Some parts of the United States are just as hot as Nigeria yet they don't remove thermostat. I've been using my car since 2013 and it works perfectly well with the thermostat intact. Before I agree with my mechanic on anything, I mostly check the internet and this has really helped.

MANY gullible car owners will be like OP and NL are sickos .Their road side mechanic is the best.
some American luxury car and lions give serious issues when their thermostat is removed and road side mechanic will say; Oga if you remove it. my hand no dey, because of last police station experience .
SAY NO THERMOSTAT REMOVAL,

@ the bolded, I was told that was wrong by some guys here, I still maintained it was right

Please those places are not as hot as Naija abeg. There hottest temp DURING SUMMER is equivalent to our cool days.

Haha I though we had settled this? Can I share with you.. fan control wiring of one of such cars?

makavele:
ICE (internal combustion engines) are designed to run hot and not cold . . at a particular temperature

some cars around 90 degrees celcius; some 95, some 85;; depending on the make (company)

so what happens when you start your car.

the temperature is at ambient temperature (normal) say 36 therabouts or 37 depending on the weather that day.

once the engine comes on andis working, it starts to get hot cos of the combustion process ..

and the guage starts to rise ..

if you car has not been tampered with, in about 2 minutes the guages gets tot he middle.

the engine gets hotter until it reaches its defined temperature limit, say 90 degrees . .

the ECU can see the temperature because there is a coolant temperature sensor fixed into the engine. .

At this point the thermostat valve will open and allow water in the radiator to flow into the engine.

The water is pushed throughout the engine by the water pump ; it has fins/blades that rotate and push water.

the cold water against the hot engine will make the temperature drop from say 90 to 89, 88, 87, 86 and so

when it gets to say 85 degrees, the thermostat will close.

At this point the ECU will send a command to the fans to spin .. (if the car is stationary or slow) . . the fans on the radiator will spin

and remove the heat from the hot water which came out fo the engine . . that's the job of the radiator + fans.

so by now the water is cold again . . the radiator fan turns off

the car keeps moving, temperature keeps rising . when it gets to 90 degress again

thermostat opens, allow cold water to enter engine to cool it down.

the water pump distributes it round the engine and out into the radiator.

the fans on the radiator come on again and cools down the water, thermostat closes again

and this process is repeated until God's kingdom comes

Bro your thermostat was never the problem, in the process of rebuilding ur Engine the problem got solved however your Engine is slowly dieing as no thermostat is working there..Your thermostat is a part that requires changing at least each 100k miles

I got one bro plus i have personal and 1st hand knowledge of this .I did mine in my car!

Thermostat is like electronic appliance, while some consume 110v, some consumes 220v.

Thermostat from country like Finland, Germany, Iceland, Canada etc emit more heat because of their region.

A car made by Innoson by all standard must have Thermostat but will not emit equivalent heat to your engine like those countries mentioned so your car will run all smoothly by the absence of the thermostat but may gulp a little more fuel at start pending the engine is warm.

We will all mock Innoson on this forum if he had built a car with no thermostat.

The thing is a 2 way thing about car, maintenance culture and the engine age.

I expect someone to understand this piece.

I've been smiling at a lot of people's ignorance here but that guy just made me realise I have an horrifying look reading his epistle. If you don't know the working principle of thermostat, Shebi you go read comments and learn. Which one be electronic appliance, 110v and 220v, emit equivalent heat to engine again? :oHaba.... Fear God oooo.

Pls what could be the cause of my car overheating. I have changes the top gasket but it still over heats.

GetUmad:
for him to have used the word "emit" in the same sentence with a thermostat, he's not qualified to sell an ordinary side mirror.

GetUmad:

Lol. Person dey sell casket nor mean say em be guru for death ☠ and death matters.

obekediamondfuto:


please u r the reason our cars in Nigeria can't operate with those thermostat from Finland, the one with 110v.

its either u stick to what u know and become an electrician/ rewire or u travel to Sweden and hussle....

PS I need a 220watts 110v thermostat for my murano, the one there is not emitting enough heat and I need heat please. the German one oh please not the Russian imitation.

can u help me out?

obekediamondfuto:


ermmmm opoki can help u install the one thermostat from Arizona that emits low heat!

radiator, hoses, pressure and pressure cap, water pump, etc

start troubleshooting those first. u cannot go wrong except u either don't know the operating temp of the car or the Mech did a sack job changing the top gasket. start with those few to isolate which components are still working!

and please note...... I didn't say change, I said troubleshoot, if u ain't a diy guy, I'd say take ur Car to a pro!

Hmmmm, I'll get back to this later, currently working on a project
