February 8, 2017 at 4:41 pm, No comments

The main function of the thermostat is fast car warm in cold conditions and protection of the motor from overheating. On failure of the thermostat can be found by looking at the instrument panel. Coolant Temperature Sensor arrow will go into the forbidden red sector and in the winter the car interior is unusually long time to warm up.

 

If the arrow in the forbidden sector you are dealing with the closing of the temp control switch, when the coolant is forced to circulate in a small circle. Engine overheating of the bulk of the heat remains in the engine. In the second case, you see the opposite picture. Due to the constantly closed thermostat contrary lacks warmth and therefore you face fuel consumption. A faulty thermostat will have to be removed, but only after it has been drained coolant.

To do this, you should be armed with a caliper and measure the distance between points in the cooled and heated state. The difference in measurements is usually not less than 7 mm. Wait until the thermostat to cool down, and check that the valve is fully closed. If you find that the thermostat is faulty, do not attempt to repair it, and go to the nearest store and buy new parts.

 

If the store will not appear thermostat for your car, you should know that you can do without it. Take a piece of thin plastic, cut a circle out of it and do it in a few holes, and then put it simple device to place the thermostat. As a result of the circulation of a large circle, and will be difficult to resume the supply of warm water in the cabin heating system, as well as to ensure that the engine operating temperature.
