my car overheat, pls help

[GreatHunteR]

Hi guys, need some help for my belove car.
Here is the situation, after running for around an hour at the speed of 100kph, my camry(2000) tend to overheat, the temperature meter is not soaring, it keeps at normal temperature, but when i open the hood, water inside the bottle(which is link to the radiator ) is boiling, what is its problem? i have service the radiator at jan 2009, does it need to service so frequently? one thing i forgot to tell, this happen at night. i cant imagine what going to happen if this happen in afternoon.


pls help me guys

[tUrBiKss_pRoToN_vR4]

first u need to check ur temprature sensor..check if its show the right reading or not...
and usually if ur water tendang to spare tank, maybe coz of head problem..hav to skim it..but this just what i think la bro...

Thanks guys for all ur opinion, i have send it to my mechanic, since i hav skim the head once, my mechanic suggest me to change the head, n somemore worse is, the cost of the head is nearly same as engine kosong, this time die kau kau liao.
where can i find the head in this site, how much does it cost, n how bout the engine kosong?
if the engine need to be transplant, what choices do i hav beside the stock engine, i hav been ask my mechanic bout transplanting caldina engine but sadly it can not fit

your engine had overheated to the maximum, therefore causes the gasket head to bend.
u need to find another engine kosong, try kedai potong, the faulty water pump caused your
overheating.

pls help me guys

- remove the old water coolant if have any...flush with normal water, then fill it up with RO (Reverse Osmosis) water...
- done that, during cold start open your radiator cap...see if the thermostat working or not...by checking the water movement in the radiator...this also will check if the water pump working or not...
- check your radiator fan...if not mistaken Camry's radiator fan have two speed radiator fan like most do,check it by feel it with your hand the differences of air blown and by hearing...
- i still can rectify which is which ...better she the "doctor" before more severe damage done due to overheat...

all the best...good luck...

ok, here some suggestion:
-check for leaking
-check ur fan speed
-check ur radiator got dirt or dirty jamp inside
-check ur water pump circulation
-check the thermostat
-check the thermo sensor

do you using any coolant?
if u use coolant better use toyota long life coolant, cause that 1 is diff with the cheap 1 its can prevent ur radiator karat....and make the water highier boiling point....
last time my car also like that, after i check actually is the fan speed not high.
the thermo meter keep at normal, and all prob same with u....
