1 Answers
There are generally three symptoms of a faulty car thermostat, as detailed below: Thermostat fails to open: If the thermostat fails to open, the temperature gauge will show the coolant temperature in the high range, but the radiator fan will not turn on. The engine temperature will be high, and it is prone to losing antifreeze. Slow temperature rise: If the car thermostat does not close, the coolant temperature will rise slowly, especially in winter. Even after 10-20 minutes, the temperature may still be in the low range, and the idle speed will be high. Coolant turbulence: After a cold start, if you immediately open the radiator filler cap and the coolant inside is not calm, it indicates the thermostat is malfunctioning. Otherwise, the thermostat is working normally.
