What are the effects of removing a car thermostat?
1 Answers
The effects of removing a car thermostat are as follows: 1. Accelerated engine wear: Removing the car thermostat prevents the system from sensing temperature during cold starts, leading to cold engine starts and accelerated engine wear; 2. Increased fuel consumption: Cold engine starts reduce fuel efficiency, resulting in higher fuel consumption; 3. Engine overheating: Without proper coolant circulation, the system cannot send sufficient water to the radiator even when reaching the baseline temperature, causing engine overheating. Additional information: The main functions of a thermostat are: 1. Small circulation at low temperatures to quickly warm up the engine and shorten warm-up time; 2. Large circulation at high temperatures to rapidly dissipate heat, using cooler coolant circulation for overall vehicle cooling.
