Removing the thermostat shouldn't be done. It will affect faster engine warmup and fuel consumption. This part have always been there by nearly all manufacturers of normal aspirated cars for a long long time. They wouldn't install it if it served no purpose. Of course replace it if its not working properly, use proper coolant, ensure the electric fan is working optimally (sensor switch on at the right temp, off later ). Cooling system must be optimum at all times for modern engines, not even one component should fail. The moment you see the temp as abnormal, get a competent mechanic to check. Of course you can DIY easily with the right tools and knowledge. Lastly, electric fan can fail, replace immediately when defective. I used to have an ole 2 litre BMW with clutch type fan, replaced it once during its lifetime. It was erratic and unstable temp. Good luck!

again... it will barely affect fc actually.... since it will still warmup, but take abit longer... its the wear and tear which you should fear..... icon_rolleyes.gif

Will affect fc so much?

The fc used should be the least of your worries.... The wear n tear due to running a cold engine should be more painful...

Foreman used to be the term, not "pomen". Anyway, foreman isn't exactly right. Foreman is usually to describe a team or group leader.
I rather buy a new fan motor than any reconditioned one. Its not worth reconditioning when there's other reasons an aged or defective fan motor will not last longer anymore like worn bearings, coil insulation can lead to short or open circuit anytime. Just replace to new..its supposed to be that. smile.gif
