The car's thermostat controls the temperature of the engine. While driving, it is important that the engine does not get too hot or too cold. When the engine is too cold, the engine oil also stays cold. As a result, the texture of the engine oil will be too viscous to properly lubricate the car parts. If the parts are not lubricated properly, this will lead to wear. When the engine gets too hot, it causes the parts to overheat, causing the metal around the engine to expand. If the metal expands, it can make lubrication impossible at all. The engine oil can no longer reach the engine. The thermostat is therefore used in all vehicles with coolant to prevent the engine from getting too hot or too cold.
Thermostat car broken
The car's thermostat works with a valve. This valve opens and closes constantly to regulate the temperature. Because the valve is constantly moving while driving, it will wear out or break over time. In this case, the valve will no longer open or close properly. A broken or exhausted thermostat can be recognized by an overheated engine or a warning light in the dashboard. An overheated engine can occur if the thermostat valve remains closed. The coolant can no longer reach the engine. If the thermostat is left open because it is broken or exhausted, too much coolant will be pumped to the engine. A cold or overcooled engine is not running efficiently. This is reflected in remarkably high fuel consumption. Also, the heater in the car will no longer heat properly.
Replace car thermostat
A broken or exhausted thermostat must be replaced in time to prevent damage to other car parts. Does your car show the above symptoms? Then check whether the car's thermostat is still working properly. Replacing a thermostat is a relatively easy job and takes about 2-3 hours of your time.
