Thermostat thread

[Archerfish]

there is only one temp gauge. yesterday after we got back from punta fuego the engine area was really warm. "radiant heat" this is the warmth im referring to.

the radiant heat was very bad. when we were idling at fronte grabe the engine area you can feel it talaga. when the mech removed the thermostat housing the coolant was steaming. sabi nga ng mech, its looks new! medyo engot lng sya, all thermostats look new in a sealed system(santa fe). then this evening the engine was warm but not as warm. drove from marikina-bgc-marikina for a client meet.

the santa fe has two cooling fans. one for the radiator and one for the condenser. these two were enough to keep the temperature in check but the radiant heat was bad as well as the fc and the AC performance.



FOCUS

I see that you were referring to the radiant heat which I became confused. How about the coolant lost, can you explain how that happened?

I've read this thing but coolant lost wasn't mentioned:
