Yesterday night i drove out to PJ looking for dinner, when near arriving the foodstall parking suddenly there’s steam blow out from front car bornet , then I noticed my car dashboard engine hot lights just pop up
I immediately shut down the engine, but I didn’t open the car bornet coz worrying in the hot steam gauges out
So after my dinner I bought a bottle of distilled water and top up the radiator, the whole radiator and spare tank seems to be empty out
Then i started to inspect the leaks, found no sign of crack after filling up the radiator
Then i drove it back home while using obd to monitoring the temp, the temp showing around 83~86c @ 80km/h.
I managed to drove back to home on 30mins journey
This morning i open up the radiator cap and inspect the water level and water are still there.
Scratching my head and wondering what happen on last nights

Mind to take snapshots of your engine bay especially around the radiator, radiator top casing, bottom area of radiator and also coolant hoses?

It should be easy to locate the leak as dried coolant will leave traces of white stains around the leaking area.

Bro try to check your radiator cap

Is a brand new cap which replace months ago
Does spoiled cap play such big role on leaking out all coolant from radiator ?

Updates

yesterday noon drove out and back at night with around 100km at the mileage
coolant level at spare tank and radiator still the same level, no sign of losses.
for safe side will go over to VMag on this coming saturday and request them to perform leak test and replace the necessary parts

Update us later to see if a new radiator cap solves the problem.

Day 3 of using the brand new radiator cap
no sign of leaking, but there's coolant losses at the coolant reservoir , topping up before start to travel
try tomorrow not topping the coolant and monitor the level of coolant from there.

You better try to observe if there's any hoses with dried coolant powder surrounding the area.. If there is, there should be a leak at that area.

Worst case, head gasket koyak already. Coolant is going into the combustion chamber.

Since my car is already 13 years old, slight coolant loss is normal. I only have to top up probably 50ml of distilled water every 5-6 months once.

For your case, if few days and the reservoir tank goes dry, there is sure leakage but need to find where.
*
this morning the radiator reservoir coolant level at the low level , then went out for breakfast and traveled nearly 50km
after back to home , pop up the bornet and recheck the coolant level , coolant level back to max level, so the radiator cap behave as it should which is good news
anyhow will still monitor from here ..

How many litre you put when you replace your ATF fluid?

3liter as per the sales advisor at Honda Parts shop but my foreman says it wasn't enough that have to fill up a little more like 100~200ml from another unfinished Honda DW1 ATF from his shop

3 litre is actually more than enough lo.

i thought so, then i just let the fluid leak out from the breathing tube and wash the pool of fluid every month to check any fluid which is wasn't red in color.

I think it still looks good as it still remains in metal silver colour and not in baked brown.

My practice is to change engine oil every 7000 km... or 1 year (whichever is earlier) even though it is synthetic.

Cooper colour means you've pushed the engine oil beyond it's intended life.

Normally when do you change your engine oil?
*
Depends on type of oil im using
Full synth before 10k even before 6mths
Semi is before reaching 5k

Hi all,
What tyres are you using and would recommend at the moment?

I'm using 185/55 R16, as below, considering changing out the rear 2 and swap to front, looking for recommendations please

Front: MICHELIN ENERGY XM2+ (1 year old, ~ 10k KM)
Rear:  Continental CC6 (4 years old, ~35k km)

Suggest change back into xm2+ For the rear one
