FAQ

Q: Could a damaged thermostat affect engine performance?
A: Yes, a broken thermostat could cause the engine to overheat and lead to engine damage.

Q: Could a damaged or missing thermostat affect fuel economy?
A: Yes, every engine is designed to run at a specified temperature. An engine that runs cold (without a thermostat) may use 10-20 percent more fuel and will not run properly.

Q: Is there a way to verify that my vehicle's thermostat is functioning properly?
A: Yes, the thermostat can be tested by boiling it in plain water for approximately 3-5 minutes. If the thermostat does not open, it should be replaced.

Q: Could a damaged thermostat affect interior heat?
A: Yes, the thermostat can become stuck in the open position. This will prevent the engine from reaching operating temperature in cold weather, resulting in poor interior heater performance.

Maintenance & Troubleshooting

Signs of Wear & Troubleshooting

  • Signs of wear include:
    • Coolant leak
    • Overheating of the engine
    • Lack of available heat in the vehicle cabin
    • Reduced fuel economy

Good Maintenance Practices

  • Maintain proper coolant levels and check level monthly (Note: Never attempt to remove a radiator cap while the engine is hot. Serious injury could result).
    • Replace coolant with a mixture of antifreeze and water according to the vehicle manufacturer's recommendations.
    • Inspect engine belts for cracks or missing sections; check belt tension.
    • Evaluate radiator and radiator cap for leaks, corrosion, or a worn cap gasket.
    • Examine hoses every 12 months. Look for leaks, cracks or rot. Replace when showing signs of wear.
    • Tighten any loose clamps. Always replace clamps when replacing hoses.
    • Have cooling system inspected immediately if instrument panel-mounted temperature gauge indicates engine overheating.
    • Periodically, remove bugs, leaves and other debris from the front of the radiator. They can block airflow and substantially reduce cooling efficiency.
