Where is the thermostat located on the Mondeo 2.5?

[VonMartin]

It is located near the engine, close to the water pump. The thermostat, also known as the temperature regulator, functions by automatically adjusting the amount of coolant entering the radiator based on the coolant temperature, thereby altering the coolant circulation range to regulate the cooling system's heat dissipation capacity and ensure the engine operates within the appropriate temperature range. Below is additional information about the thermostat: 1. The car thermostat must maintain good technical condition; otherwise, it will severely affect the engine's normal operation. For example, if the thermostat's main valve opens too late, it can cause engine overheating; if it opens too early, it prolongs the engine warm-up time, resulting in the engine running too cold. 2. Methods to determine whether the thermostat is functioning properly: If coolant continues to flow from the upper water chamber inlet pipe of the radiator when the engine starts cold, it indicates that the thermostat's main valve cannot close. If no coolant flows from the upper water chamber inlet pipe when the engine coolant temperature exceeds 70 degrees Celsius, it means the thermostat's main valve cannot open properly, and repairs are needed at this point.
