check mo lang sir na hindi kumukulo yung nasa reservoir at hindi rin nagbabawas tubig sa radiator, kung overfilled yung reservoir normal lang na magbawas

lagi ka bang nag top-up ng tubig?..if that's the case then it's not normal....check for leaks...

[carlo_lsy]

sir, top up po lagi, under observation po ksi yung oto ko, before po ksi nag overheat yung oto ko, sbi po nila Blown head gasket, pero pina linis ko po muna yung radiator, nkita nung nag lilinis na barado na yung mga butas. so ngayon po obserb pa ako kung mag oover heat na naman. ang napapasin ko lang po mga 9kms lang po na takbo nababawasan na yung sa reservoir. kaya may question is; is it normal or not?

thanks in advanced

it is not normal the water on th reservoir becomes empty, for my experience pls check all your hose's, aircon fan, auxiliary fan if they are working and you mentioned that your radiator has been already overhauled /cleaned. If all are ok on what i mentioned and still your reservoir and radiator loses water my advice to replace your cylinder head gasket. To avoid other engines parts to be worn-out... gudlock

check first if there is no problem with radiator cap, usually its the cap that no sealed well and evaporates all water of reservoir

^ good suggestion ... radiator cap leaks are not so obvious and can only be seen/heard under close observation when the engine is hot ... and this could be the reason more and more recent model cars don't have it anymore

nde ba dapat coolant reservoir?...

kung tubig lang at walang coolant diba water evaporates fast tapos bka may leak... try adding some coolant

i had this problem just weeks back (in fact, i posted it in here also). just bought a new radiator cap this week lang and based on my observation, hindi na nauubos yung laman ng reservoir ko.

try mo muna palitan yung radiator cap mo, and observe, if it is still the same, there may be underlying causes.

muna lang naman radiator cap.

to answer your question, it's not normal.
