Overheating

Chevrolet Optra 2010 Sedan, 1.6, manual 140000 miles
Hi,
I forgot to close the coolent reservior cap and drove the car almost 50KM. Seddenly i saw the temperature guage on H and stop the car. After 20 minutes i filled up coolent and start driving. After 15KM car get overheat again and radiator hose brust. My mechanic said gaskit has damage and he replaced the gaskit. On the same day when i drove 50 km car overheat and coolent hose brust again.

Then i install spare engine with new thermostate valve and coolent pump but again when i start the engine for half an hour. Temperature goes to the half of the guage. I have no idea what to do more. The last remaining thing is radiator check but as i checked both radiator in and out hose are hot which means coolent is circulating. Any one have same experience or idea what to do??

Strong sound from the air intake manifold

Bruce from United States a year ago
A strong sound coming from the air intake manifold could be an indication of a vacuum leak. This could be caused by a number of issues, including a disconnected hose, a damaged gasket, or a crack in the manifold itself. It's also possible that the sound is being caused by a problem with the engine, such as worn out piston rings or valve seals.

There are different causes for that issue. Maybe the anti theft system is not recognizing the key disabling the ignition system. Check if there is any pulse coming to the ignition coil.

Most probably the coolant system is leak, fixing it will fix the issue.

OPTRA has a plastic cover, tends to deform over time. That makes it easy to leak even after six month. There is an available die cast aluminum aftermarket replacement, its better for the leak.
