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...🤦🏻‍♀️

Can it also cause the temp gauge to go up and down randomly

I have 1999 rav 4 with 218000 miles. It has been running cold. It’s reading Only 1/4 up the temperature gauge when I’m driving. It is getting to half way point when it is idling in place. Heat doesn’t work that well either. What ya think? Thermostat? Maybe something else.

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

Can a new thermostat go bad. I had just put a new one in my 2012 jeep wrangler a week ago and a new radiator. Yesterday we drove 2 hours no problems. Well we was pickig up our son at work i left thee jeep on it spit out transmission fluid this morning took my wife to work and it overheated just smoked for maybe 10 seconds and stoppped. I didnt see any transmission fluid like last night or antifreeze. I grabbed the top hose it was warm i didnt check the thermostat hose but the radiator cap was not hot at all whish it had been before. Someone said might be the new thermostat just went bad what do you think about it? Great video and i subscribed

Hello, I suffer from a lack of water in the car, and there is no leaking hoses or radiators, does the thermostat do that in case it is damaged, as I notice a sudden drop in the temperature of the car and it did not rise from its normal position to 80C when Stuck Open Thermostat is to cause to lack of water , the weather is summer ??

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

Also make sure you put some Silicone Around thee outside of the thermostat to make sure it’s no leaks because that will cause it to overheat also

I replaced mines and it stop over heating but it never completely warms up to the middle and if it does my fans kick on. I think I might have air in the system??

I think I should use the same coolant after changing thermostat because the fluid look orange but clean and no Gunk

I have no overheating, hot air fans work as blows hot in the car and cold also. Temp gauges are spot on. Only thing with mine is that the hoses are different temperatures and thrown up a P0599 code thermostat circuit control high. Can't figure it out.

While the engine is warming up there should only be one hose that is hot. Once the engine warms up both hoses will be hot.

My 2015 Escalades fan was constantly on, AC not working well, engine light on and pulling that code. Replaced thermostat and cleared codes. 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? We will see.

I’m always running cold but I have really good heat coming through my Vince????

I have none of the details you said, the coolant reservoir is shooting it out. The car does not over heat, the heat and a/c work fine, the hoses are the same temperature and both are soft . The temperature gauge does fluctuate from a quarter to the half mark, never above that. Anything that pops to mind on what else it could be?

Truck is overheating quickly. Not blowing hot air. Not leaking. You think it's my thermo or my water pump?

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.

Mine was overheating and cooling when accelerating. Ended up being the thermostat

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.

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.

my temp gauge goes to the H but will cool down to half way just from sitting with it off for 3-5mins.. if i use cruise control it doesn’t overheat near as quick either.. my radiator fans aren’t working though

No, you just add coolant to replace coolant spilled into whatever you are catching it with. Use pressure valve to get air out, start car and turn on heater and relieve pressure till air is gone.

Idk what my Colorado 2015 has the temp gauge keeps going up and down and I have no heater inside the truck. It just started acting like that after I changed the radiator,thermostat,and water pump,and the temperature sensor. Idk what can be the problem

Why Is My Smoke Alarm Chirping? A hard-wired smoke detector usually chirps for one of three reasons: 1) A dead or low battery... ...your detector alerts you with a chirp that it’s running low. Replacing the battery solves the problem. 🤣

Question... What if car temp goes up at a idle, then goes back down only when car is in motion above 20 miles an hour... I was stuck in a car line picking up some stuff and my car temperature shop all the way up, then and as soon as I was able to get going again came back down to normal... Is that a thermostat issue or is that something totally different... And thank you for your time and doing this vid
