no hash bro red lite not comes on.... thats why i am confused its a serious issue..

[hash4u]

No light is good news
Means car is not overheating
As i said earlier radiator cap is not retaining pressure. And since u lost most coolant radiator service is a good idea

OH ALLAH karay aisa hi ho aur koi big problem na ho car ma i pray.. waisay ma office k baad ajj check karwao ga mechanic ko b k masla ha kiya iss ma... aur radiator service b karwa lo ga.

[rizkhan2010]

dont waste ur time and money with the mechanic if ur car isnt overheating for real.... as Hash4u said....its most probably a bad radiator cap, replace it with a good quality cap...and add any good coolant after thorough radiator cleaninng by some radiator guy.

Bhae after spending so much you are still using water then its a shame.if using water and it is retained for 100KM (KM after initial light goes of counts) and a week(Max loss half liter). Then just replace the cap and test. once it fulfill the maximum water loss criteria. replace the water with coolant after flush and nuetralization. Radiator service done already so no need to go for full radiator removal. use proper step of filling coolant namely front a bit high and atleast 2 fan raditor fan cycles with cap off (Check ehow.com for procedure, can search pakwheels forum too). Once done check daily for any loss add distilled water to maintain level. after 1 week check weekly for 4 weeks, should be no loss(MAX a Glass, else you have a pinhole leak some where in the system, which will surface eventually). after 1 month do the regular monthly checkups.

coolant boiling out of the expansion tank means that somehow the coolant is boiling inside the engine/radiator - boil should not occur as the radiator cap pressurizes it hence increasing boiling point, AND there is no air in the system, boil can only occur in the presence of air, you might have trapped some air in the system - when filling up the system open the heater to max, park the car nose up and fill.If you suspect the engine is running hot take it to someone who has a live OBD scanner, not a fault reader but live scanner - ask them to display engine temperature in centrigrade, anything below 98*C and above 80*C is good. These modern engines are made to run hot to increase fuel efficiency and reduce emmissions.

Dear
Pls share with me your current city heating issue, What you have to done for that. My city 05 is start teasing us. My driver also removed thermostat and directing fans. But today he came here with a cracked head gasket. I want to know your heating issue status. Plus If you have City 2005 manual, can you lend me or ask someone to scan and post it on Pakwheels. It one of the hardest find manuals both in my house and on web. I am searching it since a year or so.

I hope you will reply me soon,

Thanks in Advance,

Autophile and Qwerty, my driver removed the thermostat valve once but when we got work done, the workshop put a new one. Attached below is the list of stuff done back in 2010.

The radiator cleaning stuff you have mentioned has been repeated quite a few times indeed. The drivers can't figure out WHERE the water is disappearing even on the stationary car.

Your input on the head gasket particularly Honda cars facing the issue is of news to me. Question now is, WHAT should be done - everything all over again, head gaskit, thermo, what? Oh by the way, the heater stopped working too since these issues came up.
