QUOTE(imperialrealcs @ Oct 3 2007, 07:32 PM) really? wow, i thought it will run no matter the engine is cooled or hot..   QUOTE(GKWong @ Oct 3 2007, 08:45 PM) Running without thermostat, u are safe with the risk of thermastat spoil and wont open. When this happens, coolant cant flow and engine will overheat to the max then the radiator hose can blow and water spill out. sifoo has spoken... Without thermostat, the engine will warm up slower and the temp will cant be able to always stay at certain range. If u drive at normal speed the temp might stay low, but if u drive at high speed for long time the temp will raise higher and then very hard to go down. This is because the coolant does not have enough time to cool down at the radiator before going back into the engine water jacket. Actually for better fuel efficiency and better performance, the thermostat will not open when cold so coolant will not flow. This will makes the engine warm up faster hence save fuel at cold start. And the thermostat is important to hold the temp at certain range. Normally our thermostat here is rated at 82degree for it to open.  |

For me...the sound is actually water dripping from the aircond hose or somethin onto a part of the engine. No idea why it creates such a loud noise. Found out when my radiator pipe bocor...when adding water, heard tak tak sound and found the leak It turn out to be the radiator fan making the tak tak tak sound... Whats wrong with it ah?

If u always got filled up your radiotor at certain period, then u will notice the water inside radiator is lesser than normal if there is leakage.Btw,how i check whether its leaking? Normally those leakage u cant see it drop to floor because it vapourised when drop out near engine. If can see radiator water drop down to floor then means it is quite big leakage. Then normal water dripping to floor everytime is from aircon drain pipe. |
