184000299 - 1088C WATER PUMP AND THERMOSTAT

WATER PUMP

It is the centrifugal type with vanes, fixed to the crankcase and operated directly by the timing belt.

THERMOSTAT

Mounted on the rear of the cylinder head, its function is to keep the engine at the optimum temperature:

  • at a temperature of < 87 ± 2°C the (closed) thermostatic valve directs the coolant directly towards the pump
  • at a temperature of > 87 ± 2°C the (open) thermostatic valve directs the coolant towards the radiator.
The coolant temperature sensor connected to the fuel injection control unit is fitted to the thermostat (see 1056).
