Element Thermostat with Stopper

About this product

The Element Thermostat with Stopper (#90916-03147), a crucial Engine-Fuel part within the Radiator & Water Outlet system, regulates the circulation of coolant based on the engine's temperature. It blocks the flow to the radiator when the engine is cold, allowing it to warm up faster. When the engine is warm, it opens to permit coolant flow, preventing overheating. Components involved include a temperature-sensitive wax pellet that expands and contracts to open or close the valve. A deteriorated or malfunctioning thermostat can lead to engine overheating or inefficiency. Therefore, it's essential to replace it periodically. Genuine Toyota parts are designed specifically for Toyota vehicles, ensuring compatibility. They are also covered under Toyota's genuine parts warranty. In conclusion, the Element Thermostat with Stopper (#90916-03147) contributes significantly to engine efficiency, and indirectly to the safety of the vehicle, by effectively managing engine temperature.
