Re: is it bad not to have a thermostat
 

if you did it because your car was overheating, then you should find out the real problem. ok temporarily, depending on the climate you live in.
if you forgot, then just put it back in. not hard to do.

ya i dont over heat anymore im just to lazy to put it back in thats why i was wonderin

Re: is it bad not to have a thermostat
 

It's not bad, just your car is never getting up to temp on short drives. That's what's bad. I did it for a few week as I diagnosed Overheating issues. just 20min of driving in mid 20deg Celsius weather to get up to temp.

It take 15 minutes. If you want your car to warm up and have a heater its the corret choice if not for all means enjoy frezein unless you live In california where it hasnt gotten colder than 70 yet durin the day

Ha ha... I drove from SC to OH in February w/o a thermostat... I couldn't feel my toes by the time I got there. :8

Re: is it bad not to have a thermostat
 

you guys really should consider putting one in when you can. ive seen where oil sludges up from not ever running at a decent temp , but antother thign to tihink about is with out a thermostat it can sometimes worse'n the oveheating problem because there is no restriction in the system and then coolent doesnt stay in the raidator long enough to get cool. it just loops around real fast.

i have a 92 civic hatch and i think my thermostat is stuck open... my car never really warms up unless im driving for a long time....but it doesnt mess anything up.....(so far) it's been like this since i got it 7,000 miles ago....plus my heat still works fine whenever i need it....so i dont know just another opinion....

Re: is it bad not to have a thermostat
 

it could be stuck open, but its unlikely. in the last couple years or so they started making thermostats that stick open to prevent over heating problems. they cost more so thats why i say it is unlikely that your car has one of those in it, but its easy to check
