An acquaintance has a 2005-07 Toyota corolla. As we all know these cars are beasts in the fuel economy department. However my friends has an ac problem. Apparently the thermostat no dey work. He went to a mechanic and the mechanic said it must be replaced with a new one. The connection of the old one was cut but it remained in place meanwhile the new one was connected near the old one but problem still persisted.

So now We went to another mechanic who advised us to just install a peugeut system that it will be best for the car. So I was wondering because with the way fuel subsidy maybe removed hope it won't lead to higher fuel consumption?

I'm interested in this

It will still consumed normal fuel as before, hope your engine is in good condition. Because Peugeot compressor are very strong especially 406 and 206

How is it possible to cut a vehicle part and install another thermostat on the side

yes

Since it overworks the engine is there any alternative you would suggest? Also what would be the price?

yarimo:
yes

If your engine is strong get 206 or 406 compressor, but if you know your engine is not that strong just get new Toyota Corolla compressor of that same model of yours . 206 or 406 compressor is cheaper than that of your Corolla. 206 or 406 are less than 30k while that of Corolla is beyond #30k . Notes... market price change

I will just advise my friend to get the toyota one to be safe.

Also will I have to change thermostat in your opinion?

it should remain where the old one is

Okay I have the full picture.

2. Change thermostat.
Understood.

Do you know anything about painting car to look shiny(same colour)?
What about tinting. I'm thinking about these 2 things for my own car because of the sun.
