Radiator - Problem Encountered

[Rado]

My fren was the one who had his radiator change for $480 at everbright. Its a original honda ver s radiator. I think for radiator its good to change to a new one. Perhaps its best that you give shops like FJT, planet, combine and survey of the price of a new radiator.

 

Test water first...

hi guys......recently i found my radiator leaked.asked mech n he says it cost abt $200 +.decided not to change it i plug the leak wif epoxy....however i juz wan to ensure not leak been left behind,does anyone here knoes any product that can plug leaking radiator?if not mistaken i ever saw it but cant remember.it is suppose to mix wif the coolant i guess....pls advice.

[lindavw]

if ur leak is not alot then try to use HOLTS coolant sealant... or coral blur coolant sealant... both products not bad.

but if too bad a hole guess u make a new one or get a 2nd hand one.

They trim off abit of the cooling fins and weld up the hole..

 

Or for S4 which uses the straight type radiator, they can frabricate 1 for you at around $180..But will be abit heavier cos of the material use.But the good thing is that you can ask for a double layer radiator which i heard can provide up to 20% cooling effect compare to a single layer..

[hi577]

symptoms r engine is hotter than normal and coolant reservoir keep emptying despite topping up regularly.

 

well mine leak at the intake n outlet of the radiator....fins so far no leak.anyway tahnks for ur help.i'll get down to ubi n ask their opinion.wat was the address again?

hi juz wanna check with u guys. i'm riding verS my coolant dry up so fast

about less than 2 wks dry already. anyone exprience tis before. anyone

know wat's the problem??

[skateboy]

isit somewhere leaking? ur exhaust got white smoke? or any wierd smell?

 

it shouldn't dry up so fast... shd b leaking somewhere...

[d3an_cain]

how 2 check 4 coolent is low or nt?? pardon a newbie askin..

[skateboy]

there is a coolant storage tank at the right side of ur bike..

the little cover u know?? that's 1 place to c the coolant level... other then that i'm not sure liao..

[fad_busa]

no coolant leaking at all. i everyday check but got no coolant stain below

[royong]

where did u check for the coolant? if it is the reserve tank at the side board, u don't hv to worry. cause it is more like a expansion tank for heated coolant to cool down there.

u engine will overheat easily if e bike don't hv coolant in it. so if u can ride for 15-20 min without getting the bike's temp going to somewhere near the high region, then it is ok.

[fad_busa]

oh ok. . i check in the reserve tank bwt thankz bro!

[IceZ]

fad..i gt the same prob like u...it last me for 6mth den empty*

after i flush the coolant..it back to normal...but the coolant smell is there...i suspect its the coolant cap seal broke...

[fad_busa]

oh izzit. . hopefully mine ok.

[sino74]

hi bro..my version R also encounter tis prob..a check wif e workshop..he spotted e hose clip near e carb not tighten enough...yet to take his werdz ...

[lindavw]

check ur radiator cap loose anot. if loose change if not before the optium pressure in the radiator is hit, the coolant flows out from the overflow tube already.

[fad_busa]

my radiator cap is tight i already check. .

[captain_des]

my best bet is

check your engine oil first coolant could very well be leaking into your engine!!

if yr eo is blue-ish white then confirm leak into engine as coolant don't just disappear, should be cos of a broken coolant seal

if bring to shop close one eye 300.00+

 

hope its not yr coolant seal!!!

[fad_busa]

so expensive. . hopefully not
