You said temperature was very high and the engine died, therefore probably overheated and gasket burnt. Also Check whether your header got warp or not?Thanks for the infos guys.
Actually i hit a dog the previous night.I was cruising at 100kmh.And this dog made a suicide when my car came.
It was a country road that has no light and this dog came out of nowhere.
The hit looks like not serious.By the time,i know my bumper would have some crack.
But what i didnt thought is,this dog hit the bumper till protruding in because there was a small grill at the bumper for waja.
Till the AC condenser bend and made the radiator to leak.
I didnt aware of this and continue to drive as my home is just 15min to reach.
Just before reach home,there was a traffic light,the engine stopped when i free the gear.
I saw the temperature reading was so high.I start the engine and pull over the car to the side of the road.
I open the bonet and saw radiator leaking.Then i wait for the temperature to become low.I start back the car and drive back to home.
Today went to the radiator shop and changed a new one.I thought the problem solved but the temperature rise up again as soon i reach home.I saw some boiling inside the reservoir tank.The radiator shop boss said,if happened like this means head gasket probably burnt.
Some more,before this i only need to turn my key to start the engine.Now i need to press the accelerator too.
I take care of my car very well.Now it became a headache just because of a dog.You guys had similar experience on this radiator issue?
common problem is head bent,head gasket kong...and probably piston is scuffed too......so safe bet is to tow the car and sent to workshop for top overhaul....change psiton if the piston condition too bad...Thanks for the infos guys.

Filtered tap water as nowadays our tap water is bad......tap water + coolant will do the job well
haha~ok.. with 0.5 micron filteringFiltered tap water as nowadays our tap water is bad......
RM1.50 still got. Buy from sparepart shop or Ace hardware.Battery water today cost about rm2.50/bottle edi....
If can, take distilled water from lab. FOC
Even with the large rocket filter also good enough as long as comes out clear.....haha~ok.. with 0.5 micron filtering
This is terrible man... Seem like have to go through with ceramic filtering.
The above is direct from the tap. After passing the rocket filter is okay already, but for drinking, it passes another ceramic filter first.....hahahhaThis is terrible man... Seem like have to go through with ceramic filtering.
Btw, my area is good, normal 5 micron filter will do the job well.
Another option, go Tesco buy a 5L drinking water to fill in... should be safe.
