Good to know that you have been prompt in fixing-up your car. At least you can be sure your trusty Kancil engine will go on until kingdom come.

has your engine ever overheated before ?

Thanks. Hopefully it does

cos mine broke when the engine was overheated.

I once got my engine overheated and I drove few more kilometres to the mechanics.
When I arrived, he told me that I was very lucky my engine didn't broke down coz it was operating under intense heat.
Changed my radiator. Costs me 180.
My car has been good since then. Until month later.
I was stucked in a traffic jam (with air-cond on) and the temp was rising to 3/4 (Near the overheat mark).
I switched off air-cond. Still the same. Drove few more kilometres and the temp going down.
Till now I had this problem. Temperature rising when not moving.
Checked the radiator fan (it's working).

Had that before, twice..
Fan will spin but it will stop after some time then the temp rises

Check ur water level.
If its fine, its probably either
- faulty thermostat : cooked n not sending d correct signal to acticate d fan
- faulty fan (not spinning fast enuf or totally failed) coz temperature goes down after some driving. May also b fan switch

try service ur radiator..

or the temperature switch for cooling fan is faulty.

Suggest you install a 'double size' water tank and change the water tank's fan motor to a new and good quality one. (tell foreman you want a good quality fan motor).

After re-fill water + collant, every day check water tank and add water if necessary.
(When re-fill fresh water + fresh coolant, some air bubble trap inside and cannot get out, must drive the car than the air bubble will gradually get out to the top of water tank, that is why need to check water level every day and add water )

also check your radiator cap. a faulty radiator cap also can cause and engine to overheat.

My 660 Kancil manual, on air conditioning 15 min, needle near H zone, if don't turn on aircon normally stay at half zone. what is wrong please help?
