Beware of kazeems. Never bypass your car's thermostat.

Was your car overheating prior to this time?

9icetoo:

You've used the car for 3 years in factory state without issues, why do you now want to create issues.
Change the radiator to whatever cell you want. It's duty is just to take heat away.
Retain the fan and thermostat setup the way it is. Ensure you use the recommended coolant instead of water.

At the mention of this name every car must bow and every engine must confess that Gazzuz is the auto maestro.

Das how star do

lanre2009:
is it advisable to redirect the fan to always be on once the ignition is switched on??

lanre2009:
good morning guys. pls i have an issue with my 2006 honda accord. the radiator is a single cell. It got cracked due to someones carelessness. I am being adviced to install a double cell type and direct the fan to always be on anytime i switch on the ignition. Is this advisable? Or should i just install a signal cell type and leave the fan the way it is.?

I also noticed that fuel consumption has increased on the car, pls what could be responsible for this?

Structuralman:


Firstly install a double cell radiator because your car was not built for the Nigerian weather.
Secondly note that your car has two fans. One fan must always be working when the car is switched on. It is also important to know that the very fan should blow inwards towards your engine and not outwards. If it blows outwards, call a rewire to reverse the direction. The second fan should come on and also blow inwards to support the first fan only when the AC is turned on.
I hope this helps.

I changed my radiator from single to double cell and removed the thermostat. It's been 5 years without any issue.
Obviously, you need to change the damaged radiator.

sayhi2bammy:
Bro...I had the same issue when i was travelling a day like that....I switched from single cell to double cell, since then my temperature has never risen to the one fourth level of the thermometer. I suspect those that designed the car forgot there is a place called Nigeria ,they would have fractured us in

All the people saying don't change design of the car, are big men na...

If you have used 1988- 1995 model of cars, you wouldn't be saying such.

Bros, get the double cell and drive your car in peace.

I don drive Car whe I no see the part for market... Na me still allow them constrct the part for me.

kokomaster3d:


Dont be deceived, every car is design to run efficiently at a particular temperature. Its funny some people will see 80⁰ or 90⁰ and they will think, their vehicle is overheating, they didnt know thats the temperature their engines need to run efficiently.

uboma:



Wrong move!

Restore the thermostat. You and your kazeems cannot be wiser than the manufacturer who built your car

jidemoh:
I'll advice you to get a new double cell radiator as a matter of urgency.

Your car was not designed for tropical weather which is why the fans sometimes don't roll immediately even when the aircon is on. A broken radiator will only cause engine overheat which isn't good for engine lifespan.

My 2005 Honda dealt with me cos i was managing a radiator until i bought a new one.

Could be.
Didn't want to go through the stress of thermostat failure in the future.

Bro.... I'm not a mechanic... and know little about cars... maybe less than you... but let's shut the experts and reason for a bit. The people who designed the car installed one cell radiator (I never knew they had one cell and two cell). They chose one cell instead of two cell... don't you think they had a reason?... Do you think they are foolish to have thermostat installed when they should've just run the fan direct?... don't you think they have a reason? You know the problem is the radiator... it got damaged... don't you think if it is replaced by a new similar one the car would operate as good as it was or more likely better? Replace the radiator as 9icetoo simply said ... replace the hoses at the same time....and...... use the correct coolant.... yes coolant... yes it is expensive..... and yes but water is free... the makers know that too... coolant...use coolant.

All cars from 1996 are designed by standard of manufacturing to work in any condition so please spare me that scrap. As for the OP please don't mind those Kareem the mechanic. I will only suggest you get a new radiator it's not that expensive at most 15k, I got it to mine 3years ago and it's still serving great. If you don't have a leaking radiator your car will work perfect the way it's designed to work don't redirect the condition of the fan for optimal performance and durability of your engine. Ignore Kareem I repeat, ignore them
