Hi All Members again,

Again, i do have 2 questions to enquire since i am new.

a) Today facing water temp increase when switching-on air con. Is increase up to end level (Of course i stop car when is reach nearby to danger area) What i have diagnostic is, when without air-con water temp as standard, but once on air-con, da temp increase directly. Recently just change termostat only as previous termostat not in good condition. Air-con fan is working and riadator water is available. Tomorrow will bring to AE to check lol.

b) My is car attach with STI Genome boost meter. Is it normal when boost over 1bar, will automatic da red light will indicator? Below 1bar no red light, once above 1bar there is a red light appear. Previously when i drove, i think i never seen this red light even after boost over 1bar. (Mayb i never reliaze)

Please share. TQVM.

Bro, just make sure both radiator and turbo reservoir have full water inside. The picture you shown (reservoir) must also have water inside and make it full.

The plastic reservoir besides the radiator must be in Full Level, follow the markings.

I have the same dilemma last year when i bought my STI ver 8, forgot to add water in the turbo reservoir tank and make my radiator leak and overheated.

the "water burnt sound" as suggested by the TS may suggest water leaking fine line crack on the engine block. The leak can be very very little, esp. when the engine is on load, due to higher water pressure/volume being circulated..

When water dripped out, it will be vaporised upon hitting the hot metal parts. This might be the source of the ""water burnt sound""

Hi , i wanna buy a manual sport car for weekend use . I am confuse to choose whether Rx8 or Toyota Celica.
i prefer rx8 much , but compare to maintanance . i always heard that rx8 got plenty of problem .
and celica is very easy to maintain . OF course if i buy rx8 i will buy the cheapest 2002 years car .10 years rotary engine . i always go long distance place . IS it many problem ? Hopefully some Sifu here get give me a clear comment .
