But they have listed a thermostat housing assembly which is about 1.4K. Make it a habit to check coolant levels at least once a month yourself.Ĭost of water pump - Approx 2K as per Boodmo, price for only thermostat is not available. For your safety cover the cap with a thick rag when opening to soak up any coolant overflow. it should not hotter than warm to the touch before opening the rad cap. Always wait for the engine cool down i.e. Note - A gentle hissing sound of pressure being released from the radiator is normal - only **IF** the engine is warm. I have seen quite a few engines dying a premature death due to cooling system failures. Since you have to top off the coolant/water there may be a leak somewhere that is not visible to you with a casual glance. I would suggest you get the entire cooling system checked. I will take the car to the service station immediately. I have not taken the car to the service station because there was no heating issue or no visible leakage any anywhere, also radiator and pipes have been replaced last year, so I was thinking cooling system is running fine. I usually mix coolant with distilled water only, but the last top-up I used tap water. Thanks R2D2, yes, radiator cap is what I meant. Cooling problems can leave you stranded, warp the engine head or worst of all result in engine seizure. I would advise you to get this attended to quickly. The car's cooling system seems to have a blockage in the system, a faulty thermostat, or a water pump failure. Have you been filling coolant mixed with bore-well (hard) or tap water? Mix coolant concentrate with demineralised/distilled water only. You said the radiator was replaced which may have been due to corrosion due to rust or deposits in the system. I think you mean radiator cap when you say reservoir cap? The reservoir tank if pressurised has a vent hole that will automatically equalise pressure with the atmosphere. There is absolutely no visible leak from any pipes or under the car. Now could this be a symptom of head gasket leak or water pump issue or a simple reservoir cap issue? We have not taken the car to authorized service center yet. There is no oil mix in coolant and oil looks like how it should be, no increase in oil level. Radiator fan is working properly, no issues there. I checked if the coolant was bubbling and in one minute two three small bubbles appeared, that's it. And it looks like coolant level was reduced a bit than last week, or is it due to car engine was running at the time? This time coolant did not come out but I could clearly hear the pressure releasing sound. I topped up the coolant to the required level and the car was used for a week, next week I started the car first waited for a minute then opened the reservoir cap. When I tried to open the reservoir cap few weeks back, coolant came out with pressure and due to this we can't know what is the exact coolant level in the car. If we did not have the habit of checking fluid levels we would not even realize this issue. There is no loss of power or mileage and car is running just running fine other than this coolant overflow issue. Last year radiator was replaced along with some pipes, ERG, MAF sensor and intercooler was cleaned, AC also serviced last year because cooling was less. A well maintained car with all services done in authorized service centers only. Car is a 2014 September model with 85K ODO. He does not face any overheating issues either, AC cooling has reduced a bit, but cooling is still within acceptable level. From last November whenever he opens coolant reservoir cap to check coolant level, coolant is gushing out with pressure, this is when the engine is completely cold in the morning. I need some advise about an issue we're facing on my brothers Swift.
