Troy437 SG My radiator system is losing water very quickly and I can't find any leak. The temperature will shoot up way high shortyl after I drive off. Have to top up water into the coolant reservoir everyday!! I parked on a dry ground and I can't find the leakage at all. Do you think its a leak or water pump faulty? I am going to get my new car in 2 weeks time. My car is due for scrap when I get my new car. If I go fix, will it be bo hua? but dun fix this two weeks I drive I dam scare the engine overheat on the road.
kenn3th SG lol, then dont drive it at all lor, go rent a car or take public transport then once ur car comes, drive it for it’s last journey.
nOrmalbOi SG go find out the price of maybe finding and patching the leak.. temp solution can le.. then decide if u wanna go ahead with it anot lor… either that or really go public till 2 weeks later lor
AE86tofu SG what i’d reccomend is that u conduct a coolant system presure test to see if there are leaks….if not..flush the system…(not just drain the whole engine block of coolant) run the water thru all the water jackets in the engine,hoses and radiatorsfor abt 5 mins…then fill her up with coolant….and see if it works…if it still dosent work check to see if u’ve blown a head gasket or have a cracked head…if yr head is cracked or warped u’ll usually see engine oil mixed together with yr coolant
tofushop193 SG tell u wat…if not leakage right…jus carry on driving…but take note of the temp if shoot too high…find a place rest the car for a while then continue journey…or jus take public transport lor…no choice anyway its only two weeks
sunny6110 SG can't drive... short dist will oso kena... 2 wks... dunno leh... scrap yard can find la... 2nd hand one...
spec SG If u see no visible leaks, means no leaks. Check your radiator fan. Chances are it is not working.
spec SG If he has to top up water, chances are it is not a blown head gasket or a cracked head. Else he would also have complained about blue smoke from the exhaust. Basic test is to check the fan first as it is usually the one to fail because there aint visible water leaks.
AE86tofu SG agreed...that is also one of the factors...if that one fail is either the fan is spoilt or the coolant map sensor spoil....
kentheman SG u do it for him lo...haha..very honoured leh to have ur car serviced by a PML technician..
skeujin SG 2weeks left jus go n buy those radiator sealant solutions n pour into yr radiator n run as per normal. shd last bout 2 weeks…
