Wuling Hongguang 1.2 thermostat is located at the water outlet, follow the radiator pipe towards the position near the engine block. Wuling Hongguang is a microvan under SAIC-GM-Wuling. Taking the 2020 Wuling Hongguang as an example, its body dimensions are: length 4390mm, width 1660mm, height 1750mm, wheelbase 2720mm, fuel tank capacity 50l. The maximum power of the 2020 Wuling Hongguang engine is 56kw, the maximum torque is 110nm, the maximum torque speed is 3000 to 4000rpm per minute, and it is matched with a 5-speed manual transmission.
I've disassembled the Wuling Hongguang's engine several times, and the thermostat on the 1.2L model is particularly easy to find. It's located at the front of the engine bay, right in the middle of the metal pipe connecting the engine water hose to the radiator. The one with the small brass cap is it. I remember once helping a fellow villager replace it; we had to move the intake hose aside to reach the screws. The most common issue with this car's thermostat is it getting stuck in the always-open position, which prevents the water temperature from rising, especially in northern winters when the heater doesn't get warm. When replacing it, be extra careful to orient the brass cap side towards the engine—installing it backwards will cause it to stop working immediately.
