[QUOTE="chong82, post: 18352, member: 18600"] Was on the way to genting, half way there i noticed the Water Temp needle tilted to the hot side a bit only and i immediately stop the car at the road side (The low level coolant indicator did not turn on). Steam started coming out from the engine bay and after waited for an hour or so, i re-fill back the radiator and check for any leakage under the car and found no sign of leakage anywhere. The water in the radiator maintained at a level and didn't reduced. So i decided to proceed to the nearest rest area and further check on the matter but before i could go more than 2km, the Water Temp needle tilted to the hot side again. I stopped the car again at a bright place and called the tow truck. Reached home dead tired after 4 hours since the incident started. 1) Is it due to the faulty radiator fan? but after i reached home, i started the car and check on the fan, its working.2) My car couldn't start after i reached home, the clock reset itself. Is it because i on the double signal for too long? I had to use another car to jump start. I knew that i will cause engine oil leakage if i still insist to drive after i re-fill the radiator, but the place where i stopped is very dark. Would not want to risk myself. [/QUOTE]
