[QUOTE="DR78, post: 719239, member: 21035"] Hi all. My latest update. Collected car yesterday. Mechanic told me he did overnight pressure test and notice about 20-25% drop in pressure. Hope thats normal. He told me he resetted my car and flushed my cooling system and changed my faulty radiator cap. Now working after a damage of RM95. Lower hose I feel gets hot after some drive and pressure in upper hose not as hard like before. Now no more overheating. Hope I have resolved my problem :( fingers crossed. Btw is it a normal phenomenon to have a 25% drop in pressure overnight? Cant find any leaks though. Check water level today after some hard driving yesterday but water still same. Worried bout head gasket or bend cylinder head. Car feels smooth and no significant loss of power. [/QUOTE]
