  1. Update: I think its okay now, the mechanic said it was a bad thermostat, he even showed me, it was all rusty. For now he said no need to use the thermostat, is tht a good idea? He explained tht thermostat is to be used in cold country (I live in south east asia, near to the equator, so its tropical climate(mostly hot)) I did some research and mostly the people would not recommend it. Any opinion? A thermostat here cost about $100, that is roughly around $80usd, that includes the housing, they dont sell the thermostat separately.
  2. hello, does anyone know what is the small hose for? Sorry if this is a silly question, ive been trying to figure out what it does to the car, it sucks air tho xD
  3. i changed the tank cap, the hissing sound reduces a little bit, but I suspect theres more to the problem than just the tank cap, any idea on how to check further? To add, the hissing sound can be heard when i release the pedal, if i accelerate, it will dissappear at some point, but comes back again. I hope that this will give you the idea.
  4. Alright, Thanks for responding quickly, I'll try to replace the cap, and if the hissing sound is still there, what else do i need to check? (I just got back from work, and realise that water coming out of the nozzle near the cap, its boiling the coolant, is it normal? Because i did not overfill the tank, the coolant level before is exactly in line with the indication.)
  5. Hello, greetings from Brunei. :D I need help regarding the problem I have with my chevy spark 1.0L. I own the car around 6months now, I got it from a friend of mine. The mileage at that time is around 80k++ if i remember correctly(now 110k+). The first few months it was doing great, then after it hits 90k, Its starting to make this hissing sound from the water tank reservoir, the coolant level went down rapidly and when I visually inspect it, I found out, one of the hose is leaking, so I replaced it, and I also replaced the whole spare tank as it went bad ank look rusty
