Wira Temperature rises when going uphill....

[Zidane]

Guys,

i drive a 1.3 Wira 1998.

It is clocking almost 300k km.

My problem is that the car's temperature rises when i go up hill for sometime.

I travel alot. So when i go up north from KL to Penang, just asfter Ipoh, there is the long uphill until Sg PErak.

When i'm there, the temperature rises so i have to step on it.

And it goes down right when i go downhill.

Anyone has this issue before?

regards,

hello... maybe is ur radiotor got dirty maybe u try send to workshop to the cleaning (wash radiotor).... if u got budjet try use aluminum radiotor is good cooling system since u traveler alot...

it could be several reasons.
at 300k i suggest an engine rebuild

bro try service your cooling system, service radiator or use aluminium radiator as steven said, and replace some small water hose that is behind or beside of your engine, that small water hose got small valve inside it and its maybe got clog inside it and make your water circulation a bit slow for your cooling system. Sometime radiator fan also can cause this problem, even do it spin, but its maybe not spin as fast as it should be.

thanks.

i'm planning on rebuilding the engine but not yet.

thanks will check the radiator and all the components.

dun forget to check ur fan motor also...the fan speed may slower then normal if its old...

i think it's just ur cooling system is a bit clogged or ur thermostat is going kaput..
i don't think it's leaking as ur temperature drops again after it rises.
try servicing ur radiator and check ur thermostat.

I went to my mech and found the following:

Radiator blocked
Reserve full of rust
Thermostat out
Radiator fan a bit slow.

Changed or serviced for the first 3. Going to change the fan soon.
