Cars in a way are diverse and more complicated compared to humans. Humans and humanoids only come in male, female, gay, lesbian, trans***uals and bi***uals. Cars come in gasoline, diesel, hybrid, hydrogen and electric powered. Piston engine or rotary engine, front wheel drive, rear wheel drive, all wheel drive or part time four wheel drive. Front, mid or rear engine, manual, auto or CVT, a whole array of anatomy and layout. With humans you know where the brain is, where the heart is etc. etc.etc.

humans come in one basic design, and with only four variants.. adult male, adult female, child male, and child female.
the rest are... political variations.
and after hundreds of years of scientific study, there has been no change in model design. not even a little bit!
and yet we still get things wrong!
heh heh.

Quick fix for overheating old engines
Change radiator
Change radiator hose
Change thermostat
Change coolant temp sensor

Done this to 3 cars. All running perfect ever since. Diy lang, watch YouTube.

Been experiencing high temperature or almost overheating of engine and the water in radiator gets emptied fast if I use my car in the morning and especially if its very traffic and hot weather. But when I use it at night I dont seem to have these problems at all. Can anyone explain this issue and help me out on what to do?

Let a trusted mechanic check the radiator and the air-conditioning system. There must be a leak. Are you sure, you check the water level? Don't rev the car too much when you start in the morning. Our hot weather is already convincing for the car to be warmed-up enough like 10 seconds. Takbo na pero syempre not that fast nmn. Ingat. Hassle yan pag tumirik so wag mo ng patagalin pre.

where does one get such pressurizer gadget?

pwede ka gumawa ng mas murang version doc. hindi naman araw araw na ginagamit kaya impractical sa diyer yung mga prof kit. andami sa youtube. tignan mo ke schrodinger's box o kay ratchetsandwrenches. pero kung gusto mo talaga yung mamahalin na kit e may kakilala ako tiga pasay (hindi sa likod ha)....

ang kelangan e either tire valve or quick coupling, radiator cap, air compressor o kahit yung manual hand pump. atsaka pressure gage para imonitor yung applied pressure sa radiator.

if in doubt ako sa radiator cap e agad ko na lang na pinapalitan. no need to test na imo bukod sa manual testing (by hand) nung springs. mura lang naman.

If you don't have access to a pressure tester, use a bright light color dye and add it inside the radiator. When it should leak, it will leave a trace

Ndiscover ng mechanic ko na yun mouth o bibig ng radiator ay deformed kay kailangan ipa-repair. Either palitan ng panibagong bibig or iayos. Nagkakaroon kc ng space sa loob kya nakakalabas ng water from the radiator. Hndi lumalapat yun cover. Dapat lapat un.

napapalitan nga po yang filler neck na yan. tanong nyo sa radiatorman.

same problem din po, when i was on my way going up to baguio every week pag lampas sa may lions head, nag uumpisang tumaas temp ng engine ko to more than one half ng gauge. bago naman ang thermo stat, radiator ok din, ok naman fan nya, pati head gasket. sa may paakyat lang talaga nangyayari to. pero sa patag ok lang. ive been using 5 cars pero ngayon lang to nangyayari sakin. kung mag 2 row radiator kaya ako will it solve may problem?

the last time i had this problem (in my non-toyota ride), the problem turned out to be clogged radiator. the problem disappeared when i had the radiator overhauled.
