My Radiator Reservoir Gets Empty Quickly by Omotakins(m): 9:06am On Apr 16, 2019 |
My car's(Honda) radiator reservoir gets empty fast. I top it constantly. What probably is the problem and what is the way out? Your responses will be of great value. |

Omotakins: You have a leak somewhere, I'd say. Probably should change your radiator or something. |

I hope the leak is traceable if that really is the problem |

Omotakins:i suspect a leakage, Radautoworks has something she sells that you pour into the radiator and it goes all the way to the leak and blocks it instead of changing the entire unit but first you have to get the radiator checked to know the actual problem 2 Likes |

Check for leakage if none good for you, u mentioned that it over heat, how many fan does u radiator have? If one buy a two fan radiator, what do top it with? If water, radiator is not designed to use water alone Because water boiling point is 100 degree but coolant boiling point is 220 degree, u see?, rather buy a coolant that Is already mix with water in four litter can, like abro red 1 Share

Symptoms of coolant going down is a clear evident of leakage and leakage can be internal or external .U need to find a 21 century workshop that can perform cooling system pressure test to dig out the root of leakage . Pix shown above depict the tool at work . 1 Like

RZArecta2: Thank you. It's easy to find leak if you do it right and maybe plug it too without replacement 1 Like 1 Share |
Re: My Radiator Reservoir Gets Empty Quickly by Omotakins(m): 8:16pm On Apr 17, 2019 |
timenamoney:Thanks. It is a two-fan radiator. Can the problem be the fact that it is a one-cell radiator? |
Re: My Radiator Reservoir Gets Empty Quickly by Omotakins(m): 8:21pm On Apr 17, 2019 |
RZArecta2:Thanks for the response. I will need to do some searching to know where I can have the leak checked |
Re: My Radiator Reservoir Gets Empty Quickly by radautoworks: 2:43pm On Apr 19, 2019 |
Omotakins: What state are you in? We can check it. |
Re: My Radiator Reservoir Gets Empty Quickly by Omotakins(m): 8:27pm On Apr 19, 2019 |
radautoworks:Ogun state |
Re: My Radiator Reservoir Gets Empty Quickly by timenamoney: 12:38pm On Jan 19, 2020 |
Omotakins:in Nigeria where our climate is hot is better to use two fan radiator I don't use the four litre rubber any more because of fake products, rather I use Abro coolant in a can which can not be faked by Nigerians, see picture

Re: My Radiator Reservoir Gets Empty Quickly by timenamoney: 4:56pm On Sep 25, 2020 |
Omotakins:No, a one cell radiator can also work perfectly in Nigeria but it should use 50% coolant and 50% destiled water like swan bottle water or air conditioner water but I prefer the abro coolant in a tin container that says DO NOT MIX WITH WATER especially when you use a themostat in your engine CHEERS |
Re: My Radiator Reservoir Gets Empty Quickly by timenamoney: 5:35pm On Oct 13, 2020 |
Omotakins:NO , but two cells help more in hot summer traffic jams |
Re: My Radiator Reservoir Gets Empty Quickly by erico2k2(m): 10:33pm On Oct 13, 2020 |
timenamoney:Dead advice.leave the damn thing the way it was manufactured. Frisco is hotter than the Sahara during summer. we should stop this africa is hot mentality. |
Re: My Radiator Reservoir Gets Empty Quickly by timenamoney: 6:29am On Oct 14, 2020 |
erico2k2:what is Dead about this issue ( don't you have a better polite way to express yourself? ) or what wrong advise are you talking about when I said NO when asked if one cell radiator is the issue (after he admits he has two cell already ) two cells radiator is bigger and contain more coolant and have better chance to discharge heat especially during a hot summer traffic jams with air conditioner on ( don't it make sense to you, Mr perfect ? ) you sound un-polite without reading properly which is very bad of you #be social |
Re: My Radiator Reservoir Gets Empty Quickly by erico2k2(m): 6:49am On Oct 14, 2020 |
timenamoney:Nop I cant be polite cos it's advice like these that lead people to kill thier cars. There are cars equipped with double cells and double fans.leave the damn car the way it was manufactured. No one in the US will advise you to do same in summer cos wen U say summer you mean America or Europe cos 9ja do t have it.I repeat Texas is very hot in the summer and Florida has a topical feel no one does that shyte in thier cars. replace like 4 like parts. you belong to them school of thought who sing tropicalization. |
Re: My Radiator Reservoir Gets Empty Quickly by timenamoney: 7:36am On Oct 14, 2020 |
erico2k2:1) there was no advise (because he already has a two cell radiator ) 2) all what your writing has nothing to counter with what I wrote above 3) you said =wen U say summer you mean America or Europe cos 9ja do t have it { chia tell me if we have winter or freezing snow, defind summer } your comments are ABSOLUTE and UNRELIABLE |
Re: My Radiator Reservoir Gets Empty Quickly by ZIMDRILL(m): 8:57am On Oct 14, 2020 |
Omotakins: if there is no leak then your headgasket is gone there is lots of misinformation here Whether double radiator or not that wont stop a car from overheating if there is leak or if the headgasket is gone 1st i suggest you get a UV dye to check for leak https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rDuGeQnMOzk&ab_channel=ScottyKilmer 2 do compression test |
Re: My Radiator Reservoir Gets Empty Quickly by erico2k2(m): 8:59am On Oct 14, 2020 |
Omotakins: timenamoney:check who was suggesting two cell radiator here!The OP said he h[b]as two fans on his single cell radiator,[/b] |
Re: My Radiator Reservoir Gets Empty Quickly by erico2k2(m): 9:01am On Oct 14, 2020 |
ZIMDRILL:i feel you bro, u are right two cell or waht not wont stop over heating, however those Online Mechanics who give advice that suggest one should ulter the measured parts o n a car are the ones Im all against.its these same group that make others wire their fan direct long term Nah THEM |
