[QUOTE="flash, post: 86826, member: 62"] Jarance, sorry to hear that too.... I have also suffered an overheating problem recently. The thermostat was faulty and the temp was at 3/4 mark most of the time. Got it checked by my mech. Changed the thermostat. But that is not the end of my problem. The high temperature had burnt the gasket and warped my head a bit. Got the head skimmed and done a top end overhaul at the same time. Plus all the replacement parts i.e. thermostat, seals, gaskets, skimming, valve grinding, head polishing, etc, etc, the price is around RM2k. Maybe I should have gone the whole hog and upgrade my engine to 2.5L.... :D Damn, hope there is no more huge costs coming. :( :beaten: [/QUOTE]
