  • Siezed Cooling System

    So i live here i the Philippines which is so damn hot of a country. And i think my vehicles cooling system is siezed, but im not sure.

    Car Running in Normal condition without AC
    Temperature Guage: 10-20%

    Car Running with AC after 15-20mins
    Temperature Guage: 40-50%

    I am bothered if something might happen if i go beyond the 60-70% mark.

    Help/Advise needed

    Can i remove the thermostat and use it that way?

    it wouldn't hurt to back flush the system.

    I just read your other post after this one​ and didn't realize you have an Aspire. Hence the edit.

    If you have a cooling issue, removing the t-stat will only delay the issue, not solve it.

      Does the fan work? Sounds like that will probably be the problem. Possibly sensor or fan motor itself.

        Probably need a new radiator. Steady temp without AC , problem probably not a blown head gasket. But first try a new thermostat and new radiator cap, cheap enough.

          Try bypassing the heater core. Lots of times they get gunked up or rusted and clog the system. If that works, you can then rig up the disconnected heater core for reverse flushing, but only use distilled water if you do that as tap water will rust out your cooling system over time. Look up some youtube vids on this method, just don't use tap water!!

          I'd try in this order:
          Check fan functions (free)
          Thermostat and radiator cap (because cheap)
          Bypass heater core (cheap)

          Willing to bet it's one of those.
