Noted. Few foreman said use distilled water is better that why I asked. I usually just run the tap water through until water become clear
during radiator service, then add coolant and refill as usual  tongue.gif

As further clarification, Bro, tap water (esp if not well-treated, might b of the "hard" water type) might contain compounds that wld b deposited in engine waterways in due course and cause clogging...
Suitable high Q coolant added to distilled/RO water (in correct recommended concentration) wld b the BEST bet! rclxms.gif thumbup.gif

Best wishes.... icon_rolleyes.gif

ps. Coolant has a fixed lifespan and shld b replaced accordingly. If not, it wld become corrosive.... whistling.gif

Main reason why most mechs/radiator repair ppl rec using juz tap water, knowing most Msian motorists do not replace the coolant according to schedule. Thus doing more harm by adding coolant (which is meant to do good!)

A safer alternative is to use the coolant used in lathes....white coolant used in those metal-cutting machines. More expensive tho... whistling.gif

As in everything else, yr choice...yr decision...alwaz... icon_rolleyes.gif

Hi Bro... notworthy.gif
In commercial enterprises, that's wat is called the "best compromise"... brows.gif

If one DIY own coolant replacement & has access 2best materials/resource, then wat me hv posted earlier wld b the best!

Sincere apologies...if stepped on any toes...not my intention... icon_rolleyes.gif

UPDATE:
IINM most car makers now use wat is termed as LLC or Long Life Coolant. These last longer than previously std coolants.
IINM Toyota & P2 hv their own such LLCs. Proton recs Weston LLC in User Manual. rclxms.gif

Based on my (noob) observation, air intake should be through the grille. The air passing through the front grille should be more than enough, so the rubber I put to minimize the dusts & rain water from going in at high speeds. sweat.gif

Btw, if stock considered as CAI, if got rubber blocking considered as CAI or HAI? hmm.gif

Tks a meg 4yr explanation, Bro! rclxms.gif thumbup.gif notworthy.gif

And yup, me agree...only plausible reason... tongue.gif

Now 2think abt getting those Big "D" & Small "D" seals... whistling.gif

ps. Re CAI or HAI? Mayb WAI? Cold + Hot = Warm! Haha! rclxm9.gif

#1. Does you guys' Campro vibrate a lot?  I tested friend's 2009 blm and another new saga FLX and steering vibrate a lot when park in D. Not sure if this is a nature of Campro engine but even my Campro CPS engine got the same vibration when gear park in D'  sweat.gif

#2. Any solution for airbag equipped steering as I don't plan to swap with momo?

Thank you.
