Go to any outside workshop locally to establish whether radiator cap is faulty or water pump leaking ........ provided you found honest and trustworthy ones.
Forget about your Perodua SC! I consider their suggestion as being not honest and competent. This post has been edited by zeng: Jun 7 2017, 08:13 PM |

QUOTE(tboonc @ Jun 9 2017, 10:29 AM) i checked this morning and i realized there is one part seems like rusted and little water leak stain. (from my observation and opinion. [attachmentid=8885964]  This is exactly a leaking point. Clean it up, and it should help ....... and may possibly solve your problem.  |

QUOTE(Tonysan @ Aug 22 2017, 10:05 AM) Ya.. is at the upper part of the tank... there are some color water mark, believe is coolant... and last week mechanical found out water in tank have drop massive.... Colored water mark is a strong indication of leaks.my mechnicl quote me material only rm388....(genuine myvi manual) If the leaks is at the radiator top cover made of plastic, mechanics normally recommend replacing complete radiator unit. Having said this, one need not go for 'genuine original from myvi' really as equivalent replacement unit does the job as well. Agreed with above that RM388 is a bit pricey, I personally wouldn't pay this kind of price though. |

QUOTE(lancer122 @ Aug 22 2017, 11:23 AM) If not mistaken, the outside car mechanic told me was genuine, but I think maybe just normal part not genuine At RM388, that's on the high side ......for 'non-factory unit' .This post has been edited by zeng: Aug 22 2017, 11:53 AM |

QUOTE(tboonc @ Aug 22 2017, 02:41 PM) Since you said upper part of tank leakage which is a common problem for many myvi users here, you can just replace the top cap if you are having a tight budget. Are you refering to radiator cap.. ?http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/DAIHATSU-SIRION-...IkAAOSw~OdVXY~A This you can DIY, no need send to radiator/mechanic shop. |

QUOTE(tboonc @ Aug 22 2017, 10:21 PM) Sorry for the confusion, what I mean is the upper part of the radiator. I dunno what does it call, it seems like a cap or cover closing the top part of radiator. I think I shouldnt use the word 'cap'. That I call top cover or top header , covering an entire top areas of the radiator core assembly.Agree that replacing top cover/header is cheaper than replacing complete radiator assembly. |
