I found out that the radiator hoses (U shaped and S shaped), there are some signs of RED coolants leaking out, is it mean time to change?

I've just taken over my brother's Proton Saga 1.3, 1997 model.

Pretty much underpowered, heavy fuel consumption.

I think you are referring the four small hoses at the rear of
the engine, around the carburettor and auto choke.

They are called the U, S, V and carburettor hoses.

The U and S are about 12 mm, and the V and carburettor
hoses are about 8 mm.

If the coolant leaks are minor, you could try tightening their clips.
If the leaks persists and the hoses seem hard and cracked to
the touch, I think it's time to replace them.

You can buy all four at Universal Auto at Jalan Sungei Besi,
near the cross-junction with Jalan Pudu and just after the
fire engine department.

They cost around $20 + for a set.
If you are referring to the two big radiator hoses, they cost
around $12 each for this brand :

A more expensive brand, Fudex, marketed as OEM with
the Proton label, costs $18 each.

http://www.fudex.com.my/
Universal has both. They open till 4 pm on Sunday.
I've bought all six hoses and kept them in my trunk
as spares, just in case.

Thanks man, I tried to tighten up the clips, so far no more leaking, will change it soon.. blush.gif

Turn anticlockwise about 1 to 2 mm for a start. The timing
will probably drop between 3 to 6 degrees.

The sound may be old engine mountings, which sometimes
sound very much like knocking or pinging.

I have the same problem when accelerating uphill at times,
and initially thought it was overly advanced timing causing
knocking, but my brother, whom this Iswara belongs to,
told me it was the mountings.

Any pics to show how to do that? blush.gif

I am going to change all the radiator water hoses soon, how much does it costs for the whole set? And is it better if I get those performance hoses?

Today I realized my car's brake feels spongy, and need to brake quite hard before it will bite, hmm I only changed my front brake pads few months back, but rear brakes I haven't changed for years, do I need to change kah?

Thinking of getting those steel braided hoses, what brand is better and the price? unsure.gif

Am looking for this too, any idea how much it costs?

1st, like other member said, maybe the radiator blocked.
2nd, possible prob is ur radiator fan motor not 100% working.
3rd, check ur radiator switch, maybe it didnt work. (this happen to me b4, so i didnt use the switch & the motor is continuous working non stop - this might cause ur fan motor lifespan decrease)

the best solution, service ur cooling system inc radiator & the fan motor.

1. check ur brake pad again. if unproper install, it might cause unproper braking.
2. check/service ur brake pump & the brake oil.
3. check also the hoses.

about the air cond vent cover, the price start from rm20-50. u can get from accessory shop and spare parts shop.

How long do we need to service the brakes? I have it done before last year..

Hmm I think should be as I saw the mechanic remove all the wheels and use a container to take in all the brake fluids..

Hmm was wondering also whether I should change the brake hose too?
