MB100, Ssangyong/Daewoo Istana [continued]

The valve cover gasket is just the superficial gasket that runs around the top of the valve cover. Here it is, newly replaced (with white seal) on my unit:

Sa aircon, normal po na unang masira ang #1 because it is the one with the highest resistance. The resistor is working hard to lower the speed. When you run the fan at high speed, the resistor just lets all the current pass through. Repairable po iyan sa aircon shop.

If front a/c is colder than rear a/c, the expansion valve might need replacement at the next a/c cleaning session.[/QUOTE]

Thanx po Doc Otep sa reply... Magkano po gastos nyo sa pagpapaplit po ng valve cover gasket kasi iyong van po namin may leak po ng oil sa may parang half moon po nya.. Saan po kaya maganda magpaayos ng a.c. Magkano po kaya aabutin repair ng resistor block, expansion valve, at pati nrin po cleaning saan po kaya maayos magpagawa Sampaloc, Manila po ako saan po mejo maka tipid po ng konti kasi mejo kulng po kasi budget natin eh.. Pahabol po maingay narin po fan ng Rad. Yun po ba ang (clutch fan) may trrrrrrrrraaaaaaakkkkkk sound po sya para mas malakas pa po tunog nya kesa andar ng makina... Thanx po uli.... Pa-share naman po ng mga idea nyo mga sir para po marestore sa dati van namin sensya na po bago lng po kasi sa amin ito...ty

nagbabawas po pero dahil lumalabas sa spout sa sobrang init na ata. Di ko na maalala kung anu ung stock eh kasi napalitan na rin ung last. .9 lng ung luma. Pag barado po ba, ok lang ba yung overhaul ng rad? or mas maganda kung bumili ng bago?

Mas advisable na bago nalang. Hindi naman yata sobrang mahal. Napost ni doc otep dito dati na nagpalit siya. Few pages back palang yun

Nasa 5k ang srp ng new rad nowadays, mas mura daw sa tindahan ng evercool sa Benitez? That's in Chinatown, right?

Low speed/climbing overheat is a circulation problem. Baka po water pump or radiator na barado.

Clutch fan meron sa banawe nun. But if you buy the new fan, you have to buy the new fan blade also. Sa apic banawe po expert sila sa mb100, dun nagpapagawa yung mga namamasada at school bus. Sa Dr. G's car clinic po ako nagpapagawa kasi sila gumagawa ng Toyota ko. Pero hindi sila mb experts.

Yung switch ata ng aircon si e.d.s. car aircon nakagawa. Yung recommended shop ni sir glenn manikis. Ok dun.

Thank you po sa advice ninyo. Taga davao po ako eh. Try ko mag canvass muna dito kung magkano.

Mas ok po ba ung evercool? Anu po magandang brand ng clutch fan? Kung pa rad overhaul ko muna, pangit parin ba ang kalalabasan? Feel ko bumara ang radiator dahil nag lagay ng stop leak ung lumang driver namin eh after flush ng radiator. Parang bleed lng ng hangin un kaya nagbawas. thanks ulit

They say Evercool is ok. But I used Three Star brand from Korea which was what we could find in Banawe. Evercool was being sold at Php10k in Banawe so I passed. Three Star didn't have the thicker radiator that the MB100 uses locally, all they had was the standard thickness radiator. But Three Star is a reputable company so I got it anyway.

Clutch fan of the MB100 is now a viscous fluid type manufactured by GMB. The old bearing type clutch fan was made by BEHR. If you change clutch fan, you need to change the fan blades as the BEHR used a different hub from the GMB.

Yes, stop leak will kill your radiator. After my new radiator, no more overheat problems running at top speed with lights and sirens.

Old radiator. Notice how much thicker it is. All local (CMC) units used this kind of radiator:

Updated fan clutch by GMB. It came in the OEM Ssangyong packaging:
