Unless you are living inland (or Tassie), you are lucky if the temps get any lower than 5 degrees. Even Melbourne is not really that cold in comparison.

So have you tried it with your car Kimo?

I just took off the coolent hose that goes to the TB, and blocked it from inside with a screw nail and put it back, so it looks like before.

No I didn't get any photo, will it's so simple, just take off the hose and block it from inside and return it again back to TB, so when you go to the dealer they wouldn't know.

would it affect the coolant cycle when that hose is blocked? the hose connected to the TB, i assume that the coolant would travel to the TB and where does the coolant go from the TB?
