tonite when almost reachin my carpark, car suddenly breakdown. can feelin rpm getting lower n lower when i step on the accelerator pedal. but b4 tat halfway through the journey already felt the rpm droppin to about 500rpm which i find it occuring the first time. initially thought engine stall. managed to start the engine again n carried on my journey back to carpark. reached my second level of the mscp. same problem occur again. this time round seen smoke coming out from my bonnet. quickly open up the bonnet as i scare engine caught fire. engine very hot n smoke caused by the heat. off the engine once. to my surprise, even after i off the engine, the engine still moving until about 2-3 mins later then the engine totally stop. find it so amazin tat without the key the engine still can run. n discovered tat the temp in the meter is H. which is very high temp. n the red signal for the water shortage is out, the one with a alladin lamp with a drop of water. n the rpm returns to idlin at a very slow rate. meaning if i accel till 3000rpm. it will slowly crawl back to 1000rpm rather than straight away fall back. engine oil also within safety level. call up my regular mech, told him about my condition. he suspect its the water shortage in the radiator. but when i check my spare tank for the radiator, the water level is oni 1-2cm shortage of the optimum level. my mech said the water under the radiator cap might be insufficient. told mi to wait for about an hr b4 openin the radiator cap to top up the water. 2hrs later i open up the rad cap n top ur about 2.5-3 litres of water into the radiator. after tat start the engine again. to my disappointment the red signal with the alladin lamp n water drop is still there n i can feel the idlin rpm getting weaker n weaker n like the engine dyin like tat.... very sian... any bros here encounter this b4 n got any correct remedy for mi??? thks a lot.................
