That and Melbourne...But Tassie will float away soon anyways :faq:

Thermostat hadn't even crossed my mind. I am just happy that the damn thing doesn't overheat.

gonna be 105*f here tomorrow

That's 40.5 for us Aussies...DAMN hot

with the thermostat thing, my car will on a cold morning, around 10* or so, drive for 15 minutes and wont see operating temps,

but if its like 15 or 20, will warm up in just a few minutes and sit right where it should be for however long I'm driving. which is why i don't think the thermostat is stuck, but its weird it doesnt warm up when it real cold :ninja:

Yes, the hotter the thermostat, the hotter the water has to get for it to open, so if u get a really cold one, the water will only heat to that colder temp before the thermostat opens

hrmm, just get the standard one, which opens at 85* or whatever. theyre fairly standard across toyotas.

there is no reason to run your car hotter than what toyota designed it to

2 months ago I took a long drive up north 1 hour north west of newcastle. took 3 hours to get there in my sera, with the heater pumping of course. I got there, and there was ice covering my bonnet, after driving for 3 hours. I was mighty impressed. She always starts first go though.

 

Now the heater on the charade doesn't work, which I might look into the thermostat thingo :thumbsup:

If its a 3 cylinder Charade i'd understand.
