Freshly-started Cold engines have higher FC than nicely warmed up engines. Making it colder when its already cold is usually theory is helpless unless u experience it urself....bypassing the thermostat may be looks so SCARY to sum people...motor easily broke la...fuel consumption high la(in my own understanding fan doesnt need fuel to run..need electric power..but im not automotive student, what do i know)....but in my experience in myown kancil...i've been bypassing the thermostat for almost 6 years witout any problem at all..like i said before la..its my last resort....
that's why u have a thermostat. What you should do is to replace the old clogged hoses etc and see how it goes. If still near to redline, have it looked into. For my case the only time i went to near redline was when a plastic joint thingy cracked and caused a coolant leak (also the car was leaking coolant a bit).. replaced it with a metal one and kautim.
