Where is the thermostat located on the Cruze?

The thermostat on the Cruze is located at the water outlet on the upper part of the engine cooling system. The working principle of the thermostat is that when the cooling temperature is below the specified value, the refined wax inside the thermostat's temperature-sensitive body remains in a solid state. The thermostat valve, under the action of the spring, closes the channel between the engine and the radiator, causing the coolant to return to the engine via the water pump, creating a small circulation within the engine. The dimensions of the Cruze are 4666mm in length, 1807mm in width, and 1460mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2700mm. In terms of the powertrain, the 2018 Cruze is equipped with a 1.5L naturally aspirated engine and a 1.4T turbocharged engine. The 1.5L engine is paired with either a 6-speed manual transmission or a 6-speed automatic transmission, while the 1.4T engine is matched with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission.
