kokanepyramid:

Did I talk about temperature sensor or valve? my basis of what I’m asking you to read is that claiming the Nigeria ambient temperature is what makes engine over heat is false and you are misinforming people. My two cars don’t overheat and I drive them in Nigeria and Lagos traffic in particular one for 5 years and the other for almost 3 years and the thermostat is intact. Do I need to add that I’m an aggressive driver that’s how we lovers of BMW roll.

I was replying someone else and you mentioned that particular reply
Then you should know the origin of an argument before you comment on peoples replies

kokanepyramid:

Just have a read

Oga I'm not reading. You go and read about thermostat valve. Know the difference between thermostat valve and temperature sensor.

onegig:


Please stop talking about things like an uneducated person.

A thermostat reads the temperature of the Engine bay and determines if it should increase the RPM of the engine to quikly heat the engine to optimal level during cold starts. Also reads the temperature of the engine when warm and helps maintain optimal engine temperature. Most max engine levels are 195°C.. once the system detects temperature above such levels it kicks in and tries to cool down the engine

Not to have a thermostat is like a blind man who also has no sense of touch or feel. Your car can't ascertain when the engine is warm or cold and just works continuously. This is highly inefficient and can lead to engine wear and tear.

A working thermostat isn't the cause of your engine overheating.

I wouldnt have bothered to read all your jargon cos you started by insulting yourself.
So a thermostat valve reads the temperature of an engine and sends instruction to increase rpm? That same Google that is advising you, go and read it very well and correct your self. Mr educated. Thermostat valve reads temperature and send electric signals to the brainbox to increase the Engine rpm? Really? All I can say is that you can get ideas from Google but you can't get knowledge.

Must every thing be a competition between. Nigerians and breed enemity? Vote for who you love and shut up. You call other people noise makers because of their choice? Does it sound wise to you. Vote for whoever and promote that person. It doesn't mean people ing pere or others are stupid or noise makers. It's their choice

goluwatobi:
Sorry if what I said Earlier hurts u.. I'm just joking and never took it so seriously...

I'm not in anyway being proud here.
Neither am I trying to boast about anything. In reality, I'm not a proud person.

So sorry once again.

No probs bro. Blessings and peace.

goluwatobi:
See as u dey disgrace your self for public.
Why are You are just so aggressive.

Life no hard like this... You just come here dey swear for yourself.

I no force you to come buy motor oga.
Me I'm not your problem.

You say I no get money na. Make people wey mo get money hide their face abi? So for your mind you get money. Ehen if you are so sure, say amen. You no fit say amen. You dey dribble yourself. Many of you in this forum are so full of yourselves. Nigerian used rx350 4.5 million? I dey ask you How much is toks? You dey talk say you get money. One man's dreams and life achievements is nothing to another. Be wise. all your money na change for another person side. No dey proud, no dey make mouth.

It's only an unwise person that will believe these kind of ponzi. So called social media influences are fools always pushing people to be scammed. Very soon advertising a fraud will attract jail time.

HellVictorinho:



I have sent several emails

Where you discouraged me was when you said[b] I should tell you how much I sent immediately after sending. Its important[/b] I was wondering, is it that you don't get alert or many other monies are coming in that you can't differentiate.

When you have a flat Tyre then you’ll have to uninstall tyres and drive your car on just rims since a flat tire can make bandits kidnap you.

Vehicles that use fan belts run on a principle called viscous, google it my BMW uses this principle, the fan speed varies with temperature.

An engine’s optimum temperature is between 85 to 105 degrees Celsius, naija ambient temperature is less than 40 degrees. From your understanding a 40 degree environment is heating up an engine designed to operate at over 85 degrees.

All this talk about naija being hot like it’s the hottest place in the world, Texas is hotter than Naija on average not to mention the Middle East.

If a thermostat gets stuck you change it, bying is not the solution you are only treating the symptoms and transferring problems to other parts of the engine. For starters your engine idle speed will go up, higher fuel consumption, engine runs below designed temperature, fuel won’t burn well causing carbon deposits, with time engine starts smoking. It’s like cooking with wet firewood.

No vex Hold your thermostat make I hold my engine.
Both my vehicles. One has no thermostat and and has its fan byed.
The other has thermostat and fan controlled by the radiator temperature sensor.
Guess what Both cars are running perfectly fine Ac chilling and zero worries. when a car has suffered burnt Gasket twice, you should know it impacts the engine. Especially aluminium engines.

kokanepyramid:

It is wrong, thermostat doesn’t take its reading from the environment rather from the engine and acts accordingly.

of cos, but does the environment not contributes to the temperature of the engine? Does thermostat get stuck? If it can take 10 mins for a Gasket to get burnt when a car is in full power, do we always glance at our temp guages every 2 minutes? In my original post I talked about the fan starting upon turning the ignition nothing about the thermostat. *Although if you ask me I would advise you remove it) more peace of mind.
Many engines have their fan belt driven. So those designs of engines are nonsense?
Listen, it might not be the ideal thing to do but it's a very good idea, especially in Nigeria where overheating can make bandits kidnap someone

tirex:


This is wrong, i repeat, this is wrong. Leave your fan on the factory default and trace the source of the overheating instead. Radiator/Fan/coolant hoses/water can etc

It's not wrong. If Nigeria and Africa do researches to produce their own cars. Our designs will be based on our needs.

Cyroskijah:
Yes sir

The jerking is much observed when switched to reverse...

Maybe gearbox

When you press the brake down fully , the vibration isn't that serious abi. I have a question, is the behaviour when you shift from peak to reverse different from the behaviour when you shift from drive to reverse??

kokanepyramid:


Lol, you can’t tell me about cars. Overheating is not a death sentence it happens everywhere. Something failed and instead of fixing it you are advising OP to by. Which will damage the engine long term

Wow really? Your comprehensive skills are commendable. Who am I to tell you about cars, wetin I know? Everybody dey drop opinion ni. No vex

mrphysics:

Bro, it depends on the engine.

Like I guess and for mine, Toyota Camry 2012-2014 have Aluminium engine not the steel ones. So the major problem is the overheating. Solve it and have peace. I drove a Toyota Corolla and it never gave me any engine issue at all. Only the normal shock, stabilizer leakage, etc issue.

Bros leave am, somebone that has never experienced over heating will be advising someone that has experienced it.

Bakerdav:
pls follow this advise ,this person advise is right

It is well with you bro

kokanepyramid:

Making your fan work as soon as you start the car means you are bying the thermostat and it is a bad idea

No vex. I disagree, it's not an ideal idea but then it's not a bad idea. It might not be the best idea but it's more than a good idea.

Blackbishop:


Don’t ever take this advice just my one kobo advice sha

Give me a call sha

No vex

kokanepyramid:

All these yarns are hogwash your Kazeem tells you.
I’ve owned a BMW 325XI for 5 years and a Honda Accord for 3 years I’ve never byed anything in my cooling system. I change my oil once a year( I use synthetic oil) and my cars are still delivering. Never had a breakdown other than that related to a weak battery. My cars have never slept in mechanic workshop for whatever reasons and I use them in Lagos traffic and travel interstate sometimes.

No vex

frowland:


Water pump is the cause and you guys should stop this sordid method of bying the radiator fan as a solution to cooling.

for an engine that has burnt Gasket twice, its not a bad solution. Except she wants to buy toks engine.

kokanepyramid:

If you value thermostat in the tropics more than you value your engine, no wahala.

nosiebaba:
You fixed overheating without tracing or addressing what caused the overheating in the first place.
I think your radiator is bad, or the fans are not working , or the water pump is bad.
If its the radiator, change the radiator, maybe the cells are blocked or its expired.
For the radiator fan, tell the electrician you want the fans to be working as soon as you turn the ignition on.
For the water pump, ita unlikely that's the cause.but they should check it

Di this and thank me later.

I don talk my own. Let me make a statement and you direct at me personally insultive words. Then you will know that what one can do, the other can do much better.
