Thermostat Solution For Tropical by akanxpress: 4:24pm On Nov 27, 2012 |
Still in line with the debate on Thermostat and their desirability for Tropical climate. It has been observed that imported cars from the colder regions have overheat engines when used here and engineering experts have bitterly argued against removing the thermostat in a car. To reach an agreement point, is there a thermostat for use in cars in the tropical region that can be fixed. If available, where can one order it from? Siena & co, yr opinion would be highly welcomed |

As in what does the gauge read? |

akanxpress: What i mean is there thermostat specifically for tropical region vehicles The two main versions are 82 - 88 degrees, and 96 - 102 degrees. The thermostat fitted to cars used in Dubai and Texas (hotter than Nigeria) range between the 82 - 88 degree mark. The external temperature is NOT a deciding factor in what the thermostat value is. That is determined by the engine itself. |
