I drive a 2007 Corolla CE and use it for Uber/Bolt hustle in Abuja. I try to service my car regularly and only concentrate on Airport trips as I discovered that doing town work stresses my car alot.

I discovered that during hot seasons like now when the temperature is usually very high, my car makes noise when it's pressured to move, especially when changing gear or climbing a slope. I was concerned about this, as it has happened like this last year and now this year. It reduced as if it wasn't even there during the rainy season.
Now, a technician/Mechanic friend said it's happens because the engine gets too hot, so he connected my fan directly by using a copper wire to bridge the socket. So right now my fan comes on and remains steady when I turn on the ignition.

Plz is this a good thing to do, though I planned disconnecting once we get back to rainy season.

the sounds it makes, is it from inside the engine of outside the engine?? If it's from the engine what sounds does it make, is the sound like eg as if ur knoking of as if ur trying to sharpen a blade?? Be specific of the sound. And this ur electrician connecting ur fan directly will only end up killing ur battery.. and check ur engine oil if it's too light when the engine is cold. If it is, change to a thicker one due to the change in climate.

You know the sound this small generator (I pass my neighbor ) the one you mix oil and fuel together...the sound it makes when the oil is not enough.
He said its due to the oil gets too hot and thereby looses viscosity.
I drove the car today and didn't notice the sound... But am not comfortable with the setup. Just want my default setup back but without this noise. I use Total Quartz 5000

There are 2 places that sound can generate from, it's either from ur metals or from ur cups, and what causes this sound is when ur engine is low on oil or the oil is too light.

I actually changed my oil last week and have driven just 1300km with it.
