Radiators

[Gian Paulo]

Update : Have my old radiator overhauled which took more than 2 hours. Surprised that even if filled with anti coolant and flushing rust builds up overnight. Labor cost * P950 ( Haggled to P800)

How old is the vehicle and how often do you change your coolant?

Had the same thing with our LC80 radiator before. That's why i make it a point to change coolant more often (at least every 40,000kms).

Mine is a 1st Gen Adventure and used to changed coolant every 2 years (average of 20k km per changed) Surprised i was advised by the technician to avoid using coolant and instead to use just distilled water and have a regular monthly flushing daw is enough.

mga bros ..
napansin ko lang sa radiator ng altis, bakit bukod sa reservoir, meron pa isang tube pabalik sa radiator hose?
may silbi ba ito? ang effect ba nya, tipong bago pa mag expel ng coolant papunta ng reservoir, eh papaikutin muna nya ulit sa system?

Your technician is good. He knows. I use distilled water too (Absolute or Wilkins), and I only flushed every 6 months ( vehicle use everyday), or for a year (if the vehicle is often use). I always look and check water in a radiator, and also other point to be check inside the engine bay before starting the engine.
