DACH Supersonic August 15, 2018 Share August 15, 2018 The Picnic is probably reaching 10 years soon. So this kind of problems is inevitable for such old cars. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

QQDreamer 4th Gear August 15, 2018 Share August 15, 2018 actually sg cars 10 yrs is not considered old compared other countries where they can keep their cars as long as they want. SG perception is always having mind set COE 10 yrs the car is super old. with proper maintenance the car can still function as long as it is. 13 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reminds me of when i was discussing about my car's overheating problem. This mr smarty pants say better change car as the problem will keeps returning......i changed my radiator and went to jb for a top overhaul, total cost less than $1000. The jb shop told me that the sg shop sold me a radiator for an auto version.....kns! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Evillusion Supersonic August 16, 2018 Share August 16, 2018 Are there different radiators for auto/manual cars? Never heard of this before....Ya....the jb shop showed me tbe difference. Auto radiator is a bit bigger and the lower brackets for bolting is missing. Thinking of getting an oem for my manual. I checked the price in the internet. In jb it cost rm 300 and in sg it cost 280........ 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

To add to that some of us also stop caring about maintenance towards the tail end years of the COE. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had 300km on a Toyota & the gearbox still works well except that it consumed too much eo when coming to 10 years old With proper maintenance & due care, cars can perform much longer than what we may think Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But for mine there are 2 brackets missing for the pins resulting in the radiator having a gap as the pin was supposed to make the radiator sit snugly and very close. The gap was making hot air recirculate into the fins making the coolant overheat when i am not moving. The jb mech used 2 of the copper pipe from the radiator to pull the radiator to close the gap. Lucky it works but i still feel uncomfortable about the issue but the jb mech assured me the radiator is working fine.....he said no need to waste money.Need to take a look at my radiator closely if want to really describe the fault......
