I BOLD your statement above. My fan is start spinning even the engine not start. When I turn the key to ACC position, not started yet, the Fan is already start. Is that a problem??
I have service my radiator before, 1 month ago actually because this problem, but it still occurs. Also replaced radiator cap.
I filled up the reservoir tank before hari raya, until today it just half empty.
How exactly the procedure to check the thermostat? I am not clear enough..Big hose here you mean that directly connected to the radiator right? just take it out? so the water will flow outside??
So If flow fast, it means not good thermostat? is it?

if after drive when the engine is hot, you turn OFF, then put back at ACC it will continue spinning coz it detect the engine still hot.I have service my radiator before, 1 month ago actually because this problem, but it still occurs. Also replaced radiator cap.

when your engine is cold, ie. in the morning, the fan also will spin when put at ACC? if spin means the wiring is direct connect to ACC, not follow radiator temp sensor. will make your fan die faster.
yup, the big hose that connect directly to your radiator. the top hose is water that flow back to your radiator. yup water will flow outside so you can see water gushing out like pipe water or small drip. just remember to feed water from your radiator top with house pipe water coz we want water to continue flowing inside your engine.

If flow fast doesn't mean the thermostat is not good. With a good thermostat, u should be able to see an interval of the water flow start flowing faster and slower. Meaning the thermostat got open and close as it should be.
You can DIY replacement the thermostat with proper socket wrench. A new gasket will be needed to be replaced together with the thermostat. I reckon u to buy back the original thermostat as all those cheap replacement thermostat wont last long, normally 1 or 2 years will dead.
new thermostat got rubber fitted together with it, doesn't need additional gasket, at least that's how for my 4G92 lar.You can DIY replacement the thermostat with proper socket wrench.
