Replacing the cooling system thermostat
To check the thermostat on a car, start a cold engine and feel the radiator outlet hose - it should be cold.
After the coolant temperature reaches 82°C, the hose should begin to heat up rapidly, indicating the start of fluid circulation in the large circuit.
If this does not happen and the coolant temperature sensor is good, replace the thermostat.
Disconnect the negative battery terminal
Drain the coolant as described in the article - Features of the Hyundai Solaris engine cooling system
Loosen the hose clamp to the thermostat housing nozzle and slide it along the hose
Remove the hose from the nozzle
We unscrew the two nuts of the studs of the thermostat housing
Remove the thermostat housing from its studs ia
Remove the thermostat from the cylinder block
To check, we lower the thermostat into a container with water heated to 78-80 ° C
Gradually heating the water, we monitor the opening temperature of the thermostat valve
The valve should start to open at 82±1.5° C, at 95° the thermostat should open fully
Valve travel (when fully open) - 8.5 mm.
Install the thermostat in the reverse order and fill in the coolant.
