Mskrisx: The solution to your problem is simple. A friend of mine had exact problem after one idiot Mech finished him. I gave him my Mech who discovered the thermostat was faulty. Thermostat was changed and that was the end. Yours might be something else tho. Which part of Lagos are you? |

kokanepyramid:of cos, but does the environment not contributes to the temperature of the engine? Does thermostat get stuck? If it can take 10 mins for a Gasket to get burnt when a car is in full power, do we always glance at our temp guages every 2 minutes? In my original post I talked about the fan starting upon turning the ignition nothing about the thermostat. *Although if you ask me I would advise you remove it) more peace of mind. Many engines have their fan belt driven. So those designs of engines are nonsense? Listen, it might not be the ideal thing to do but it's a very good idea, especially in Nigeria where overheating can make bandits kidnap someone |

nosiebaba:When you have a flat Tyre then you’ll have to uninstall tyres and drive your car on just rims since a flat tire can make bandits kidnap you. Vehicles that use fan belts run on a principle called viscous, google it my BMW uses this principle, the fan speed varies with temperature. An engine’s optimum temperature is between 85 to 105 degrees Celsius, naija ambient temperature is less than 40 degrees. From your understanding a 40 degree environment is heating up an engine designed to operate at over 85 degrees. All this talk about naija being hot like it’s the hottest place in the world, Texas is hotter than Naija on average not to mention the Middle East. If a thermostat gets stuck you change it, bypassing is not the solution you are only treating the symptoms and transferring problems to other parts of the engine. For starters your engine idle speed will go up, higher fuel consumption, engine runs below designed temperature, fuel won’t burn well causing carbon deposits, with time engine starts smoking. It’s like cooking with wet firewood. 4 Likes |

Mskrisx: You were sold a really bad product. It is not a good idea to buy a car here in Nigeria. Unless you know the seller has a good history of selling good cars. If you must buy a car in Nigeria, I would recommend going with a good mechanic (you know and trust very well) to check the car before you pay a dime! Another thing is that you must avoid handing your car over to clueless mechanics, they can worsen a car's problem as they've already done to yours. Always stay put and monitor the repair of your car. A crooked mechanic can steal stuff from your car or purchase substandard parts if you aren't physically monitoring. What you have to do now is either to meet a competent mechanic to fix it or you sell it. Good luck. |

kokanepyramid:No vex Hold your thermostat make I hold my engine. Both my vehicles. One has no thermostat and and has its fan bypassed. The other has thermostat and fan controlled by the radiator temperature sensor. Guess what Both cars are running perfectly fine Ac chilling and zero worries. when a car has suffered burnt Gasket twice, you should know it impacts the engine. Especially aluminium engines. |

Engaging thread. Many good advice and a lot of crappy ones. Many people here are even worse than the mechanics they are condemning because they should know better, being educated, one, and having been on nairaland with the opportunity to learn, two. How can a mechanic go to change gasket, change coils, plugs, and servicing first in an overheating car? Thumbs up to those that asked him to change the mechanic, thumbs up to those that referred him to a trusted hand. Those asking him to sell the car should GTHO. The poster refused to state the car brand as if he has an agreement clause with the manufacturer, lol. Or is it that you don't want your enemies to know your new car is faulty. 2 Likes |

Isn't that devilish? So it can kill the new owner!!! Sorry if this comes off as being hash, a lot of us know next to nothing about cars, just wanna be behind the wheels and feel fly. A friend of mine would drive his car everyday without checking water or oil.... Until it begins to give sign he will now call a mechanic. To help solve your problem, I'll tell you one thing and that's most mechanic in this country are just like the government of the country, would never do good for the masses and when they even try to do it, they do it half... So you have to find a trusted mechanic with good referrals who is also specialized in your car brand. Then be ready to spend. Your car will be good to go. What brand is the car ? H2ho: |

I have read through most the comments here, but nobody mentioned a particular issue that might still be the cause of the overheating. Am writing from experience. I bought this toyota sienna 2007 model (toks) that overheated to the extend that I changed the engine. Long and short story. The caused of the overheating was as a result of expired and blocked catalyst from the exhaust... Which nobody would everly think of... But that fixed my car overheating issue... 2 Likes |

I am sure it was a Ford, those cars are thrash compared to a Toyota . Anyway, no on can e-diagnose any car without a scan code. The problem with your car is easy, buy the fact that you said the head gasket got burnt in the first place means it will be difficult for you to understand what your gages mean in the first place. Just take the car to a recommended mechanics and let them explain what the problem is first before they go on. The guy that fixed the head gasket in the first place should have test driven the car to know if he still has a heating issue |

Mskrisx: Most of these radiators are single cell and made for yankee weather. Our climate here is hotter and the first thing to do when a car comes in should be to change the radiator to double cell. Just to be on the safe side. Look into this too |
