Check Radiator clogged? or water pump and/or radiator fan running optimum speed?

it was running cooler than it should..

i think it's bcoz fan running all d time.. plus my aircond is bypassed too..

it's impossible to get a mechanic to spend time on this..

they suggest to get new wiring.. easier for them to install.. but the cost

so, i guess i got to do it myself

The ECU wont allow the VVT to be trigger if the temp is too low...
One of my customer wired his SVT aircon fan to be on always, end up his engine temp always running at 1/10 scale. At the end, he has to "wait for temp raise to enjoy the power"

So please wire back your aircon wiring if you dont want to potong stim

Funny, because the thermostat should control the temperature?

yeah.. I was thinking d same thing..

maybe bcoz d thermostat have a lil hole n a loose plug in it.. around 2mm i think..

i asked d seller, what's that for? he said it's for air bubbles to go out..

that hole leaking xtra cool water inside my engine i think..

so, need to hotten d water a bit by setting d fan on auto on/off
