Where is the thermostat located on the Wuling Hongguang 1.2?
2 Answers
The thermostat on the Wuling Hongguang 1.2 is located at the junction between the upper water pipe and the cylinder head. This layout is structurally simple, but the drawback is that the thermostat may produce oscillation during operation. Introduction to the 2018 Wuling Hongguang S: 1. Body dimensions: Length is 4420mm, width is 1685mm, height is 1755mm, and with roof rack it is 1770mm. 2. Interior: The seats are available in both fabric and leather materials, providing excellent support and wrapping, ensuring comfort even during long drives. The driver's seat in higher trim models features eight-way adjustment functionality.
I remember when I checked the thermostat on my Wuling Hongguang 1.2, it was located on the upper left side of the engine, usually fixed to a metal component next to the water pump. Open the hood and follow the radiator hose, you'll see a round black plastic cover—that's the thermostat housing. If you've just driven the car, don't rush to touch it; the engine is very hot and could burn your hand. I accidentally touched it once and nearly got hurt. I recommend working on it when the engine is cool. Start with simple checks, like verifying the coolant level is normal. If the thermostat gets stuck closed, the car can easily overheat, potentially damaging engine components in severe cases. Regularly inspecting it helps prevent failures—it's not too complicated, even beginners can easily learn.
