Weird substance inside radiator

[RENESIS VIII]

Yup, so that got space to add coolant. If turn off engine and tap still running will be full of water....lol

Around how many litres of distilled water I need to get or I just use back tap water?

Oh, tap water with coolant is sufficient? If so, work is easier.

Thanks for the offer. I'll be coming to PJ on 8th next month. But not even sure can my car endure that long journey in this condition.

Oh, then maybe meet with you next time. I'll see if my temperature problem still persists or not. These few days whenever I checked the radiator, these substances seemed to have lessen. No longer have that dried up layer on top water.

Happening too frequent in recent weeks. Most of the problems are radiator related. First is flushing, second is water dripping from drain plug and few days ago is to check see if is gasket problem.

Talking about the drain plug, one of the reasons why I drain from top hose nowadays.
Drain plug right at the bottom, difficult to access. If doing DIY without jacking up the car difficult to reach from bottom. When engine hot difficult to reach from top also. Drain plug hole small, draining slow. The rubber washer after open may leak later when fit back. The plastic drain plug may snap when tighten back as it may become brittle after long time use.....all these happen to me before.....hhahhahahah

Then it will be an awkward moment when the technician arrives and saw the machine running. Thought you guys are giving him a prank.

If don't use the drain plug, how to reduce the amount of water before adding in flush chemical to clean the block?

Rubber washer is the reason why I changed my drain plug. Mechanic said the rubber washer got old and hardened. That is why small droplets keep dripping before I changed it.

Wait until he replies.

Today I checked again my radiator. No substance at all. Water looking very clear... Don't tell me that day when my mechanic tested my car with radiator cap open, those substances somehow all flushed out already?

tak ape, at this point, just leave it, keep an eye on the temps, oil condition and water levels

I'm actually also thinking, could it be that my radiator cap is faulty? Later, I'll be driving to Kampar. Will monitor temperature at that time. I also checked my engine oil by opening the cap. Looks normal inside, not milky.

yep check the cap and the dipstick often, should be alright....

radiator cap faulty... clean the area properly then check after driving around for a while (want the pressure to build) if there are any leaks you will know.... my case it was a very slow leak the leak was under the sticker (that pin thing was letting little bits come out slowly). i kept finding some witish powdery residue and thought nothing of it. (ingatkan itu cap oxidising). Only realized it was leaking when i actually saw it dripping last week.

Checked the dipstick quite frequently. Oil level remains same.

The area on my radiator is clean. Noticed no leak at all. Is it possible if the cap is faulty but there is no leak? The cap is not too old, bought it like 2 years ago.

When you DIY always choose easy work mah! You know how difficult to cabut lower pipe or not. Of course cabut the top pipe mah.........hhahahhahahha

You're right. That day when I am doing radiator flush, I saw my mechanic having difficulties attaching back the lower pipe. For the top pipe, he did it quickly and easily.

oops, never pulled the lower pipe b4, mine only the top piece started leaking.... so i have only tried taking that off...
