temp prob

Sometimes, fan also intend to have intermittent problem which something its working and sometimes not.
Water hose also can cause a problem.

if the fan isnt powerful, the effect is gonna similar sir. running on too lean fuel mixture will give the same result, as i just found out

if its d radiator cap, the occurance wudnt be too often, unless its fecked up big time imo, which iam sure the ts will notice easily

Thank you for sharing..

The first is leaking hoses
>>try to check whether any dropping water while engine running..you might need to duck look under the car.
The second is radiator may be "sumbat".
>>if tersumbat,water from radiator should burst up either from cap or extended water tank..the water should boiled.service ur radiator..ask the mech to flush everything..

The third and most scary thing is the head is gone. He said need to remove the head, skim something and put new gaskets for the head which will cost a lot.
>>this will be require top overhaul..worst,if the water mixed with ur minyak itam..cek ur penanda minyak,cek the color..if the color of the oil like teh ais,mean it already mix with water..get ready with $$..hehe..

agreed with others,if the temp meter rise reach H,STOP the car..do not continue further..

just my 2cent

For the hose, it's not only leaked hose can cause temp problem. Hose with internally coated by 'karat' also can cause the problem. Try to squeeze your water hose to feel weather it still soft or hard.

Yesterday, I noticed something. I did not use my car at all. When I came back from work, I just wanted to see if the water level in the radiator has reduced. It reduced indeed. I poured about half a big bottle of water. Then, my father saw that there was a leakage. Water kept dripping but not from where the radiator is. It was from further in. Somewhere near the engine. My father said could be some hoses or the water pump. The temperature goes up only after driving. After filing up water, I let the engine run but temperature was normal. Then, I took it for a drive. The moment i stopped at a traffic light, it shot up. I turned off the engine at the traffic light and. But it was green so fast, so i started the engine again and drove home since i was like 500meters from home. Any idea why this happens? I need to know just to make sure I dont get played out by the mechanics. I may go check later. Another question, does radiator coolants help? I mean if there are no leakages, will it be different if I use coolants compared to just water? I bought one yesterday but it says anti freeze coolant? Can I use it?

u drain your whole radiator system, then fill 1 bottle of coolant (get the cheapest ones), & top up with water, just wait & see where the coolant leaks...easier to spot.......

yeah true coz if water leaks and you cant tell from where it could just be the air cond

Problem solved. It happened to be a leaking hose. There are two hoses that are easily visible that comes out from the radiator. These hoses were fine. The culprit was the third hose. It is somewhere near the engine. The moment my father saw that, we filled the car with a lot of water and carried extra water with us. Went to our mechanic and told him to check. He also told the same thing. Changed the hose and after that no more rising temperature. Thanks to all of you.
