Cold whedda contree ting

why yuh say that dave

[turbo_beast369]

Engines without a thermostat in very cold countries would take forever to heat up. One of the functions of a thermostat on a cold start up is to block the flow of coolant to the radiator so it just circulates within the block until it reaches a certain temperature then the thermostat would spring open and allow it to circulate through the radiator.

I do not suggest flushing a radiator with a thermostat installed.

If you want to make sure and get most if not all the coolant/water out of the system then locate the coolant drain plug on the head/block and let all come out then refill. Also remove the coolant lines that run to the heater core in the dashboard and flush with a hose.

[mety57]

so since we r in a hot country therefore we can leave it out

[ZeroOne]

My CS worked fine without a thermostat for years.

I believe having a thermostat for us will give the car more control over the temperature, especially on mornings when engine is cold.

[The Bamboo Online]

For us it gets the engine up to operating temps quicker.... When that happens the ECU comes out of fuel rich warm up process faster so u save on gas. After that we don't really need it.

In freezing weather that thermostat system is not going to work. Thank god man invented anti-freeze cause the water that's left to cool off in the radiator is going to freeze solid and explode the radiator before the thermostat opens to cool the coolant that was circulating in the engine.

[turbo_beast369]

first thing to check is the travel distance on the slave cylinder when you engage the pedal
if that's good then maybe your release bearing or pressure plate has damage

[redeyez]

Well I checked the line from the reservoir back to the slave cylinder it was dry however what I noticed there was leak from the clutch release cylinder. Also quick question is there something that suppose to connect the cluch release cylinder and the release fork? If so I believe that is missing and that is the cause of the problem but I need someone to come take a look at it because the car is unable to drive in the state its in.

[BrotherHood]

I need an AC compressor please anyone. Need it like yesterday. ASAP!!

I am getting a heavy rattling noise from the compressor. Mechanic check it and confirmed it's coming from the compressor.

[wagonrunner]

compressor or coil?
compressors in foreign used yards. coils from most A/C service centers.

[ZeroOne]

^^check an AC tech before changing compressor, it may be repairable

Had that same problem.
Nothing it missing lol.
Your release bearing gone thru.
You can bleed the clutch and pressure back the line to drive it from home to the mechanic. But expect along the way to lose pressure and the clutch goes dead.
Best case get it in second and crawl. Hard luck if you bounce up traffic.

Try sourcing the release bearing.
W2J has the oem for the cheapest price. Oh and save yourself the stress and go oem. No matter how attractive the non oem looks.

[BrotherHood]

Ok. Well tomorrow for that. Can I go to King Cool?

[BrotherHood]

Ah man now tell me bout $2000 for a compressor. Used!
Is so much for dem ting?
