CF4 radiator roughly how much? mine kong!!! engine almost kong tooo, damn!

huh, that's really bad. I don't know the price.

I used to used SM4's (DOHC JDM spec) radiator for my ex-H22A SV4. But, not sure if SM4's radiator can use for F20B. U can try, if finding a F20B radiator is a lot hassle.

ehsean,

radiator kong? wat do u mean? leaking? or clogged? anyway i hope things will be ok for u n ur car. u can try to source for that radiator from sun fuji. they had lots of CF4 hafkats when we went there last time. and i think CF4 hafkats are not that popular so they should still be there

S14... no prob... u owe me a roti canai heheh

U mean leaking la ? Engine goes hot ! Hahaha...

Get a bigger radiator la....used one....might leaks too...

anyone done 90,000kms services ? What need to be changed ? Might not send the car to honda service centre la.....no confidence....

bought a 2nd hand CF4 radiator from puchong half cut shop, RM200, very new
got it installed to my car, so far it's still running smoothly, luckily i didn't burn my gasket....
i called up LHS, they said new CF4 radiator cost like RM2k+ ? wtf....
LHS pic said, normally people will get local H22A's radiator and have it modify to fit CF4, new one only cost like RM600+

ALWAYS CHECK YOUR HEAT LVL when you drive guys!!! don't just concentrate on the speed n petrol lvl, hahahaha
i drove till my car auto shut down, then only i found out my engine was wayyyyyyyy overheated, hahahahaha

 

[nksc]

aiyyoo..u drive very hard eh ehsean..hardcore..hahah

 

[Sato]

Lucky ur car shut down automatically...hahaha...

Wonder how a smoked CF4 look like ? Kekkee...

 

[amdfaisal]

when ur car auto-shutdown, were u driving or the car was simply idling by the roadside? if u were driving... the engine suddenly shutdown or were there any warnings? i don't always check my car's coolant level/condition. i guess some checking needs to be done to avoid any problems...

 

[ehsean]

my mechanic told me, car nowdays will auto shut down if it overheated from leakage radiator or any other reason that caused it. this is to prevent your engine from blowing up or burned gasket. Even Waja has this pre-set in it's mainboard? (if that is what you guy called it), so i guessed our CF4 or CL1 has it as well. That is why my gasket isn't burned, kekeke

me not hardcore user la, just that i was damn tired the other day, not observant enough when i was driving, keke

amdfaisal: i was driving along federal highway when my car started to jerk and auto shut off, i thought it was my battery, then i noticed my heat meter was as high as my petrol meter, hahahaha
luckily there was this bus stand near the turning to jalan bangsar, i parked there to let my car cool off. so 'malu', CF4 Accord overheated by the roadside, ppl must be thinking, bah, JDM cars sucks, jejejeje
sorry eh CF4 CL1 nation, for this memalufying incident LOL

 

[amdfaisal]

ehsean,

you parked there with you hood/bonnet up? anyway... last week there was this congestion on fed hiway at nite around 9 when i was going back from work... from the ITIS signboard i knew that there was a car stalled somewhere.

at first i thot it was surely one 20-yr old car that died in the middle of the road... when i finally reached that spot, it was actually a new 5 series that stalled in the middle lane... demn... the driver was clearly disgusted... yeah imagine a new shiny beemer... latest version... in the middle of the road with its hood/bonnet up... ayooo...

 

[Sato]

Hahaha...new bmw.....sheer driving pleasure ma....

But sometimes....when u see those cars stalled on side of the road.....might not be what u think got problem la....

Sometimes....ppl changes car from 1.6 or 2.0 to 2.5 or 3 litres....hahaha....no more fuel also dunno ma...hahah....

Sometimes....the battery also might give problems la...i'm not sure la....how come new car must come with cheap battery ? It's kind of their tactics to save them some money....earn more.....

 

[amdfaisal]

no fuel... experienced that twice with my EJ8. The tank was almost empty. the amber low-fuel indicator has been lit for quite some time. I even had difficulties starting the car...

in jalan tun razak kl about 3pm... continued to drive passing a caltex, shell and esso. target was petronas kg baru... just less than 1km away engine died and wouldn't start. girlfren was furious beside me. took a taxi with a softlan bottle and bought RM4 of fuel. then filled the tank with that RM4 of petrol and proceeded to buy full tank...

second occurence... was in a hotel in bangi for a conference... no time to buy petrol before going. in the afternoon wanted to go back cannot start car... ayoo.. fortunately i fren was there... he helped me to buy petrol.

with CF4 never tried.

How long can maintenance free battery last for ?

Mine already 2 years....now a weak crank every morning shows battery is time to change....but when ? until it can't crank or juz change it now ?

Hehehe...

 

[amdfaisal]

if u don't want surprises better replace it now. if you have AAM then you can wait until the battery dies le heheh...
