Nissan Grand Livina Thermostat Malaysia
Thermostat failure is uncommon on Grand Livina but occurs at very high mileage. Stuck-open means engine runs cold (fuel consumption rises, heater doesn't warm up properly). Stuck-closed causes overheating — more serious risk. Temperature gauge reading unusually low after warm-up = thermostat suspect. Thermostat housing and gasket should be replaced together. Preventive replacement at 100,000+ km is worthwhile on older units if coolant is also being changed.

- Stuck open = never reaches operating temp, poor fuel economy and heater output
- Stuck closed = rapid overheating — do not drive, tow to workshop
- Use OEM Nissan thermostat — cheap units fail quickly in Malaysian climate
