The opening and closing of the thermostat is controlled by coolant temperature alone. There has to be coolant flowing through it to work. The best way to test it is to stick in in a bowl of hopt water with a thermometer and make sure it opens/closes at the right temp. The figures you want are: Cooling system capacity: 4.8 litres Thermostat begin opening: 82 C Thermostat fully open: 95 C |
