    Thank you for this video!! You just explained to me what the mechanic couldn't, wouldn't even give me the time of the day. And clearly what he said was wrong anyway.
    My engine light came on, and this is the code I got. The mechanic said that my engine will overheat. I told them that the gauge seems fine, it's not high or low. I asked questions and they seemed bothered by it. They told me to replace the thermostat, the coolant and the sensor just in case, quoted me a big amount. From your video, I have 3 symptoms of stuck open thermostat, not closed as they said. At least I know what is happening. And I'll def have to find a different mechanic...🤦🏻‍♀️

    quite frankly the easiest explanation i have found on entire internet easy to understand thank you!!!! my engine is not getting warm ( max 50 degrees celcius) collant level all good top hose is hot bottom is cold. while driving along journey i stop at a mechanic because of leakage.. but he said he disconnected a hose so i can continue my way long journey back home... now i have no heating in car ( only cold air)..... and cold engine no matted how the distance i drive...... Would it be also the EGR thermostat valve?? i dont have EBD reader but i have the engine signal ON and i morning startup usually have white smoke and also when i accelerate.... what you reckon @easyautofix? thank you in advance to you and other who read me!

    Heat doesn’t work that well either.

I was also having an issue with towing where i was towing a 3k lb trailer and when i got to my location the engine wouldn't start again and is blowing the towing fuses. not sure if they are linked but maybe engine was getting way too hot because of the thermostat?

    What if my temperature gauge was reading 260 degrees the whole time but was never overheating but I replaced the coolant temperature switch and the wires and grounds are good, I just broke the thermostat housing snugging it onto my manifold, could it be from running open headers for about a week? It never once overheated on me but still always reads 260 degrees unless it’s a cold start, but I never see it in the middle of the gauge.

  • @jesusdied4oursins814

    It’s a different season of thermostat some are higher temperature thermostat than the other one you might have for the summer you want to run a lower temperature thermostat and in the winter you want
    To run a higher temperature thermostat
    Summer it needs to be lower because it’s reaches the thermostat temperature faster so it keeps it cool but if your using a high temperature thermostat in the summer it’s gonna overheat
    It will say the temperature on thermostat or inside the open hole just look for it

      No people love their car working which is what they thought would happen when they took their car to your shop to get their thermostat replaced, either you charged it for it, knowing it wasn’t that or your a shit mechanic who half asses his job and worries about the problems later. No need to p o s human, just let them know they wasted money and it wasn’t the thermostat but if they’d like you could still replace it 😁 then everyone happy, because if they still wanna be dumb they have the option, but punishing people who made a simple miss judgement is wrong, you already know they do shit like that because of mechanics, you think people really wanna buy the part then wait for it to show up then take it to the shop… obviously not unless your modifying your car but most people are just trying to get it to run optimally

    I have symptoms for the open thermostat except for lack of heat. My cel did just come on today and I got the p0128 code. 🤔

    What would/could be the cause of an LT1 over heating when parking?
    The car starts overheating fast when I'm slowly manuvering (Few feet forward, few feet back etc) into a parking space
    Car is fine at all other times
    Water pump, thermostat, and coolant are all about 1 year old
    I bled the system
    Fuses and box LOOKED ok
    Just put on a new ac delco rad cap
    Unplugged the WP to test the fans and the drivers side works but NOT the passenger side
    Neither the AC or the heat hasn't worked for over a year btw

    I had my water pump replaced other day after my belt ripped apart. Since then I'm getting warm air and only hot air whilst I'm driving for 15mins. When I off the engine and come back 5 10min later the air is warm again. One hose is hot and other isn but takes ages. What do I do, what is the issue. Toyota carrol

    Can you have both problems with a bad thermostat? My engine this morning took unusually long to warm up and reach normal operating temps and then after it warmed up it ended up overheating...

      Same issue here, could be the thermostat, lmk how it goes with tours

      Could be a bad water pump too. No circulation means it won't flow through a good or bad thermostat. You will also have a really hot hose vs a cooler hose.

    I drove on a very steep hill and my car (quite old 2003) feels a bit hot at the dashboard side. (i didn't turn on heater or air conditioning) the temperature gauge is normal. Is there any possibility where a thermostat is faulty but the temperature gauge shows normal? I didn't get any check engine light on but I did feel a noticeably hot air coming from the dashboard side and my feet.
