I've Not Used It Before, Should I Use It Now? by Conner44: 4:39pm On Sep 28, 2016 |
THERMOSTAT Yes, I've been driving without it ever since I purchased the car from someone 2 years ago. I have been seeing discussions about it up and down since but I didn't really get bothered. I plan to do some regular maintenance on the engine soon and I am considering buying a new thermostat and fixing in. I have never used coolant on the radiator before as well. The car has also never overheated before, except one day one of the fans disconnected and I was using a/c while driving. It nearly happened that day but I parked sharply on noticing the steam. The hood paint job suffered a bit sha. Our neighborhood kazeem helps me pamper the engine from time to time. I might as well forgo installing the thermostat as I haven't really been giving thought to the fuel consumption of the car. But I acknowledge that we are in the buhari era and I need to seek if the grass is indeed greener on the other side concerning fuel consumption and installing the thermostat. I've been using the car for 2 years like this, no issues no complaints. Should I try a thermostat now or just face my front? 2003 honda accord i4 Please advise |
