Where is the thermostat located in the Mercedes-Benz GLK200?

The thermostat in the Mercedes-Benz GLK200 is installed in the cylinder head outlet water pipe. Working principle of the automotive thermostat: The thermostat automatically adjusts the amount of water entering the radiator based on the coolant temperature to ensure the engine operates within an appropriate temperature range, which helps save energy consumption. This is because the engine consumes more fuel at low temperatures and suffers greater damage, including the easy formation of carbon deposits and a series of related issues. Negative effects of improper use of the automotive thermostat: The thermostat must be kept in good working condition; otherwise, it will seriously affect the normal operation of the engine. For example, if the thermostat opens (referring to the main valve of the thermostat) too late or fails to open, it will cause the engine to overheat. If it opens too early, the engine's warm-up time will be prolonged, resulting in the engine temperature being too low.
