Perodua Ativa Thermostat Malaysia
Wax thermostat on the KF-VED turbo engine. Turbo operation requires efficient cooling — a sluggish thermostat will cause the engine to run hot under boost. Replace at the first sign of abnormal temperature.
Ativa Thermostat
- Controls engine operating temperature — turbo engines need precise temperature regulation
- Stuck open: engine takes long to warm up, heater ineffective, fuel economy poor
- Replace if suspected — turbo runs best at correct operating temperature
