Frequently asked questions

What does the RTC6673 thermostat do?
The RTC6673 thermostat regulates coolant flow in the 2.5L 4-cylinder VM Turbo Diesel. It stays closed during warm-up to bring the engine up to temperature quickly, then opens to let coolant flow to the radiator and hold a steady running temperature. It sits in the thermostat housing at the coolant outlet.
What are the signs the thermostat needs replacing?
A failing thermostat typically sticks open or closed. Stuck open, the engine runs cold and is slow to warm; stuck closed, it overheats. On the VM Turbo Diesel a faulty thermostat can cause poor heater output or temperature gauge swings. Replace it if temperature regulation becomes erratic.
