Your car is meant to run on auto fan, even if its hot or cold it should run on auto fan + thermostat. 365 days a year.

2 things will happen if you convert radiatpr fan to direct
1)radiator fan motor life will be reduced due to running all the time
2)radiator fan will run to just produce noise when coolant will be in engine and radiator

Can anyone tell me if xado revitalizant is any good saving an engine's compression...

[mustafa.masood.5011]

I think it will help everyone's cause...I've seen YouTube videos suggesting it does as does it's reputation

lost compression is not a simple problem to attack.

e.g. leaking valves will lower compression and no liquid can help you. OTOH if your compression rings are clogged from running cheap engine oil and bad fuel you can choose a powerful solvent to break that sludge to free up the rings and "hope" the system rebuilds itself (usually theres a very slim chance) - If your engine was run cold the cylinders would be worn down.

firstly determine what is leaking then get to work.

This is the float needle valve, when someone asks for needle in a motorcycle slide type carb - they are asking about the needle that is in te "slide pin"

what rust?

the brake disc looks perfectly ok - so does the control arm, It seems that you didnt drive the car.

If you are concerned about the tiny specs of surface rust then rest easy, it doesnt affect anything
