Failure Symptoms

A failing thermostat may cause the engine to run too cool, leading to poor fuel efficiency and increased emissions, or it may stick closed, causing rapid overheating. If the engine overheats, it can lead to severe damage to the cylinder head and gasket. Continued operation with an improperly functioning cooling system risks major engine component failure.

Installation Tip

Ensure the engine block and cylinder head mating surfaces are clean and free of old gasket material before installing the new thermostat. Always use a new gasket or O-ring as specified.

Service Note

Inspect the radiator hoses, water pump, and coolant level when replacing the thermostat.
