Lennon,
my radiator light came on when i was accerating to 160+kmh, i thought my radiator tak ada air, but when i check it, its full with coolant and water. any idea why the indicator came on for a few seconds?

Just be aware of the coolant you're using.... there are three types of coolant which can differentiate by it colour........
1)Green one - the normal type and cheapest, but oso the most acidic of all... it can cause corrosion to your radiation and eventually leak. Make sure you mix it lots of water.
2)Red one - such as the Toyota coolant, it's better than the green one but not the next one.
3)Blue one - refers to the BMW and Mercedes coolants. the best of all becos it's gentle to your radiator and it has a protection chemical that keep the radiator hose unpenetrated. It can last longer, hence it's widely recommended.

Boy, can you ask your mech to check the themostat whether there's any blockage..... You're saying during idling the fan wasnt working?? Do you find any water leakage on the engine site???...... Is the fuse burn off or the fan was spoilt?? Or maybe you let go too much coolant that day??

ya lo a lot of problem kan. this one the worst. u know normally when the car is hot, the fan will on even u off the car. well don't here that. i think its cause by unprofessional mechanics we have here. even service also bad!
lennon. no water leakage. fuse i also checked already. let go too much coolant might be 1 of the reason.
