* this article has been translated from Russian text into English.When buying Baleno to run it was discovered that the radiator engine was shut down at the cardboard that the previous owner said soon the cold of winter training but it was not there. I took off this board and realized the thermostat is not working, because when driving down arrow pointer temperatures fell relentlessly, and when driving up the hill grew up. Abnormal and fuel consumption is influenced very strongly, because the control unit thinks that the engine had not yet warmed up and to the fuel in the cylinders more provisions. The originals zamorachivatsya did not. Selected QUINTON HAZEL № QTH209k 88 ° C (winter) complete with gasket.
There were about 6 $, ordered in ekziste.
Now the details of replacing the thermostat:
1) The radiator is Baleno tap (a rarity for cars) on the left to go in the corner of the radiator. Take a plastic poltorashku substitute for this faucet and drain a half liters of coolant. (this is enough to replace the thermostat).
2) twist off two boltika mounting body thermo boxes. (In the upper left, on the head unit) and removed the old thermostat (I was completely open, it is not good). Pay attention at the thermostat is compensatory hole with a valve. On the thermostat there is a casting box, the form of a needle so that's compensatory combine the hole when you install a new thermostat. Shoots from the old thermostat and wear a rubber seal on the new hole and set back up.
3) Put the gasket under the two boltika (comes complete with a thermostat, you can not make it, using sealant) and intertwine all náměstí. Upload antifreeze and try.
In normal mode, the arrow pointer in temperature should be slightly below the middle of a field pointer.
And even before installing the new thermostat it is desirable to check whether it works not that.
To do this, take an iron container, pour water and put it the thermostat. We put all the gas and produce heat. It is advisable to check a thermometer at 120 degrees. Start opening the thermostat should be at 88 ° C, and complete in the region of 100 ° C.
Well temperature.
Do not vskipit not zastynet your engine.
