good day to all, i encountered this problem last new year, nag punta kami ng mariveles bataan from laguna to bataan its a long trip almost 6 hrs. napansin ko po n mabilis tumataas ang temp. gauge ng oto ko. then nung check ko yung radiator ubos na ang laman and kumukulo yung water reservoir. check ko po tubig ng raditor wala nman pong langis. as far as a i know pag me prob. sa cylinder gasket may langis ang water sa radiator but fortunately wala nman po. may Questions are: 1.ano po posible problem ng oto ko 2. bakit po nwawala ang tubig 3. bakit po kumukulo yung reservoir 4. ano po pwede kong gawin to elliminate this problem.

oto ko po ay toyota corolla 1.6 GL

hey bro, well theres a possibility that you are pretty close to getting a BHG (Blown Head Gasket). but before we even conclude that its a BHG, dinagdagan mo ba ng tubig ang cooling system? is there any leaks?? and did you "burp" / "bleed" the cooling system???.

anywayz, but if theres no visible leaks and if the cooling system is still taking too much water / coolant, and if its still boiling up. then paniguradong may BHG ang oto mo.

aite, peace.

bro, thnks s reply, tingin mo malaking gastos to! wla po ksi akong idea kung mag kano ganito problem. thanks po ulit ng marami

sir tingnan mo rin yun aux fan mo kung gumagana pa, baka rin barado na yun radiator mo hndi na maka circulate ng mabuti yun tubig, kailangan na siguro ma overhaul yun radiator mo.
marami kasing causes ang overheat, process of elimination lang sir

its the same as what you stated above, but heres some other symptoms added as well.

-overheating
-water/coolant loss (internal)
-boiling of water/coolant (or gurgling / hissing sound in the cooling system, coming from the radiator, reservior, radiator hose. etc..)
-water/coolant overflowing the reservior (even while idling)
-constant white smoke going out the tail-pipe (parang may smoke machine sa tambutso!)
-unusual smell coming off the tail-pipe (smell of Coolant)
-engine missfire (due to wet spark plugs & combustion chamber)
-engine oil mixing w/ water/coolant (thats if the Head Gasket is totally blown!)

aite, peace.

1. check the oil bka may tubig o baka wala ka ng oil
2. check the aux fan if ok. initially di sya iikot but on certain temp aandar na sya.
3. check the the radiator it self baka barado
4. check also the water pump baka sira na o may butas
5. check the thermostat if ok din

top overhaul ito malamang. palit head gasket at valve seal.

could just be that the water does not return from the reserve tank to radiator. so baka may air leak yun mga rubber hoses to/from reserve and radiator.. or faulty radiator cap.
