hi guys,

i have just bought a thermostat for my 3.0 capri and its the wrong one, could i run it with no thermostat? would it cause any damage?

 

cheeRS in advance

everything is there for a reason. you can run without one the same way people can live without shoes...but we still wear them so Id use a themrostat

it just means that you will never be running your car at 'normal operating temperature' meaning it'll pretty much never get warm and will wear quicker i've run my XE like that for long time with no major probs (yet?) lol

 

Antz - i like your 'i know you should use it but dont know why' answer

my pinto didnt have a thermostat for over a year and was perfectly fine, only put one in so the temp guage would work
