WATER PUMP AND THERMOSTAT
Water pump
It is the centrifugal type with vanes secured to the crankcase and operated directly through the timing belt.
1. Water pump impeller
2. Water pump casing
3. Water pump drive pulley
4. Water pump shaft
5. Bearing
6. Mechanical seal
Thermostat
Fitted to the rear of the cylinder head, it performs the function of maintaining the engine at optimum temperature:
- with the temperature < 88 ± 2°C the thermostat valve (closed) deviates fluid directly toward the pump.
- with the temperature > 88 ± 2°C the thermostat valve (open) deviates coolant directly toward the radiator.
The engine coolant temperature sensor is fitted on the thermostat and is connected to the injection control unit (see 1056).
