This part basically controls the temperature of your engine. It does this by regulating how much coolant flows to the radiator. When the engine is cold, it restricts coolant flow so the engine warms up quickly. Once it reaches the right temperature, it opens up and lets the coolant circulate freely to keep things from overheating. The clamp secures the housing, and the O – ring creates a good seal to prevent leaks. Think of it as your engine’s temperature regulator. It sits between the engine and the radiator and is a key part of the whole cooling system. The coolant travels from the engine to the thermostat, and depending on the temperature, the thermostat either lets it flow to the radiator to cool down, or bypasses it to let the engine warm up faster. It’s a pretty simple concept, but really vital. If this thing fails, you’re going to have problems. If it gets stuck closed, your engine will overheat really quickly – that can cause some serious damage, like a blown head gasket or even a cracked engine block. If it gets stuck open, your engine will run too cool, which can also cause issues, like poor fuel economy and increased wear. You’ll notice if it's failing usually – often with a temperature gauge reading higher or lower than normal, or sometimes even a loss of heat inside the car. You can find these kits pretty easily, places like Fixparts Online carry a good selection. Replacing it isn’t usually too difficult, but it’s definitely something you want to take care of promptly.
