dood. it works. when the radiator in my civic was failing, it cooled down the motor. same thing worked in my dad's '85 benz. turning on your heater also drops engine temps alot
Well I know its an old school trick and occasionally works but I also noticed that when I had this problem on my Civic turning the heat on did nothing for the car since for some reason Honda has some switch that turns any heat flow off and won't allow the heater to dissipate it.
In other cars I have owned (domestics) it works but in Hondas I don't think it works the same at all.
This was why I made the comment.
