QUOTE(tutuyao @ Jan 11 2018, 02:25 PM) not the first time i heard this, mostly women drivers, of course i got cases of male friends also same case. one guy didn't know there is such thing as gearbox fluid, the car entire life never changed the gear oil  QUOTE(imperialrealcs @ Jan 11 2018, 02:28 PM) yes, hence i tak puas hati la coz this is obvious block effect and no way the mis-sighted caused this. hyundai just say voided warranty so cannot claim  But your radiator and thermostat repair not done by Hyundai right ? It was done by other workshop. To me even if you manage to argue the long service interval, SD SC can said the damage is cooling system related and that repair not done by them |

QUOTE(lsm1991 @ Jan 15 2018, 12:55 PM) the system pressurised very slowly, its not instantaneous... so if you pop the cap off a cold car then start the engine, you will notice the water swirling as the thermostat opens up. you will then find that the water slowly leaks out the open cap, wont gush out. The only way it gushes out like that, is if you try open up a cap on a warmed up car where there is already pressure build up. But even then, once the pressure normalizes it will stop flying out like a geyser. My car has no problems whatsoever... but if the engine is hot, water will gush out like the video TS shared if the radiator cap is open. So far all the outside workshop dunno how to bleed my cooling system properly, they do the radiator cap open style and can never bleed the system properly I follow manufacturer workshop manual, bleed the system with the cap on and partially close, so air escape and only a bit of coolant, not with the coolant gushing |

QUOTE(lsm1991 @ Jan 15 2018, 08:39 PM) dahek... should not bubble constantly like that. even if they do it wrongly... and there is air pockets, it should not do that... might gush abit, then stop. There are only so much air that can get trapped. ahh well long as it aint doing that no more, all is good i guess. I have a theory, of course could be completely wrong. Do you know how when you boil water, there's a lot of bubbles, that is from dissolved gases in the water. I think the same is happening maybe. |
