Base on several advice on which car to go for with the level of my budget, my car landed in Nigeria in December, on the 1st of January this year was my first day to cruise it around Abuja city ( thanks to God and to the advicers on NL)

Now, the people am trying to avoid by visiting their shop often (mechanic) has started with bring your car to our shop, any mechanic that see my car say is very clean and the engine is just like new BUT HAVE YOU REMOVE THE THERMOSTATS! The first person, the second person and now the third person, I am so worried and skeptical in listening to advice of them touching the car, not even on the engine.

My office mechanic advice I should leave it since am not using it for commercial.

Please, the expert and the experienced pals online, what did you do to your own or what will you advice.

Thanks.

I am sure u know the the truth cos this topic has been over flogged several times .
Removing your thermostat is similar a doctor removing a vital organ from a healthy patient that is not sick .na just to watch him die a slow death.

Remove your thermostat and see the death of your engine

You bought a new phone, a phone repairer says "wow this your phone is cool, bring it lets remove the charging port".

Termostart is d temperature regulatory unit in ur system, removing it gives ur engine cancer of the bone marrow.

Thanks bosses for your indirect advice, well, their points of removing it is that the weather temperature abroad is far far cooler than Naija own, and the thermostat delay the fan from starting up on time, this I noticed, the fan of my car may not start rolling for long period, and they (mechanic) said it may cause overheating over period of time.

Chai! No one is congratulating me for starting the New Year with a New Ride ...

I live in Abuja. My car engine has been using thermostat for the past 3 years and i have never replaced it and i dont plan to do so. I have an OBD scanner and you can come for 24/7 free scanning anyday anytime. Congratulations

sorry bro, Congrats, don't remove thermostats ooo, it will kill ur engine.

Tell your mechanics to manufacture their own cars and remove thermostat since they know better than those who manufactured your car.
Congrats
But don't remove the charging port of any phone

Congratulations on your new car. Don't do anything except service the engine & check vital things in your own interest.

Do they remove thermostats in the UAE? Or their own cars don't have thermostats? Temperatures in the middle east gets up to 48deg and no place in Nigeria gets that hot. Some parts of the United States are even hotter than Nigeria in summer times.
Electric irons have thermostats and have you thought about removing it.
Cars go through several tests before they leave the factories and Nigerian mechanics are not smarter....
If you like subject your car to such surgery and may God help you.
I have driven several cars and none of them have their thermostats removed and they have served faithfully.

Why are Nigerian mechanics so ignorant like this.....

So places like Florida, Arizona, Texas, which are all in the USA experience winter abi

The dudes there remove their thermostats abi??

In fact I'm sick and tired of this issue.....
