diyed my hoses yesterday, cos they were apparently leaking but somehow solved themselves over time. was leaking recently again so decided to change. drained out the coolant, was about 2L.. but when i tried to put back, only can fit in 1L.. why? i made sure visually there were no kinks or bends, everything was the right way. today when i was driving to sch, the water temp on the dashboard shot up to almost red.. my other water temp gauge also shot up.. stopped by the road and i realised... i didn't tighten the hose going from the top of the radiator into the engine coolant was leaking from the engine side and steam was comin out. tightened it with a 10c coin.. but still the temp was rising. when i reached sch, found my flat head and screwed the hose clip tight... after starting the engine... the temperature still rose up quite quickly to red. coolant reservoir is still full.. weird things is, when i shut down the engine.. the water temp reading on my gauge fell down quite quickly... usually it would just hang on there but today it dropped really fast how how?? the car is still in sch n i can't get back home

argghhh.... parked my car yesterday evening and left the sun roof open by mistake (just raised it, didn't slide it).. then it rained very heavily later and about 30mins later... i felt weird and realised that i forgot to close it and quickly ran to the car.. but it was too late.. there were puddles of water on both seats.. and the carpeted floor which already kinda stinks were wet... the rear was also wet and the cloth i put behind all stinks.. tried to air it today.. scared mould n bacteria will grow in the carpeting.. then stink up the whole car... how?
