Radiator also need servicing. nod.gif

I serviced my ol eg ferio radiator as I was going for a long journey drive last time. Replaced the top plastic cover as it was leaking as the plastic cover harden and cracked. When they push water into the radiator, a lot of holes clogged.

After cleaning, I also replaced the radiator coolant. Only then I confident to drive for 3 days journey.

hi everybody,this is my first time with this thread. finally found it after a lil searching.i want to ask some question regarding to ours wira radiator or cooler.

wira got how many fan for cooling and temperature control?because my wira now having this kind of issue.temperature going up very fast in this few day even i already check the water and motor oil.both water and oil still in full and ok.from this i got two condition.if im off my aircond,the temperature going up and cannot control but if im open my aircond.this high temp can be control or maintain at level even already at high temp(means stop going up if on).so sifu here.my actually prob with my wira?is there another fan for engine that separate with aircond fan??or maybe my termostat already broke?plase2 need guild before im sending my car to workshop/
*
As mention it got 2 fan. One is for the aircond, and one is for the radiator. Engine temperature going up means something a miss with the cooling system at the radiator.

1. Check up the radiator and see any rusty (yellowish liquid). Make sure the engine is not hot when you open up the radiator cover.

2. If the radiator liquid still greenish then it means your radiator is till clean. If got yellowish substance means that you need to flush out the radiator and get it cleaned.

3. Open up the hood, switch on the engine. See if the radiator fan spinning or not. It will start to spin when the temp reached half of the temp gauge.

4. If not spinning means that maybe wiring or relay problem. Try to connect the fan directly to see the fan working or not. If the fan is still working when connecting directly, Then it might be the relay problem.

5. Your termostat is still in good condition if it can show temp (the needle in the gauge going up or down).

6. You can always add extra cooling fan infront of the radiator. Which cost around rm 150.

Guys, how much does it normally cost to change power steering fluid?and is it necessary?the mehanic is asking me to change since its already black and got debris..charging rm150..

So many things to change pokai already..regular service + spark plugs + brake fluid + steering fluid + tayar gonna botak T_T
*
flushing power steering fluid will cost you for the price of a large bottle power steering fluid. they will drain the old oil. Flush it with a new oil, then refill it. Also include labour charges.

QUOTE(ohmlawx @ May 16 2011, 11:18 AM)
hai,

any of u guys know how to diy flush the radiator liquids? where are the flushing point?
*
at the bottom of the radiator tank there is a nut to drain the liquid. You may have to use a high pressure running water to flush out the old coolant and rust. However not sure whether it will clean up clogged water ways/paths.

Better send for service, as they will clean it throughly and make sure no clogged paths.

B4 going for service, better ask how much it will cost you. It it too much, you might consider to save and change the radiator with alluminium double layer radiator which cost around 300. laugh.gif

nicely done.... neat thumbup.gif


Added on July 12, 2011, 8:03 pmoh ya... wanna ask.... I met with an accident(not sure) this evening...

I parked my car at a parking space.... Then while I was away... A car (saga) hit a motocycle parking beside my car, and it fell... leaving dent and scratch on my car. The shop owner managed to write down the car plate number, and the car driver did left a contact number (his friend).

So whose insurance should I claim if the the driver refuse to settle with me with in 24 hours. Can claim the Saga (insurance)?

Very hard to claim, unless the shop owner (witness) is willing to be your witness, report police, interview with claims adjuster, etc. Later if found out the other car is fake license plate, or no insurance (lapsed), etc. quite common. All time and effort wasted.

If claim from your own insurance, NCD gone. Somemore, insurance may have excess charge, i.e. initial RM400 of claims will not be paid. e.g. if claim RM1000 insurance only pay RM600 (1k-400). If claim RM350 (350-400=-50), then no pay at all.

Consider it bad luck and fix ownself.


Added on July 13, 2011, 11:16 amAdd-on: Also, the case is tricky as Car hit motorcycle, motor fell and hit your car.

Which means it is tricky that you need to claim from the motorcycle insurance, since the car did not hit you directly. The motor, if damaged, may claim from the car that hit it.  rclxub.gif

Is like emergency stop, Car A hit Car B, Car B hit Car C.
Car C claims Car B insurance.
Car B claims Car A insurance.

Tires problems done. Just change the rest 3 tires only RM170 each including the tubeless plug.
Cheaper than yesterday one that cost me RM190.

About the Alarm problems, already fix it. Not fix actually, the rear trunk door switch is problem, just shut it off. then the problems gone.

HUhuhuhu..


Added on July 16, 2011, 11:57 amOne more thing, just change the lock motor for rear-right door. Cost me RM20.
That's it for today.

Looks like, my front Absorber is dead already, only front.
Which absorber do you guys recommend?
Any price range for current?
The technician offer me RM330 for the rear only, but I forgot to ask what brand.

Maybe next month I'll change it, rite know out of cash.

just avoid hitting ppl's car bumper.... laugh.gif

If road speed bump.... you might opt to lose some weight blush.gif
other than that, changing stiffer spring.. or if got money change the absorber to adjustable, and adjust the height higher....
other than that try zigzag thru the road bump... smile.gif

I have similar case with starter problem. Before this, the car was never used for about four months. Only turn on in the morning for couple minutes, that's it. After that, the alternator is broken and replaced it.

Now, if I forgot to turn off the AC or Radio when turning off the engine, later it will be hard to start. I have to wait in ACC mode for couple minutes then the engine can start.

I'm not sure what the problem till now, i suspect the battery need to be replaced also. But i just wait for next month. Out of budget already for this month.

Must drove it for a while to let the battery charged....
