Good day boss, I gave the car to a new mech to service last week and that was when I started noticing the change I wanna ask is there a way I can check if the thermostat is bad. I suspect the mech might have changed my thermostat as my car over heats after about 10 mins of driving furthermore the guage never gets to the red zone cos as soon as the guage is almost passing the 3/4 level it miraculously drops to the middle again.

I suspect my thermostat may have been swapped.

SmartchoicesNG:
Just like that? No concern about the causes except for the fans and radiator change?
No mention of a failed or failing thermostat... Or water pump defects.... A leaky cooling system... Be comprehensive next time oga Kazeem.

1. The thermostat left the building a long time ago....

2. What gazzuzz can see sitting down SmartchoicesNG cannot see at the top of Burj Khalifa.

Start looking for another job.

The best move would have been to leave the office and return later as if you just got there, instead you were looking for evidence up and down .

Good luck!

MightyThor:
By "manual" I assume you mean you by-passed the thermostat and connected the fan directly. Therefore your fan is always on.

Well you must have your reasons sha for doing that, but it does not make it right. if your car is overheating or your A/C is not cool enough you could have searched for the source of the problem and solved it rather than this direct connection thing.

The direct connection put extra strain on the battery and since your battery is "follow come" (Wet Cell type) and it has endured for two years, I think you may need to buy a new battery. (Our normal sealed type)

Still have an experienced electrician check to ensure your relays or a bridged wiring is not draining the battery.

Rupect:
I have this Lexus Rx300, recently I took it to a mechanic village at trade fair Lagos and I told the mechanic to change engine fan from automatic to manual which he did and afterward I notice that my car battery visca power runs down after packing the car for like 3 days without driving.

Unlike before I can pack it for like a week without driving and it still starts after a week packed.

Please what could be the possible cause of this. Is it that the changes I made in the fan or is the car battery getting week? Should I change it or charge it?

Please I need your urgent reply. The car battery is 2years now it a follow come battery with the car.

If there is a good mechanic around Ojo Alaba, Volks or Okoko side of Lagos that can be of help can pm me please.
