A damaged thermostat can't cause coolant loss of that scale.. the radiator is damaged

You gatz trace where the water is going first.
Might be outside leaks or inside leaks.

Your thermostat is not your problem.

Look for source of the leak.
It could be radiator, hose, connection between hose and engine, hose and radiator, thermostat housing etc.

But it's not your thermostat.

May not be true, he just has a leak that he needs to find.

Changing the radiator is just throwing parts and may not resolve it.

It’s people like you that misuse car and give the term *nigeria used* as no-go area.

Understand the use of a component first before taking actions. If you do you’ll know that thermostat is needed in a car; be it Nigeria or overseas.

A leak that dries out in two weeks with no obvious signs is a damaged radiator.
The bottom seals are leaking and only shows face during operation.. when radiator is pressurized.
He will drive with no issues until coolant level is way down.. then overheating slowly creeps in

If I was a Mod, I would've long banned that guy's ar$e from this section. Only God knows the number of car owners his numerous "advice" has put in trouble. Guy is ignorant but feels he knows a lot.

If it takes up to two weeks for the radiator to dry, it means the leak is from the radiator and it's small as well.

The water only leaks when the radiator is in use and under pressure.

Change your radiator and enjoy your car.

If you remove your thermostat, your fuel consumption will increase.

This type of leak can only be detected when the cooling system is under pressure. You need to check all the water hoses throughout the engine bay, plus the radiator.

Why a thermostat is needed in the US but not in Nigeria? Can you explain.... I want to learn something new today.

@ topic. your radiator runs dry in two weeks. What do you pour in your radiator.... coolant or water? That's the first thing need to be considered. If it is water then the problem is not about leakage.... it's evaporation and you cannot solve that if you continue to use water. If it is coolant... then there is some kind of leakage. It may be the radiator... it can be damaged or old hoses.... it can be the hose clamps got loose... you need to check and find out first instead of jumping to conclusion. I suggest you take it to a certified mechanic.
