[QUOTE="sakuraguy, post: 981315, member: 6441"] [B]Radiator Maintenance - TURBO & NON-TURBO[/B] Hello guys, I have a curious question here, hope someone whom better knowledged can help me out and help some others out there via this article also. I'm driving for more than 8yrs and own my car for 3yrs .. recently i was disturbed and curious about my own act on my car. The week after i bought my car, i forced to throw out my radiator coolant. Since then its has been 3 years, i use only plain water in the radiaor circulation tube and the water supply deck. [B]Suddenly 2 of my fren came and observing my engine and ask me, He asked : "Hey u car coolant finished already?" .. I said : "No i dont use coolant, Just plain water"[/B] Someone please explain and confirm, when should i use coolant? and why? .. Before i start having my own car, my father's fren .. whom was a foreman at UMW Toyota, advised that, road cars, cruising inner towns no need use coolant, plain water is enuf. He said also, coolant is for long journey drivers, for their vehicles, like people who travel far always .. like from KL to Penang and from Penang to KL .. and for rare long journey runners, once they back to their home .. it's advisable to flush out those coolants, because if the coolant stays longer in radiator without observation .. it can form rust and spoils the waterpump .. I had experience from my frens Honda CRX Si .. his water pump spoilt, water is not moving to radiator to cool the engine, every time fill the water deck sure the water finish within 1 day. It's a bad day for him .. So, i concluded those experience .. to follow in my car. Im using the car for 2 yrs plus and another car for 1 yr already .. i do the same but the car runs fine and the tempreature and radiator condition is ok .. but i use only "ANTI-RUST liquid together with the plain water. I have travelled to Perak twice, Thailand once and JB once .. but i forgot to put coolant, but it still runs fine .. no problem at all... So.. for u guys .. wat would u do? and wat will u suggest? ..
