[QUOTE="Gerald 5, post: 343624, member: 10337"] I am having the same situation too after changing the thermostat. The car temp was all the while at the centre b4 this. The story goes like this, was travelling back to KL from Ipoh and the car was overheated. Stop the car at Sungkai, and noticed that the waterpump leaking. Added water and was lucky to be able to travel back to KL. Changed the water pump and the temp was slightly above the middle line and was not very comfortable about it. Mech advise to change thermostat and I did, the thermostat rating was 71. After that, the temp always stay at 1/4 mark and to be frank, I didn't notice any lost of power nor increase in fuel comp. I am no sifu, so I would like also to find out if this has got any negative impact on the engine and it performance? Many thanks. [/QUOTE]
