i think this is the 1st time i when here

anyway, i wonder izzit normal when our car trap in jamm & suddenly the temp meter rise about 75%, 25% to hit the red hot mark?

but when it start moving, it will decrease to 45 or 50% from the full temp.
normal ka nih?

thanks

ur engine need to change gasket oreli..

not enuff water is it? did u check anything/

gasket? what its for?
izzit my cooling fan faulty?


water? u mean coolant ka?

check water coolant level
check radiator fan (usually is this)

ehehe..an oc guy came into car section..like 'lembu dalam kandang kambing'

okay, going back to the topic.there are a lot of factors to car temp rise..like radiator's fan not working, water pump not working, not enuff water, radiator clogged, thermostat prob, and others...

i believe your case in not normal, so i suggest you go to a mech and get it checked/rectified.just my 2 cents

owhh, ok gonna check 1st then
thanks 4 d' reply


wahh, u kutuk me arr?
lol, im newbie on automotive maa, always hang at OC section usually

hehe not kutuk lar..perli only btw,everyone a newbie once, and we learn new things everyday

p/s-u didnt state what car u're driving..

hehee.. onli cheapop EON car
if EG or EK, sure oledi inform

lol.why u say cheapop mar? its expensive in a way that u wont get the quality for the price u paid.. (i'm also driving proton )

erm,for newbies like u (and me), i think its better if you send the car to the mech first for them to check and confirm on the problem.but need to find a trustworthy mech so u wont get cheated..

yeah..get a good mech...then ask them why like that and like that..
then verify the price and problem in lowyat..then oni go back and do...

It could be that your radiator fan is not working hence there is no air to cool the system or if the fan is working probably the water pump is not efficient anymore, it doesn't produce the pressure needed. Other causes might be a clogged cooling passages in the engine block.

ok guys, problem solve
what a n00b i am

the prob is air sudah kering

really lucky to have my car not on fire
else might spend my raya budget to repair car

thanks for all ur support & i wish selamat hari raya

thanks
