ATEC thermostats – Product description

As a control element located between the small and large cooling circuits, the thermostat plays a crucial role in monitoring the temperatures prevailing in the engine compartment. Depending on the vehicle model and engine type, you will need to purchase a different ATEC thermostat. The following applies: The more powerful the engine, the more resistant the thermostat must be.

The product description will tell you the temperature threshold at which the thermostat opens or closes the channel between the small and large cooling circuits in order to actively counteract the threat of overheating or undesired temperature loss.

When the thermostat opens, the hot cooling water provided by the water pump enters the large cooling circuit via the radiator. The thermostat not only has the task of compensating for excessively high temperatures. It also helps the engine to reach and maintain its operating temperature.

If there is a thermostat defect, the entire cooling circuit is disturbed. In that case, a total loss due to engine overheating can be the result. An abnormal temperature display (permanently too cold or too hot) or a noticeable increase in fuel consumption can be the first signs of a thermostat that is no longer functioning properly. When the first symptoms appear, you should act quickly and get a new, properly functioning thermostat.

Whether electrically heated map thermostat or standard wax thermostat, whether with or without integrated housing: All ATEC thermostats comply with the latest EU directives and meet the best OE quality. If you decide to buy an ATEC thermostat, you can look forward not only to a particularly attractive price/performance ratio. On top of that, you get a ready-to-install product – including a matching seal.
