Have you had the valve clearances checked? The shims might need a little grinding.

My Liana '07 is fitted steelmate feedback locking system, however I want to shift back to the original immobilizer system (the fuze is out & i have the original key), how to get it done (DIY) ?
Help from experienced brothers please !

Have you air purged the new radiator ?

[mahmad786]

The correct way to identify head gasket leakage is to open the radiator cap and start the engine. See if bubbles appear in the radiator. Also, check for mustard gooey stuff called mayonnaise in radiator water.

There are bubbles , small ones but no change in color and viscocity. The coolant is clear

Had the following done to my Liana today:
1. One coil changed. The old one stopped working properly and the car started giving jerks under 2k RPM. This was all after some heavy rain showers.
2. Radiator Service. Had the radiator serviced since someone put normal water in the radiator. had it serviced and got a coolant.
3. Engine mounts changed. The car had started to vibrate vigorously. Two of the mounts were broken
4. Tuning, throttle body service.
5. AC belt adjusted.
6. Oil Change.
7. Minor tasks such as wiper rubber change, side skirt adjusted etc.
8. Gear oil, break oil, hydraulic oil checked and topped.
Cost me nearly 15k but the car is smooth now. Probably the first time I had to take it to the workshop on it's demand.

Would u mind sharing the breakup cost for the sake of knowledge and which coolant you opted for as I'm looking to pour one into mine too.

Coolant GS35 Rs.1050 for 3 ltr

Hi Guys.

I had a perfect running Liana . 3 Weeks back i had a burst radiator upper hose and things are no more same. Car is now throwing water from radiator into bottle. I have replaced radiator ,radiator cap, removed thermostat valve but still the issue is there. There are no obvious symptoms of head gas kit issue but i need a sensible engine mechanic badly. Any one who can guide me in this regard?

Umm. . . this might seem like a stupid question, but is the car heating up extraordinarily? You did not mention this.

GS coolant of korea is best so far with me,using it since 4 to 5 years.

Nope car is not heating. But since it does not suck water back so i am sure it will if i donot keep filling the radiator daily. It is not reducing water. Just throws water in bottle and i refil the radiator by the same water from bottle.

Got it. Tell you what. Keep a 1.5 ltr water bottle in the car with you just in case. Before you leave the house fill the radiator and close it FOR THE LAST TIME. Once the radiator is filled, and closed, and you've sworn you will never open it again, fill the plastic 'reserve' thingy bottle connected to the radiator to its FULL mark (or a wee bit less). Make sure the air suction pipe, which just terminates in the air, is free and clear of anything that can block it's intake.

Now DRIVE like the wind, and see if the car heats for a day or two. Don't check water until the car shows extraordinary heating. At the end of the day, if there is no heating, check water. . . but ONLY in the plastic bottle.

If it is less, refill to FULL mark.

Case in point. The radiator was never meant to be opened unless there's something broken. Don't keep opening it. The radiator heats the water, which generates pressure, which pushes or pulls water from the plastic bottle through the air intake. This is NORMAL. Don't touch anything unless the car heats.

Hope this helps.

[shamron]

Have you checked the radiator cap or simply replace it and then check for overflow

I am very happy today....spend 30000 on new kabli engine and my car still throwing water back in expansion bottle. I have replaced raditor, its cap ,thermostat valve and now engine even and still the issue is not resolved. I have asked mechanic to replace car around my engine now ....first time i am stuck in such a bad situation.

I did it but as soon as i run car on CNG and AC the water boittle starts filling and then water comes out and soon water level in radiator lowers forcing me to open radiator cap and refill. Anyhow i have changed the engine even and problem is still there....

I have same issue with Liana and i am really stuck with this. Seems like these car have some rocket science in it. I have even tried with new Kabli Engine and still it throws water. Inshallah by next month My Phd on Liana issues will be over and i may guide you on how to get it fixed
