MTU Thermostat 5242030075

Description

The Thermostat measures and controls the coolant temperature in the engine for proper operation.

HOW IT WORKS

The thermostat begins at a closed position when you start the engine. As the coolant temperature rises, the thermostat opens. The opening of the thermostat allows hot coolant into the engine, allowing it to flow to the radiator for cooling.

WHY IT MATTERS

The thermostat is key to preventing the engine from overheating or overcooling during operation. It is critical for optimal engine operation.
