Motoring For Dummies - All Your Car & Driving Questions Answered H

[jacklero]

yup I do my own maintenance as well as overhauling, mahirap lang talaga pag kulang sa gamit but since I do restoration work for my cars I made it a point to start investing in equipment. For most people I suggest that you find a shop or mechanic you would are confortable bringing your vehicle to. Deal with them well and they will treat your car well, dami kasi mahilig mangbarat, remember the old adage: "you get what you pay for!"

Bro, sa tingin mo kasing mahal sya ng pagawa sa casa mismo o hindi naman. Brought my wife's damaged City to Honda kasi and was assessed a cost of 33K. I think that is over the top. Was hoping to look for a shop that could offer the same quality repair job at a fraction of the cost. Ngayon kung mas mababa ang presyo dun sa Alex kisa sa casa then I'm inclined to give it a try.

I know this was answered before....nevertheless, one might wanna try Bonifacio Motor Works near the corner of EDSA and P. Tuazon (at the back of that unfinished white condominium). This is a 5-Star automotive shop kaya medjo mahal yung singil nila pero quality talaga. Parang hindi na-involve yung car mo sa isang vehicular accident.

One can also try either of the Branches of Allen C. Isidro automotive restoration shops:

1. Quezon Avenue fronting Sto. Domingo Church;

2. E. Rodriguez Sr Avenue (between Judge Jimenez and Egea Sts.) Left side if you are going to cubao.

 

while Allen C. Isidro no longer owns both shops, the new owners have kept all of his previous staff/workers and vows to carry on the legacy that is superbly known as ACIsidro....

1. If your radiator (the plastic top) has cracked.....you have several options:

a. Purchase a brand new radiator.....yeah evercool is good....also at a good price P5K

b. Have it repaired/replaced with a copper top. Hihinangin nila yun para sure sealed and without leaks. Cost between P1,300 - 1,800 depends on size of your radiator. Usually pati, kasama na cleaning nung radiator.

 

A good place to have it fixed ay dun sa stretch ng Kamias. Tabi tabi yan. I've tried na kay Bong Baron Car Aircon, Radiator & muffler shop. Makakatawad ka pa.

 

c. Purchase a 2nd hand radiator.....but then of course, you wouldn't know kung ano naging sira nun kaya napalitan ng original owner.

[andrewfordmedina]

eow..tanong kow lang po about sa radiator..eh advisable ba na tubig lang ang ilagay sa radiator reserve tank or kailangan talaga ng coolant..kasi yung reserve tank ng radiator eh medyo mababa na...hmmm...can you all please help me naman what to do...what i mean is pwde ba tubig nalang or kailangan na may coolant na ilagay..what type of coolant ba...different models ba needs different coolant...what if di ko alam kung what brand yung nilagay nila before...pwede ko ba haluan ito ng ibang brand....saka tuwing kailan dapat ipalinis yung radiator nio...? sorry for my ignorance...pls do help...give me some advise and tips on maintaining my radiator...im using honda city model 2000..type z..lxi..thnks..

2. About the coolant, it is safe to just fill in the reservoir clear plain water. Kung type mo, pde rin triple distilled water (ung nilalagay sa mga car batteries). The Prestone Coolant may be applied as well to any car or model. Just read the label. May mga degrees yun. Kung gusto mo ng higher temp ang kaya niya, you just increase the ratio of the coolant vis-a-vis the water.

 

I personally just use water during city trips. Bumibili lang ako ng coolant pag biyahe kami sa province.

 

 

askd kow lang ..kailan lng ba umiikot yung fan ng radiator..tuwing start ba ng makina or tuwing umiinit lang yung radiator or makina..i hve two fan sa radiator kaso everytime that i start the engine eh di sya umiikot..pero nung minsan nagamit kow yung car after kow iparkd eh saka lang umiikot at saglit lang tapos a while eh saka lang iikot ulit...is this normal...im driving honda cty type z model 2000...sensya na and pls need your advise...thnks...

3. As to the radiator fan, most front wheel drive vehicles are equipped with a temp sensor that will automatically engage the fan when the engine temperature reaches a certain point. this is to help the radiator itself in cooling down the water temperature flowing through the engine.

 

Now if the car is a rear-wheeled drive vehicle, the fan is usually interconnected with the belt drives and will turn when the engine is engaged.

Could you please be specific regarding the katok sound? Does that sounds went off if you're in D mode? Meantime, here are some things that needs to be check: Wheel Bearing, rods, camber. Again, it would be best if a good mechanic can look into it.
