While many people are familiar with the major parts of their vehicle, there are many small details that also play a vital role. The thermostat is one of those parts that many people don't think about, but which is extremely important for your car. It can be found between the radiator and the engine and is relatively small in size. In a typical car, this is about two inches in diameter. This makes it pretty easy to look past him if you're not looking for him.

The thermostat blocks the coolant from flowing to the radiator until the engine is at the right temperature. There is a small valve that opens to allow coolant to flow. So if the engine is warm, coolant flows through it, if the engine is cold, it blocks the coolant.

It is recommended to buy a good quality thermostat when it needs to be replaced. This is an investment that will benefit your engine. The second benefit of a quality thermostat is that it helps reduce fuel consumption. The thermostat consists of four main parts: the flange, the frame, the heat engine (here you will find the valve) and the spring.

For best results when looking for a quality thermostat for your car, consider the following tips:

  • Suitable for your carA: There are some thermostats that may not reach the required temperature to release the coolant, so it is recommended to refer to the owner's manual.

  • Car ageA: The age of your car will help determine which thermostat is best for you.

  • Buy newA: You want to be sure you're buying a brand new part and not a remanufactured or used one.

  • Premium and extra features: It is important to note that some models have a disc at the bottom. "Premium" thermostats are also available on the market. They feature larger heat engines and stronger springs and frames.
