[QUOTE="haffeel, post: 86797, member: 1101"] I was saved from Engine overheat disaster by sheer luck last week. Must have done some good deeds in the last few years :wink: Saturday morning I started the car after 15 minutes drive I reached the Projet station to fill my Tires. Stopped the engine got out finished with one front tire, the suddenly noticed water was flowing out at speed like a tap open. Opened the hood, noticed the radiator water was going out from the overflow tube :beaten: Panicked I called my mechanic, I told him I did nothing to the car except I checked the radiator water level and shut closed the cap as the water level was perfect. He asked me, did you shut close tight the cap. Well I am not sure about this, so I filled the water and closed the cap this time, very tight. After that the car been running no problem. Moral of the story, Always, closed the radiator cap very tight, or else due to some vacuum action, the water can flow out simply like that :rofl: [/QUOTE]
