What does a thermostat do?

A thermostat in an engine cooling system opens and closes to regulate how coolant moves through the engine and radiator. This helps the engine warm up and stay within its normal operating temperature range.

What are common signs a thermostat needs replacing?

Common signs include the engine overheating, the engine running cooler than normal or taking a long time to warm up, and a temperature gauge that swings or reads erratically. Coolant leaking at the thermostat housing can also point to a problem. These symptoms can have other causes, so follow the machine's service manual when diagnosing.
