Where is the thermostat located in the Wuling Hongguang?

The thermostat in the Wuling Hongguang is located inside the engine outlet pipe joint. You can find it by following the radiator pipe towards the position near the engine block. The function of the thermostat is to automatically adjust the amount of water entering the radiator based on the temperature of the coolant, changing the circulation range of the water to regulate the cooling system's heat dissipation capacity, ensuring the engine operates within an appropriate temperature range. The relevant introduction of the thermostat is as follows: 1. The thermostat automatically adjusts the amount of water entering the radiator based on the temperature of the coolant, changing the water circulation range to regulate the cooling system's heat dissipation capacity, ensuring the engine operates within an appropriate temperature range. 2. If the main valve of the thermostat opens too late, it will cause the engine to overheat; if the main valve opens too early, it will prolong the engine's warm-up time, resulting in the engine temperature being too low.
I've been repairing cars for over a decade. The thermostat of Wuling Hongguang is usually located above the engine water pump. You need to open the hood and follow the coolant hose to find that small copper device. It controls the flow of coolant to the radiator - if it gets stuck, the engine may overheat and seize. When I encounter this situation, I usually first check the water temperature with a thermometer for abnormalities. If a malfunction is found, it's best to directly replace it with a new thermostat. For regular maintenance, I recommend checking it every two years as it tends to accumulate deposits or get corroded/aged by coolant. Remember to let the engine cool down before disassembly to avoid burns, and use a wrench for gentle removal. Beginners should take photos to record the position before repairs to prevent operational errors.
I've been driving a Wuling Hongguang for five years and often fix minor issues myself. The thermostat is located in the engine compartment, near the water pump. When you open the hood, you can easily spot the small device connected to the coolant hoses. If it fails, the air from the AC vents won't be cold, and the engine may even start smoking. I just replaced mine last month—it's really simple to do. Just spend a few dozen yuan on a new part and swap it in. Before driving, I always check the coolant level to prevent potential issues. Remember to wear gloves when replacing parts to avoid coolant contact with your skin. If you can't locate it, download a manual app to search for diagrams or find a video tutorial on forums.
