actually i have the thermostat completely removed without replacement now. after reading a few articles, i think I will buy a new thermostat and install it back soon. huhu
Why did you have your's removed? My mechanic had mine removed and I was puzzled why the car's temp remained on the cool side. In the end, I gave him a earful and had him fit a new one in.

that time i dont have knowledge about thermostat. so, just listen to what mechanic said. so, next service, will buy 1 and get it fitted. Is it standard thermostat for wira/satria right, doesnt matter 1.3, 1.5 or 1.6? I wana ask here first before consult the car sparepart shop, at least I go buy the thermostat with some knowledge. Mine is 1.6

the con of running without one is your car will take longer to warm up...
My previous 3rd car was running without one, not to say longer to warm up, but actually hard to warm up and if rain really cold......lol
