A6012000015 Mercedes-Benz Passenger Thermostat

Basically, the thermostat controls the flow of coolant through your engine. Coolant, as you probably know, keeps things from overheating. The thermostat doesn’t just constantly let coolant flow though – it regulates it. When the engine is cold, it stays closed, allowing the engine to warm up quickly. Once it reaches operating temperature, the thermostat opens, letting coolant circulate and keep things stable. It's a pretty simple concept, but vitally important. Think of it as the engine’s temperature regulator. It’s positioned between the engine and the radiator. The radiator is where that heat gets dumped, so the thermostat manages when coolant is allowed to go there. It’s a little valve that responds to engine temperature. It tells the cooling system when to kick into high gear. If the thermostat fails, it usually fails in one of two ways. Either it gets stuck closed, or it gets stuck open. If it's stuck closed, the engine will overheat quickly – that’s a big deal and can cause serious damage. If it’s stuck open, the engine will run cold and you’ll notice if that happens, things won't run efficiently, you’ll get poor gas mileage and the heater might not work well. It’s a relatively inexpensive part to replace, and a good preventative measure. You can find a replacement pretty easily, Fixparts Online carries a lot of different ones, and honestly, it's a lot cheaper than dealing with an overheated engine. It’s something that acts like a shield for a lot of other expensive components. Convenience at its best: Thermostat (MPN A6012000015) includes a 12-month warranty!
