Thermostat

A thermostat is involved in regulating the quantity of the coolant that gets recirculated into the engine area of your Toyota. Through this, the thermostat keeps the temperature in the engine within a certain range so that it doesn't overheat or get too cool. The temperature controlled by the thermostat is the optimum temperature for peak performance. That being said, if your car's thermostat starts to wear out, there can. be several problems that occur as a result. It's crucial to pay attention to how your thermostat is operating so you can make a replacement if needed. If the temperature of your vehicle is running high, this can be an issue with the thermostat. Look for quick spikes in the temperature that happen soon after you start your vehicle. While a jump in temperature on the hot side is a sign of potential thermostat failure, an engine that is running cold can also be a problem. A thermostat stuck in an open position will let too much coolant through and cause a cold engine that won't run properly. Another thing you can check is the level of coolant your car has. Drastic changes instead of gradual decreases in the level can be sign of a thermostat issue. Find OEM Toyota thermostats for replacements here at Toyota of Massapequa.
