Very Weird Camry. by eRex(m): 2:16pm On Dec 25, 2018 |
So I have this Camry 2000 droplight. In serious hectic traffic jam, temperature falls below 1/4 marker. On top speed, fast moving free flowing traffic, temperature rises to almost half marker. Even with AC on. Temperature has never exceeded the half marker though. But.... I need explanation as I am confused. Both fans works well |

eRex: Both fan works well as-in runs continously, irrespective of temperature? Do the cooling fans ever go off? Thermostat dey the motor? Was the radiator changed to double cell? NB: I dey area.. Christmas Cc GAZZUZZ MotorGuru 1 Like |

GAZZUZZ: I just inspected both fans.... Although their oscillation isn't same but they both pull in air from the radiator i.e when I put a piece of paper on both front side of the radiator(each side representing each fan), it sticks. |

asamwababy: Ok will investigate that. |

eRex: no thermostat, fans are direct, radiator is blocked. Replace radiator. 1 Like |

eRex: Hello sir, It is most likely that your thermostat has been removed ( I will not say stuck open, because this is Nigeria ) Most likely your fan has been wired to start running immediately the ignition is switched on The test you did is a good indication that the airflow is correct ( paper sticking when placed front of radiator). As long as you have never experienced overheating , you are safe( in the short run). The only concern is that your engine will take a much longer time to reach operating temperature( hence closed loop). This will in the long run accelerate engine wear . Your best bet? Confirm is your thermostat is in place, ensure your radiator is not blocked or leaking, and rewire your cooling fans to factory specs. Motorguru |
