gaano kataas ang temp gauge nyo?

**tracyjo** · February 23rd, 2004 07:47 PM

hello po! this is my first post and my question na agad ako

just want to ask gaano po ba kataas normally ang temperature gauge? yung sa kin po kc, usually hanggang half to barely over half. tska napansin ko lately, wala pang 5 min ang ride ko e parang ang bilis umakyat ng temp. normal po ba ito?

btw, my ride is corolla gli 94.

thanks in advance!

Yes, mabilis siya umakyat sa una kasi sarado pa ang thermostat. It's just a way to let the engine go up to operating them (where emissions and fuel economy are at their best) in the shortest time possible. After the desired temperature is reached, the thermostat automatically opens to let coolant flow.

normally dapat a little less than the half mark up to the half mark.

when was the last time that you changed/drained the coolant in your cooling system? baka naman sobrang tagal na at wala ng bisa ang cooling properties ng coolant.

half mark sakto...

sir otep, pardon my ignorance pero san po ba makikita ang thermostat?

nagpalagay ako ng coolant about 3 weeks ago. kaso hindi ko nakita pano ni-drain ng mechanic yung radiator

.

i've read something about lavramon in another thread. ok ba 'to? i'm thinking kc of reflushing the radiator to be sure na tama yung procedure na gagawin and to remove all the rust and dirt. how much does it cost? and do u know where exactly in E. rodriguez is the Mancor Caltex service station?

meron din po ba kayong ma-suggest na shops na magaling mag-check up ng cooling system? hindi ata kc expert dito yung mechanic ko e. i wanna make sure na rin na ok yung buong cooling system.

kalahati din eksakto.
tingin ko normal lang yan. 5 minutes to go through its optimal operating temperature. kung may problem yan, medyo tataas pa yan beyond the half gauge which you normally experience.

For a Corolla GLi the normal temp is slightly below 1/2... Pag umaandar na derederecho (highway) it can drop to around 1/3 due to the wind hitting the radiator/condenser.

The temp should gradually increase during cold start, the thermostat will bring the car to it's optimal temp very soon if you drive the car immediately after starting.

yng ride ko almost half ng temp gauge pero stick na sya dun khit pa nsa highway ako bumababa lng yun pagnahinto na sya ng matagal.

ok lng bang patakbuhin na yung car khit nde pa nya nararating yung right temp lalo na sa umaga? i wait 1-2 min pero dpa tumataas yng temp kya ride ko na sya, mya-mya ska lng nagiging almost half-way sa temp gauge.

many tnx,

butchokuy!

guys is the thermostat the metal sort-of-coil thing? is it safe to just remove that, someone mentioned before that it's better to remove it?!?

yung honda city ko parang 1/4 lang ata. minsan tumataas..pero hindi umaabot sa kalahati. yun naman carnival namin almost half..talaga bang mas mainit ang temperature pag diesel??
