To ensure that you get the correct thermostat, it is best to check the size and shape of the one currently installed so you can compare with the listed parts. Some important information for selecting the correct thermostat is the housing type, climate zone e.g. some thermostats are more suited to extreme weather conditions, fitment position and date limitation of the unit. As car manufacturers regularly update certain peripherals and design of their models, some thermostats will only be suitable for particular models of certain years.

Question 3

Helpful Tips

Accepted Answer

Car thermostat problems happen unexpectedly. Usually, you'll start to notice that your car begins to overheat soon after you fire up the engine or the temperature gauge on your dashboard remains below its normal temperature point. A failed thermostat will prevent the engine from operating within its ideal temperature range and affect its performance. For example: A thermostat stuck open will cause a continuous flow of coolant, resulting in a lower operating temperature. Since the oil operates below temperature, the condition accelerates parts' wear, reducing engine efficiency and increasing emissions over time. On the other hand, a thermostat stuck in the closed position will prevent coolant flow and cause the temperature to steadily rise. If you fail to notice and keep your engine running, in a matter of minutes your engine will overheat. In the event of an overheating engine, we urge to have the issue inspected by a professional mechanic to reduce the risk of fatal damage to your engine.
