Making your fan work as soon as you start the car means you are bypassing the thermostat and it is a bad idea

Good evening everyone.
Please I bought my car about a month now. (Toks)
As I was bringing it in, I didn’t know the car was overheating and it burnt my gasket. I fixed it in agony.
Now just today, after parking it for 9 days I called the mechanic who told me I had to change the 4 coils, plugs and do a fresh servicing. I did all this and even bought two new gallons of coolant. Dear people, do you know that after an hour of all this, I tried to test drive , just along the way I noticed the car was over heating then I Tried to look for a little safe place And park. I opened my engine bay and noticed that gasket is burnt again! All my money down the drain! The stress, the agony, the everything. I’m so so sad! Trying really to be strong. Please people, what can I do? Now the car won’t start and I had to pay a towing van to tow it. Sorry about my grammar. My heart is just too heavy. Thanks. Any opinion is welcome.

You fixed overheating without tracing or addressing what caused the overheating in the first place.
I think your radiator is bad, or the fans are not working , or the water pump is bad.
If its the radiator, change the radiator, maybe the cells are blocked or its expired.
For the radiator fan, tell the electrician you want the fans to be working as soon as you turn the ignition on.
For the water pump, ita unlikely that's the cause.but they should check it

All these yarns are hogwash your Kazeem tells you.
I’ve owned a BMW 325XI for 5 years and a Honda Accord for 3 years I’ve never bypassed anything in my cooling system. I change my oil once a year( I use synthetic oil) and my cars are still delivering. Never had a breakdown other than that related to a weak battery. My cars have never slept in mechanic workshop for whatever reasons and I use them in Lagos traffic and travel interstate sometimes.

A problematic car is worse than trekking..in fact, at some point you will get to start envying those trekking...

Let's just hope you haven't used your money to buy "village people".. if you have, I assure you that a short time from now, you will trek with a heavy heart when the car has demolished your bank account

Hi Mskrisx,

Always call or visit mechanics that scans your car first before repairs or visit car scanner guys, it will definitely help.

The way I work on my car is this, I invite a car scanner to scan my ride anytime I notice anything abnormal. Immediately the problem codes are pulled out, I collect all the codes, make research and watch YouTube videos on how to fix the problems.

Then I will invite a mechanic and direct him on what I want him to do. I'm always willing to pay the mechanics well but must follow my instructions while working because I have done my research very well.

I drive around with less stress and I scan my car like 2 times in a month. I tried getting a scanner to be scanning it myself but Jumia delivered rubbish scanner that takes forever to connect to my car. I will make out chance visit the market and get a good scanner for myself to reduce cost of inviting the car scanner.

Always know the cause of the problem before working on your car. Don't allow mechanics to suggest or guess.

Finally, collect and keep safe every part a mechanic removed from your car. Make sure you collect the coils he replaced and keep it safe.

Hi good morning. It is Toyota Camry 08.
Thanks for writing back.

mrphysics:

Bro, it depends on the engine.

Like I guess and for mine, Toyota Camry 2012-2014 have Aluminium engine not the steel ones. So the major problem is the overheating. Solve it and have peace. I drove a Toyota Corolla and it never gave me any engine issue at all. Only the normal shock, stabilizer leakage, etc issue.

No be lie Bro had same issues with my Lexus ES300 I l later sold it

Good evening. Please I read all you wrote. This Mechanic seems incompetent. Can you recommend anyone to me as I am currently in Lagos. Thank you Sir.

Oche211:
Just sell the car and have peace of mind

Lance7621:


Well said. Op follow this advice and in addition, please buy a 2 cell radiator & remove the thermostat if it is still present. It will make the cooling system better. Since I bought this, get fans working at ignition start and change the water pump, I have add a good experience. I have a good mechanic I can recommend for you to fix your car

kokanepyramid:

What I’m saying is bypassing and making the fans work 24/7 will have effect on several components of the car, like plugs, emission system, fuel consumption and lifespan and performance of the engine.

Overheating can be caused by bad radiator(leaking or blocked), bad thermostat (stuck in closed position) or fans not working. Gasket is not the cause of overheating, overheating only affects gasket. Notice the difference. Changing gasket doesn’t solve the problem. The OP only changed gasket reason the problem resurfaced.

If you have a collision due to brake failure that damaged your head lamps for example does replacing the headlights alone stop reoccurrence? You’ll need to fix the brake issues to stop reoccurrence that’s my point.
