bro, where to find the club member?

why honda engine prone to overheating? you also driving EG? :proud:

 

[monsh]

nope im driving toyota .
but honda really is prone to overheating .
bcos of the engine block made of alloy or something .
is your radiator the half sized as well ?
like those B series engine radiator ?

my brother in law is using EK 4 door .
he also few times encounter this .
had to change the whole cooling system .

 

[lewis26]

yea.... i also thought the same.... any idea how much does a water pump cost?

water pump doesnt cost much below rm100 for d series if dint remember wrong.
workmanship could cost as much as the pump or more depend on the workshop since it at the timing belt area.
i always have it change during change timing belt.

i drive honda never encounter such thing as prone to overheating.
whenever car overheat is either hose leaking or radiator blockage thanks to rusty water source so i ended up fill radiator with filtered water nowadays.
even overheat up to red bar the engine still good no need change gasket.
biggest problem of honda would be alot cap ayam replica parts. becareful when buying.

the paip directly after the water meter of any normal house.
all kind of crap in there especially old housing area.
any normal filter place after the water meter u will c all those dirty stuff stuck at the filter.
workshop usually dont have filter & they fill up customer car radiator with those dirty water

i remember the EG i drove have 2 layer radiator instead of those thin single layer.
u can always change them @ chop shop they got 2 layer honda ori radiator.

tesco 5 liter ? it is the RO water? cause i heard ppl said use those reverse osmosis can make rust free... so i think next radiator wash wanna use RO water and see.....

 

[monsh]

might as well use distilled water .
its pure water . no mineral at all .
better choice for non-corrosion .

those reverse osmosis water consider as distilled water? or we need to get batt water?

 

[monsh]

distilled is better than reverse osmosis .
battery water also good .
RO and distilled is different .
if u see the nutrient, distilled all 0 .
it has no minerals at all .
so i guess its better when it comes to cooling system .

at least this is the knowledge i got when playing watercooling for computer system .
we either use distilled water or battery water .

where can i get so much of distilled water to fill up my cooling system?

 

[monsh]

petronas/shell got sell .
most probably any petrol station has it .
i think around RM7 for 5 liters .

definitely below 10 ringgit .

if buy at giant, could even get at RM5 if im not mistaken .

[monsh]

they sell it in 5 litres .
just ask the cashier guy .
they should have it .
Even in 7-Eleven they have it .
try to look for it .
if u want to make sure, just check the nutrition facts. its supposed to be all 0 .
