Expert Advice Urgently Needed From The Auto Guru!!! by blunt2dcore(m): 3:35pm On Jan 08, 2021 |
My 2004 model toyota rav4 is overheating, but according to my auto-mechanic, he said my engine is weak and due for change. The engine has worked for about 4years, but from my observation no blue /black smoke emissions coming out from the exhaust. There is no sign of leakage from the radiator, so he advised the thermostat should be removed and the AC to be always switched on , but the overheating issues still persists after driving a lomg distance. In the light of this, i need advice from the gurus on temporary measures to fix this issues at least get the engine running for some months b4 i can hussle cash for an engine change. cc GAZZUZ,GAZZUZ, Sienna, kingrein, nurey,... |

blunt2dcore: Cooling system ok No leak noticed of coolant No internal leak or external leak. Diagnosis because fan was run direct, it stopped working due to burnt out relay reworked by rewire. If fan stop working engine go overheat you can't escape it. If fan is blowing in wrong direction, engine too would overheat. If radiator is blocked free flow of coolant is inhibited so overheating occurs. These are things you should check yourself very easy. The fan fuse could even cut and the solution to your issue could just be you buying 100naira fuse and fix. If you don't learn more about your car, mechanic go chop u left rewire go chop you right, panelbeater go chop u up and gurus go chop u down ![]() 8 Likes 1 Share |

nurey: Thanks for your response. Rewire has not done anything like that, but thermostat removed and he advised AC should always be on to keep d fan running. However, I will tell them to check the cooling system critically first. |

blunt2dcore: When you deviate from the norm, it's abnormal. Using AC so fan can always blow is abnormal fix whatever issue you experience if the available hands are overpowered look for better qualified technician 2 Likes |

with the cooling or radiator fan motors is the vehicle overheating. The cooling fans are thermostatic and are designed to come on once a certain temperature is reached, or certain conditions are met. Download iMessage for PC |
