:rolleyes:
Kinda stoopid question, i guess the price is ok, but does it really work?
how much temperature will this thing bring down? especially in traffic jams, hopefully someone has tried b4 cos i really need to do something about my overheating problem leh... :ph34r:
Do from BASIC:
1. Engine oil, i recommend Chemlube Full Syn (10w30,10w40 or 20w50), i am freelance dealer.
2. thermostat?
3. radiator fan?
4. coolant? i recommend oil base instead of cheap powder base.
5. air fuel mixture?
6. fuel pressure into manifold? fuel pump?
Add-on for better water temp:
1. Bubble removal tank.
2. Oil catch tank. [/b][/quote]

- i am using the standard Merc recommendation which is the normal Mobil Semi-Sync, need some advice is that adequate also. Any recommendations?
2. thermostat?
- termostat checked and they say its okie, and radiator cap is at 1.3 pressure. and cap has been modified to allow maximum water flow.
3. radiator fan?
- in the midst of upgrading into dual Bosch, bigger and faster RPMs.
4. coolant? i recommend oil base instead of cheap powder base.
- using the original merc coolant, i think its oil. Any recommendation?
5. air fuel mixture?
- the car would be undergoing a torque overhaul, seems like the head gasket gone, seals and also the spark plugs platinum super 4 also gone liao.
6. fuel pressure into manifold? fuel pump?
- changing the single fuel pump into double fuel pump, i did suspect the fuel pump for some time also.
Add-on for better water temp:
1. Bubble removal tank - Please PM me your best price loh.
2. Oil catch tank. Yes, bought one already and will install after torque overhaul.
Wanted to install ATF cooler and Engine Oil cooler but very hard to find universal kit locally that can fit a merc loh.... thanks... whadaya think about all the above?
