My golf 3 i just got reads above 100 degrees,it reads around 110 bf fan kicks in and the goes back to 100 degrees ,but i noticed ,ones i get into traffic the temperature goes higher than 110 degrees.
My mechanic advised i remove the thermostat but i refused ,instead i asked him to run the fan direct.
Do you think it ok that way ? with the thermostat still intact in the engine?
Can you advise pls
thank you





Your thermostat's working just fine. The optimum operating temperature is between 86 - 100 degrees celsius. With the gauge in the middle, it's reading approximately 90 degrees celsius, which is normal.

Do NOT allow your "mechanic" to remove the thermostat!! If he does, your engine will over-cool. So it may read close to normal when stuck in slow-moving traffic, however on the highway at constant speeds, the needle will drop to the cold zone. This is dangerous for your engine. Besides the higher than normal fuel consumption, cold oil does not provide adequate lubrication when below 80 degrees.

Cold oil will form sludge, which is a condition whereby condensation mixes with your oil, and dilutes it. Add the excessive fuel a cold engine won't burn, and you have a lethal cocktail in your oil pan. Why do you think oil pump failure is rife in Nigeria? Gear damage. Typically, an engine requires 100 psi of oil pressure for every 1,000 rpm. So at 6,000 rpm, 600 psi of oil pressure is required. If your oil pressure drops at high rpm, the first point of failure occurs furthest from the oil pump - the cylinder head. Camshaft/s will seize, and the timing belt will get torn off. If chain-driven, the effects are even worse, the chain may break, or the sprockets will shear teeth.

Worse case scenario, your crank journals and conrod bearings will get starved of oil, resulting in engine knock, in some cases the knock is severe enough to throw a rod through the engine block.

Remove your thermostat at your own peril.

First of we have to understand the true meaning of Christian.
The word Christian means a Christ like person, a person that has the character and meekness of JESUS Christ of Nazareth..
Now heaven was created by the Father (jehovah)of Jesus Christ..
Everything in heaven revolves around JESUS, so it's only those that are Christ like that will make heaven..
so you cannot be worshiping other gods and shouting Allah and expect to be where JESUS rule...

so yes it is only Christian that follows the law of JESUS, i mean it is only the good and faithful Christian that will make heaven.
