[QUOTE="jarance, post: 86667, member: 21"] Thank for the advise. I don't think it is advisable to pressure the radiator in case there is a actually leak. Don't want to risk having the water get into the engine compartment and cause further damage. Don't really have the time to do up the car myself. I think it would be better to leave it to the expert to do it. Anyway, it is time for me to change the timing belt. Might as well do a top overhaul at the same time and check the condition of the internal part of the engine. i just hope it is the gasket that is blown. Somebody told me that there is a possibility that the engine block could be distorted due to rapid cooling of the engine block when cold water is introduced to the radiator. :cry: :cry: If that is the case, then machining is required and retuning of the car is required. Now no spare car. Goes to work with my friend. At night get to use my wife car. :wink: [/QUOTE]
