Drain the coolant so that its level was below the thermostat.

Remove the thermostat.

Check

Fig. 2.183. Immersion thermostat water bath

Place the thermostat in hot coolant or water and check that the temperature of the thermostat valve opening corresponds to the nominal value. Replace if necessary (Fig. 2.183).

Valve opening temperature: 95 ?� C.

The valve stroke (with the full opening): 8.5 mm.
