Will the reason for this is i was running hot and changed the thermostat and i was still running hot so me and my toke out and now i dont have one in but now I'm not running hot no more but is it good to run it like that on a 03 wrx
Are you saying you took the thermostat out? If so that's not good, the thermostat is needed to get the engine up to, and to keep it at operating temperature. If the thermostat was functioning properly, then what you need to do is figure out why it's running hot, and fix that problem.
Yes that's what i was saying ,now it's running good it's crazy
It will take the engine much longer to get up to temperature (especially in the cold) without a thermostat. As long as it isn't up to temp it's wearing on the engine, causing damage.. so I wouldn't exactly say it's running good.
Ok thank u I'm glad u r tilling me this
If the thermostat is working correctly, then I'd make sure the coolant is topped off and burped. Often times air bubbles will get trapped in the system causing it to overheat.
Ok i will do that and get that fail safe thermostat thanks for your input
