Thermostat
The thermostat is in the thermostat housing which is in the connection to the coolant outlet from the cylinder head. At the heart of the thermostat is a wax body which expands with energy in the form of heat. In modern cooling systems, the thermostat begins to expand when the surrounding coolant temperature is 90° C.
