Or the thermostat was fine until the head gasket sealer glued it shut. Maybe that back hose let loose before and the air was not purged from the system properly causing overheating.

@moonbeam361 4 жыл бұрын

That's a well known way to revive a thermostat. Guess you're a millenial and you don't know how things were done in the old days. Of course, this is a temporary fix. He should assess the rest of the car and decide whether to keep or junk it, and if its to be kept then replace the thermostat along with whatever else is needed. And evaluating the car will require driving for a week or two or maybe longer, so the drilled holes keep the engine safe in this time - notice no overheating after holes were drilled - recognise the importance of that observation.

Until recently we used to build cars down under until our Gov neutered us to be more dependent on foreign supplies by closing it all down. Some of the Aussie made and designed cars sold in the USA were the 2004-06 Pontiac GTO, 2008-09 G8 (and related Chevrolet Caprice PPV), and 2014-17 Chevrolet SS! Aussies like to make big V8 muscle cars that brake and handle very well. Cheers.

Ask a legit mechanic to show you the internal mess it can cause.

That's when I learned any fix in the can is a gimmick to get something "working" so you can pawn the problem off on someone else.

@@Moose1207 👍👍I had a Pontiac Bonneville GXP with a Cadillac Northstar. (Famous for overheating) I used a stop- leak product that looked like glitter, worked really good. Then, eventually the thermostat froze up, it would get really hot, then I would stop driving it, cool it off, add water ,repeat. Someone suggested I just remove the thermostat, which I did. The engine thrived on it. Think you only use the stop- leak once or twice, after that it really gums up the works. If you remove the thermostat, the check engine light will come on. So I needed to replace it to get a smog, that's when my problems began again!

Wow Sam! I am blown away with this I just found these videos today, I wonder if you gave the vehicle away already. I found the videos from the first one and watched them in series. I am blown away with how cheaply you repaired this blown head gasket. I wish I knew this when I blew my head gasket recently, I was left vehicle-less due to a blown head gasket. I really am inspired by you haha. Good Job! This is amazing.

Sam, the sensor on the thermostat is just a 2 prong so it's just heat sent OUT to a temp gauge. If it was a 3 or 4 wire then 1 or 2 wires would return to the computer module which might make it open/close.

Thanks for showing us the diagnostic twists and turns. Liked your can-do attitude in getting to the bottom of the problem. There are a lot of unfair comments posted here that reflect the poster’s inattention and bias. Sam wasn’t trying to do a rebuild that some seemed to expect. They totally missed Sam’s intention - which was to figure out what was the problem and make economic decisions to get it going and drive it as a serviceable beast of burden until it dies. For example - drilling through the thermostat wasn’t a fix, it was done as diagnosis. Didn’t you hear what he said? In the end he found a replacement for between 60-70. In the end I think he did a pretty good job of it and we got to see the trials and tribulations of taking on the challenge and even learnt a thing or two along the way. Thanks Sam. I’ve subscribed.

Just like most BMW thermostats, it is a generally mechanical thermostat where it opens and closes due to heat. However, it is also has a heating element inside of it that the computer can use to open it prematurely for whatever reason it may see fit.
