Proton S16 Thermostat replacement
When do Proton S16 thermostats need to be replaced?
A car's thermostat is part of the Proton S16's cooling system, the thermostat regulates the engine’s operating temperature and flow of coolant circulation through the engine.
It keeps your Proton S16's engine at the optimum running temperature so the engine has time to warm up on startup and also cool down when it is hot.
The thermostat is a valve that opens and closes to allow or deny coolant flow. When a thermostat fails it can get stuck open or closed. This can cause the engine to overheat.
Proton S16 thermostats can fail due to a defect, old age, overheating, and sludge buildup. If it does malfunction it can lead to serious problems and should be replaced as soon as an issue is detected.
