Another rad prob

**Jigga** · November 20th, 2006 02:54 AM

Mga sir help naman.. Newbie lang ako sa cars e.. I bought a 2nd hand Series 3 95 EX Saloon last August. My question is laging nauubusan ng water ung reserve nia and rad tapos kelangan kong lagyan ng water everytime na aalis ako kasi nababawasan sia ng water din.

There are no leaks. I checked the hoses, ung rad cap pero walang leaks talaga.

When i got the car kasi sobrang baragbarag na ung rad nia, (ung dati owner nun car kasi is nde ma-alaga) so i got a surplus rad. ok naman ung surplus bago pa walang leaks (as in like brand new, stock din ng Nissan ung nakuha ko). pero nagbabawas pa din.

i was checking some threads about this sort of prob pero i got nowhere.

i checked ung oil. ok nman sia. nde milky. so that means nde overhead ung sira. Nde din sumisirit ung water when u start it.

how will i know if ung sira nia is ung water pump?

help please!!!

Alam ko kapag mabilis maubusan ng water ang radiator at yung reserve water pump na yun.Ganyan din ang suzuki fronte ko before at yung sa corolla ng neighbor namin.

I have the same car and the same problem...halos maubos na yung pera ko sa kaka-check kung ano talaga problema...had my rad overhauled twice (top and bottom overhaul), spent a lot on coolants and labor, but in the end, 2 lang talaga main cause ng leak nya: 1) small bypass hose (sumisirit yung tubig pag umaandar na), pero hindi halata pag idle; 2) leaking water pump (konti lang, hindi rin masyado obvious). Bumili lang ako ng new water pump, kasi maingay na rin yung bearing, kaya ayun, nakita na may maliit na tagas

If I were you, palitan mo na rin water pump, tutal matagal na rin car mo, and besides it only costs 800 (GMB brand), although 900 nga lang yung labor

pa pressure test mo sir cooling system to determine kung me leak ang system. my guess me diprensya na ang radiator cap mo hindi na cguro naglalapat kaya nag eescape ang steam kaya walang visible na leak. pag sira na waterpump definitely mag ooverheat ang car mo

Same problem with the Vitara now. Nauubos reserve pero puno ang radiator and hindi naman nag-ooverheat.

Recommendation ng Suzuki si overhaul/replace radiator and get a new radiator cap.

Kapag hindi pa daw naayos dun saka na lang mag-isip ng malalaki at mahal na piyesa.

Mga sirs,

I found the problem kung why nauubos ung water sa rad and reserve ko... There was a leak dun sa malapit sa water pump..

When i asked the mechanic na tignan ung water pump he said na walang prblem ung water pump and yung connection nun hoses ung may problema..

I don't know kung ano ung tawag dun pero sabi nia "bypass" ?!?!?

sia ung connection ng mga hoses galing dun sa water pump...

nwei.. sbrang rusted na talga sia.. kinakain na sia ng kalawang..

so i had it replaced. it cost 1450 ung part and 1000 for the labor...

so un.. ok na dehins na sia overheat. buti na lang.. hehehe

salamat sa lahat ng replies.. thanks!
