Hello Everyone,
I am a Sound Engineer by profession and have zero experience in automotive repair. However, I would like to learn about it and develop it as a hobby. I just brought my dad's Maruti 800 Uniq 2009 model to Bangalore as he wasn't driving it anymore. It has done 15000kms in 10 years which means it has been sparsely driven. Because of which there are lot of problems with the car. Before getting the car I had it serviced, which means the engine work has been done. I think something might have happened during transportation and noticed that the engine was overheating after 3-4 kms of driving. Upon opening the bonnet I found that the coolant was boiling and had spilled everywhere. Then I found that radiator fan wasn't running. I looked up for for possible causes and found that the coolant thermostat is the most common reason. So after going through a couple of videos I removed the radiator and found that there was no such part in my car. The video I watched might have been for an older model. So, I was hoping that someone here would be able to guide me on resolving this issue.
Thank You in advance.
