Where is the thermostat located in Chery vehicles?
1 Answers
Chery's thermostat is located at the engine outlet pipe, which is the upper radiator hose. Thermostat working principle: The thermostat automatically adjusts the amount of water entering the radiator based on the coolant temperature, changing the water circulation range to regulate the cooling system's heat dissipation capacity, ensuring the engine operates within an appropriate temperature range. The thermostat must maintain good technical condition; otherwise, it will seriously affect the engine's normal operation. Thermostat opening too late or too early: If the thermostat's main valve opens too late, it will cause engine overheating; if the main valve opens too early, it will prolong the engine warm-up time, resulting in the engine temperature being too low. Thermostat fault diagnosis method: Generally, about five minutes after a cold start, the coolant temperature should reach the normal operating range of 85-105 degrees Celsius. If it takes an unusually long time to reach the normal operating temperature or the temperature rises rapidly beyond 110 degrees, you should suspect whether the thermostat has malfunctioned.
