Description: The thermostat controls the large and small cooling circuits and thus regulates the cooling of the water-cooled engine. This ensures a short cold running phase while the engine is fully cooled under load. If the thermostat is defective or stuck, the engine only runs with one of the two cooling circuits. This results in unnecessarily long warm-up phases or the engine overheating. It is therefore important to replace a hanging thermostat at an early stage so that the temperature control of the cooling water can function properly again.
The MAHLE company was founded in Stuttgart in 1920 and initially specialized in the production of light metal pistons. Since 2010, MAHLE has been the majority shareholder of Behr, which is the ideal partner for topics such as engine cooling and air conditioning. As a result, the product range of MALHE, a company with over 100 years of tradition, has been expanded once again. In addition to pistons, cylinders and filter systems, they are constantly developing new innovative solutions to help shape the future of mobility.
