harlow everybody..change radiator today...they charge me rm293 for a recond saga radiator plus workmanship plus toyota long life coolant..do u think the price charged is okay? the radiator look so cheapskate, not sure can tahan for even 1 year or not..

Wat's the brand of the radiator?
Single layer aluminium radiator?
N y do the mechanic use toyota long life coolant?

you so outdated.....even mine use toyota coolant becoz it can last longer than odinary green coolant becoz toyota coolant cannot make steel rust becoz it oil based......

Boss, long time didn't drop by here.... MIA??? hahahaaa....

Anyway regarding ur question, since u already change the radiator... u could use these guidlines for further references. U can opt either:

27mm aluminum radiator (RM190 new)
or
47mm aluminum radiator from Jasma (RM290 new)

Wats the differences??? Both are made from aluminum and effective in dissipating heat compare with copper material. Copper is much more effective is drawing the heat from the engine and coolant but slightly poor in heat dissipating comparing with aluminum. As for the thickness, thicker radiator holds more water. The more water it holds, u need a better/stronger radiator fan to fully utilize the radiator. And ofcuz ur thermostat muz be in good working order or else u gonna have problem with the temperature like cold start problem and operating temp problem.

I've been using Toyota Coolant mixed with R.O water on my 27mm double layer radiator for nearly 2years and sold off the radiator (upgraded to the 47mm rad) to a fren using the same coolant mixture. So far no problem with it. IMHO, it keeps the water from rust formation and it does not harm the radiator so far lah.

Here is sum example of the radiators I've mention about.


47mm single row aluminum.


27mm single row V.S 47mm single row aluminum.


No doubt it is 47mm in thickness but its still consider a single row.


35mm double row aluminum rad from Honda EG, EK. Can mod into SagaIswara chassis.


35mm double row aluminum.

So, 27mm single V.S 35mm double V.S 47mm single????

Hi,

Want to ask sifu here. How easy is it to access the Iswara LMST air con blower and the cooling coil? I am thinking of doing DIY cleaning. Thanks.

Regards.

Well.... usually if its been recondition, most probably the rad has been re-spray which is not good. And I m afraid the rad might been punctured and patch up edi. So it depends on ur luck lor.... juz hope it won't kantoi in the near future

buy carb cleaner , remove the air filter ask a fren to press the throttle and use ur finger to push the piston and tembak only lo
idle low in morning , auto choke habis d

what is this stupid fuse for ????
just below the battery under the wiring ????
haiz proton engineering
that day korek around saw it
the casing break d
lucky i saw first if not later fire

Attached thumbnail(s)

thickness that matters... not how many layers...

i dont think that fuse is from proton... more like from outside accessory shop... proton already has its fuse box... why had an external fuse elsewhere??..

ur head lamp fuse? custom 1...
check where it route to...

it go back to the wiring casing thats why weird

to diy Air-cond cleaning is hard than you can imagine........you need enuff tools to open the casing that hold cooling coil.....you need dismantle all the way that block screw........engine bay air-cond gas pipe.......
