Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What does a car thermostat do?

A: The thermostat is a valve that controls coolant flow. When the engine is cold, it stays closed to help the engine warm up quickly. When the engine reaches its optimal temperature, the thermostat opens to allow coolant to circulate and prevent overheating.

Q: What are the symptoms of a bad thermostat?

A: Common signs include the engine overheating or running hotter than normal, an erratic temperature gauge, poor heater performance in the cabin, and potential coolant leaks from the thermostat housing.

Q: Can I drive with a faulty thermostat?

A: It is not recommended. If a thermostat is stuck closed, your engine can quickly overheat, leading to severe damage. If it's stuck open, the engine will not reach its proper temperature, causing poor fuel economy and increased engine wear.

Q: Should I replace the whole thermostat housing?

A: Many modern vehicles use a plastic thermostat housing that comes as a complete assembly. This plastic can become brittle and crack over time. If your vehicle uses one of these, it is always best practice to replace the entire unit to prevent future leaks.
