How Do You Know If Your

Mercedes-Benz Thermostat Is Going Bad in Santa Barbara?


Thermostat runs with the radiator and coolant to keep your engine at an optimal temperature.


When the thermostat is working properly, the engine is functioning efficiently.


Thermostat allows hot coolant to enter the radiator to prevent the engine from overheating.


If you’re experiencing overheating issues, then inspect the thermostat by a mechanic.


The following points define the signs of a bad thermostat in your Mercedes-Benz.


Problems in the temperature gauge


Through the condition of the temperature gauge you can easily determine the functions of the thermostat.


If the thermostat gauge doesn't go beyond the actual temperature, then it needs replacement.


High temperature


High temperatures indicate a leak in the coolant tank and also be a sign of a bad thermostat.


If the engine temperature is cool but spikes very high within a minute, then it may be the thermostat.


Low coolant level


If the coolant levels drastically change, then your thermostat may not be working properly.


When the tank is completely empty, then you could have a leak and a thermostat issue.


Cold engine


If your car thermostat has gone bad, then your engine is constantly running hot.


If the thermostat remains open, the coolant will continually move through and cause a cold engine.


Conclusion


If you think your Mercedes-Benz thermostat isn't working properly, visit a repair center.


Run a full diagnostic to determine where the issues are with the thermostat and replace it if necessary.
