Thermostat, Engine Cooling

Temperature sticks can be used to determine a thermostat's operating range, by rubbing 87°C (188°F) and 97°C (206°F) sticks on the thermostat housing.

Use a tempil stick in order to find the opening and the closing temperatures of the coolant thermostat.

* J 24731 -188 tempil stick melts at 87°C (188°F). The thermostat should begin to open.
* J 24731 -206 tempil stick melts at 97°C (206°F). The thermostat should be fully open.
