Car TalkRe: Thermostat by miccodb(m): 12:26pm On Oct 31, 2012
@ikenna and siena,
get my point right. im not pro removal of thermostat. ofcourse the OP need not remove his thermostat, he has no problem so y create a problem. my argument is removing your thermostat ere in nigeria doesnt pose the threat sienna claims about running cold and slugdge. afterall the engine was overheating already so removal all thermostat just brings the temp to normal running temp or thereabt. removing the thermostat is equivalent to replacing a fusing with wire s when u already know the resistive value of the fuse n wire. most importantly is an informed decision and knowung possible undesriable cosequences. and possible i said cos it doesnt always happen that way in practical. ive had my thermostat both on and off so i know what im saying.
@ikenna all overheating issues are not airlock issues. sometimes the cooling system gets a little inefficient and correcting this may requiring changing a few components when a simple thermostat removal will suffice.

all im saying is before you remove your thermostat if u really have to then be informed. simple.
Mr ikenna ive done alot of automobile engineering not to sound boastful like u but im far far from a novice. and i also believe whoever takes the option of a thermostat removal must have exhausted other option including airlock removal. the cooling system is much more complicated than water, radiator, thermostat and airlocks.

Car TalkRe: Need Help!1995 Mazda 626 Jerks And Consume Fuel by miccodb(m): 9:22pm On Oct 21, 2012
This your explanation is too brief for anyone to assist you. You need to have established a particular pattern or behaviour of d car. Give history, modifications n other. When did all this problems start n how. Fuel consumption is most like associated with airfloe mater(MAF) and catalyst converter amongst many others like dirty Throttle body.
Car TalkRe: Thermostat by miccodb(m): 8:02pm On Oct 21, 2012
@ sienna, removing your thermostat doesn't make it run just above freezing point cos it aint possible in nigeria. Combustion temperatures alone will take it to abot 50 degrees before we start to talk about ambient temp. No doubt sienna ambient temp plays a lot n hence d original design of thermostat. I believe d original design of thermostats were for the actic regions where temperatures dip so low to even freeze d liquid hence thermostats would shut completely until the coolant around the cylinders reached optimum operating temperatures but wen reverse I'd the case the thermostatwould remain virtually open all d tym.
@ ikenna pls bring ur 505 to lagos leave VI by 5pm and head to egdeda or iyanapaja if ur engine doesn't overheat den we can have dis argument again. Traffic pass traffic n btw it isn't wen ‎​U̶̲̥̅̊ start running ur engine dat overheat start but idling for over 3hrs with aggressive driving and soaring temp oga ur 505 will overheat on AC. I've also tested thermostats in boiling water; the technology is quite simple but that's not the optimim technology obtaiable for all regions. People tweak cars for various reasons!
Car TalkRe: Thermostat by miccodb(m): 12:19pm On Oct 21, 2012
@siena n ikenna, all your points hold valid for as long as the weather conditions specified for the operation is fine. Demerits of removing thermostats cannot b overemphasized and you too can't agree less that weather conditions r drastically changing. Temperate regions r getting unbearably hotter and if ‎​U̶̲̥̅̊'ll agree this is being catered for more by more recent models of vehicles. Removing the thermostat from a 2010 avensis will definitely be as detrimental as ikenna and sienna explained but I can confidently tell ‎​U̶̲̥̅̊ otherwise for a 92 mazda. When these older cars were made temperature specifications hadnot soared and manufacturers didn't cater for temperate regions adequately. Manufactures of cars in 199e didn't envisage maiduguri would get this hot!!! What kind of temperature regulation can a mazda 92 on full load of both transmission and aircon offer to such temperature? Combustion alone causes a lot of heating hence requirement of cooling system. My brodas I've analysed this thermostat thing for years n researched it n my conclusion is let us know the exact car n model before ‎​U̶̲̥̅̊ try to remove thermostat and there must be an underlying symptom or issue that ‎​U̶̲̥̅̊ feel thermostat removal will resolve. These theories we all know attimes don't pan out exactly that way in practical. Removing your thermostats just means ‎​U̶̲̥̅̊ have said to your engine don't restrict the flow of cool water around my cylinder and that's if thers any cool water at all due to the climate and d cooling efficiency of the system. The theories by siena and ikenna hold perfectly for ideal cars and systems. After all we know d ideal gas equation isn't for all gases but only ideal gases n likewise siena's implications. This is my bit.

Car TalkRe: The Reliability Of Mazdas by miccodb(m): 12:52pm On Jun 24, 2012
Pls be guided. ALL cars manufactured are tested and certified according to some permissible standards. The only criteria for buying a car is age and condition. Make is inconsequential especially when bought brand new. I'm sure those castigating Mazda3 haven't used it; still reveling in the century old toyota\honda superiority.are ‎​U̶̲̥̅̊ unaware of the beamer and benz unrivalled superiority!? Why not go for dem? Cash ehn grin in a nut shell buy the condition not the make and from experience cars within the same age range use the same technology irrespective of the make.
