Thought you had another thread going about this. No matter, IF your climate is always warm to hot as ****, bypass the rad.
In climes where we drive on our lakes in winter, the rad helps keep the trans warm.
sorry man the old looks complicated for my language ,
well i installed it and was worry to bypass , maybe i can keep it in summer is that ok ? and in winter will check it it's keep warm or cold what you think ?
If you get cold in the winter you should not bypass. Larry is right about the winter, unless you stay hot all year it's better to leave it.
i'm focus in this summer cuz its too much here the hot weather , in summer i can check what i have to do , but at least we have 5 months so hot weather

Had a feeling you wern't in North America. No offense.
I would say if it doesn't get to 0*C or 32*F leave the rad bypassed.

Mr.? Please
Can't do much better than stock. If it has a little hole, it goes up. In your conditions you need to make sure the radiator is clean, may need a coolant flush. 50/50% coolant. Check the water pump, have seen pics where the impellor is rotted away. Check that the lower hose isn't real spongy/soft, it will collapse and restrict flow. Make sure the fan clutch and electric fan both work correctly.
If your funds allow, if you don't know how old the parts are replace.
