water reserve, napupuno

[mister_big_bird]

Guys, baka na encounter nyo na to, o alam nyo solution sa problem ko, patulong namn. Yung water level sa reserve ko dumadami pag nanakbo nako, lalo na mainit ang panahon, to the point na malapit na mapuno sya. tapos bumabalik din ng dahan dahan sa radiator pag nakahinto na ko (engine stop) at nakapahinga na yung kotse.

syanga pala. kapapalit ko lang ng radiator cap, thermostat at thermoswitch. ok namn ikot ng radiator fan. ang nasa isip ko nalng is water pump o cylinder head gasket which both need major repairworks.

As for the waterpump, nararamdaman ko namna ang daloy ng water, kasi both hoses going in and out of the radiator ay mainit.

As for the Cylinder head gasket namn, jsut recently conduct a compresion test, kila speedyfix (thanks) ok namn daw, kasi parepareho namn compression. Also ala namn white smoke at ala din langis sa tubig. ala din ako makita any sign of dripping.


Plagay nyo ? ako dina mapalagay eh.

thnaks.

Sounds like a sign of water pump change will soon happen. Based from experience, ganyan ang naging symptom nung 4-AFE namin dati. Try to open the radiator cap when the engine is cold and no pressure. Start the engine and let it idle with the radiator cap off. Water should be flowing thru the radiator hole. Kung mahina ang flow ng tubig, let it idle more until thermostat opens to let the water flow into your engine. Start revving and watch if water flow increases. Ingat lang sa pag silip baka bumuwak bigla ang tubig sa mukha. Revving it slowly until rpm reaches 3,000. Pag bumubulwak ang tubig palabas instead of flowing continously inside, your pump may be showing signs of nearing its end of service.

Kung sa gasket yan, may makikita ka dapat na leak from any side of your cylinder head. Next symptom nyan, water leaking under the water pump. If changing the pump will have to be place on hold, better driving it with radiator cap off to lessen the pressure build up inside.

Sir UNgas,

thanks sa info. if radiator cap is off, mauubos tubig ko sa radiator diba ? kasi tatapon lang ?

[Ungas]

Nope, mababawasan pero di mauubos ito, unless you will drive the vehicle offroad or on rough corrugated roads. Kung city driving lang naman, iikot lang ang tubig with lesser pressure. Constant refilling at any gas station will help when water drops below level.

thanks, ulit sir ungas. dumami sana katulad mo

[Ungas]

Dadami ang ungas? Wag na po, tama na ang isa sa tsikot, hehehe. :bwahaha: (joke!)

[mikaztro]

Ungas is right, it might be the water pump. Try to see if there is a weep in the waterpump. usually, its a sign of breakdown. The other concern is the Cylinder head. It might need to be checked(pressure, compression and crack test) and need of machine shop or some gasket replacement. Try to overhaul your radiator or try to flush it with water and remove the water drain plug for the water to go out. Also check your aux fan and clucth fan as it is also one of the reasons a car overheats while idle. I hope this helps.

Thats normal di ba, water expands when warmed up, will go to the coolant reservoir. Then will go back to the radiator when temp goes down.

You may have a problem kapag umaapaw at tumatapon ang coolant sa reservoir, pero sa kuwento mo ay dumadami lang.

oopppssdi ko nabasa " to the point na malapit na mapuno". Palagay ko diyan ay clogged radiator.

thanks guys sa mga suggestion, i forgot to mention, napa radiator overhaul ko na nga din pala sya, but that didn't solve the problem either, which lead me to suspect the water pump or cylinder head gasket, unless you guys know other parts i should be checking besides the one na napalitan at nagawa ko na.

thanks ulit
