan un reservior ko once i travel long distance or encounter heavy traffic. Hindi naman dati ganito. this problem occurred last week of sept. 2005 when i drained the radiator and replaced with new coolant. the ratio of coolant is 1L is to 1.5L of distilled water. Now and then ganito na ang problem and no leaks naman. Maybe guys you can help us on this. Thanks.

sir paj gmbh,
assuming the what you have done already is correct, i suggest these sir. you may have overlooked at this....
1. check the radiator cap. baka sira na gasket kaya nauubos ang water sa radiator, not sa reserve.
2. check all the bypass hoses, hose plugs, hose going to the reserve tank. baka may maluwag na clamp lang or may pinhole na butas sa mga hose.
3. check the upper and lower radiator hose especially sa clamp side baka iyun naman ang may problem.

kapag cold start ok naman ang engine? di nanginginig, knocking sound, at walang white smoke? kung meron, there is something wrong with the cylinder head. one way of testing this is to remove the heater plugs, crank the engine and see where the water comes out para ma pinpoint mo kung which cylinder may problem...

hope this helps....

[pajero gmbh]

thankyou sir, ill try to check all of that will give you the feedback after the test. BTW sir, what kung ippatest ko sa mga talyer yung cylinder head what should they do? hydro test or compression test?? im already done wid pressure test sa rad.

[afrasay]

replace your radiator cap.

[voltes_V]

Baka kailangan mo rin palitan ang reservoir mo. Kung hindi siya air tight walang negative pressure to push water to the radiator.

[pajero gmbh]

based on my observation. pagbagong takbo naddagdagan resoirvoir ko tapos pag cooldown na bawas na sya. tama yun diba? but everytime i open the radiator cap kulang sya sa 2big hindi puno. based on my test while engine is running i open the rad cap tapos every 10sec to 15 e may bula. hindi lumulobo na parang bubbles. parang blok!!! isang malaki lang. what might be the problem? but minimal lang ang bawas.

Run your vehicle in upward incline (mas-mataas yong harapan)until its warm to touch (make sure that your radiator cap is remove), and the same time gently squish the two rubber hose thats attach (be careful, rotating parts on the engine) to the radiator, and replinesh needed coolant until fully top-off. this should take no more 30 minutes. By the way, the higher the angle of incline, the better. Also, make sure that the bottom drain plug of the radiator is not leaking. Sometimes, mechanics tends to forget that rubber o-ring get brittle as it ages.

baka singaw ka sa valves etc...

share ko lang sa akin, early this year, had the same problem, hinanap ko at nakita ko na hose na may tagas kaya doon nag leak ng water, after i changed it, naku......water pump ko nag leak na din. try mo hanapin baka hose lang ng leak......
