Why do some United Alpha engines show overheating symptoms due to thermostat malfunction?

Some owners report temperature fluctuations o r overheating, which can be linked to the thermostat getting stuck closed. When this happens, coolant cannot circulate properly.
This raises questions like:

Is the factory-installed thermostat of lower quality o r prone to early failure?

Does dusty o r hot Pakistani weather accelerate thermostat wear?

How soon in kilometers do these overheating symptoms begin to appear?

Overheating in the United Alpha is often linked to a thermostat stuck in the closed position, which prevents coolant from circulating properly through the radiator.

Factory-installed thermostats in some Alpha units may be of lower quality, and combined with high ambient temperatures and dusty roads in Pakistan, they may fail earlier than expected.

Symptoms include engine temperature gauge rising quickly, overheating warning lights, o r the engine boiling in severe cases.

Typically, thermostat issues can appear after 30,000–50,000 km, depending on driving conditions and maintenance.

Conclusion: Regular coolant checks and timely thermostat replacement are key to preventing overheating.
