Hi to all pakwheelers. I am new to this forum as i have recently bought cultus 2011 model and as i am also a begineer in driving so i have very less information regarding working of cars.
The problem i m facing is that radiator of my cultus is reducing water daily.the work which i have done so far for this problem is:
1.changed head gasket
2. Two hose pipes changed(1ruber and 1metallic)
3. Bought New radiator
But still radiator is reducing water.
Please help me, i have read multiple threads but nothing is working for my problem. I will be very thankful to the senior pakwheelers here.

There is no thermostat valve in my cultus, i guess previous owner remove it. And fan is direct after head gaskit replacment.
Can u please tell wat is the meaning of expansion bottle properly connected with radiator??
I noticed that radiator water is reducing but water in expansion bottle has increased

The reservoir bottle which is connected to radiator by a small pipe check that pipe connection... While ac is on water is exchanged from that bottle.

Water is going from radiator to reservoir bottle but not coming from bottle to radiator

Change cap and check for sludge and oily deposits on the cap or on top of radiator

I just changed cap this evening..and there was no sludge on the cap.. but there is some mixing of oil with water in radiator, but my mechanic told me that this little oil comes for a day after head gaskit replacement, and i got head gaskit replaced yesterday

Get your radiator serviced and then check.
What i your mechanic saying about this problem even after gaskit replacement?
This oil should not come but still in home open the radiator pipe and flush it with water from top to clean all previous residual and then check again.

This radiator is new(i got it two weeks back).
I went to mechanic today but he was not there, i will go tomorrow again.. i have changed radiator cap myself today(thinking this might be the problem) and i will also check this pipe connecting radiator and reservoir bottle and then will look for the response. I will share it tomorrow

Bhai you should have changed after gaskit and i think he did not do a good head gasket job on your car...
How was the condition of head? Did he surface the head? Which type of gaskit was used the cheap one which reduces engine pick and compression or genuine company one? Please share the work experience as most of the mechanics here are dumb.... From where had you got the work done? Road side mechanic? Share cost incurred on labour and parts

pwuser154018349365 (Zarsham) 2018-10-22 21:39:30 +0500 #13

Yes the head was surfaced at that time by kharadia, i dont know which gaskit that was, but he took 600/- rupees for gaskit, 1000 for head facing, 2000 labor charges.
The road side mechanics are those which are other than authorized suzuki mechanics.right?

If head gaskit is is not working fine that also leads to this much reduction in radiator water?

sayedgulhassan (Syed Hassan Bukhari) 2018-10-22 21:56:14 +0500 #15

Gaskit used was moti wale and company fitted costs more this gaskit, this reduce engine pick and compression...
Radiator water is decreasing in radiator or reservior bottle?
Pour colour coolant and check for leakages it might be leaking... Check all radiator hose pipes.

pwuser154018349365 (Zarsham) 2018-10-22 22:16:54 +0500 #16

Water is decreasing from radiator not from reservoir bottle..
2 hose pipes were changed yesterday as they were leaking. I think i should replace all hose pipes as there is no visible leakage from anywhere

pwuser154018349365 (Zarsham) 2018-10-22 22:20:04 +0500 #17

Yesterday after head gaskit replacement, water was filled and i drove like 40 kms and then today in the morning when i checked the radiator there was no water, like i have to fill like 400 ml again. I think this is too much reduction of water

sayedgulhassan (Syed Hassan Bukhari) 2018-10-22 23:58:53 +0500 #18

Check for more leakages and use coloured coolant it will help in tracing out the leakage... Use 150 1 litre packing coolant

He should use cheap coloured coolant to trace leakage and after than use good quality coolant otherwise he will waste his hard earned money.
