Should the Engine Water Pump Thermostat Be Replaced if It's Leaking?
1 Answers
It is recommended to replace the engine water pump thermostat if it's leaking. The thermostat leaks due to reasons such as coolant leakage and engine overheating. The details are as follows: Coolant Leakage: The installation position of the thermostat is at the connection point of two circulation system pipelines. The water channel has an interface here, which poses a risk. Although the thermostat is equipped with seals, coolant leakage can still occur. Engine Overheating: When the thermostat is stuck in the position that closes the large circulation, even if the coolant temperature can soften the paraffin, the large circulation still cannot be opened. In this case, the coolant itself cannot dissipate heat, which will quickly lead to engine overheating. Automotive Thermostat: It is a valve that controls the flow path of the engine coolant. This product automatically adjusts the amount of water entering the radiator based on the coolant temperature to ensure the engine operates within a suitable temperature range, which can save energy and reduce consumption. This is because the engine consumes more fuel at low temperatures and causes greater damage to the vehicle, including the easy formation of carbon deposits and a series of related problems.
