Volvo 740 Thermostat

The Volvo 740 Thermostat maintains a healthy operating temperature of the engine by opening and closing the flow of coolant between the block and radiator. The Thermostat is mounted in a small casing close to the radiator outlet and reads coolant warmth, responding to it to ensure that the motor warms fast but never exceeds its optimum range, saving power, economy, and life span. The series of early 740 cars involved a simple mechanical unit that is constructed around a coiled bimetallic strip, which bends with heat and closes a valve when cold and opens it when the metal expands. A wax pellet design was later taken up by Volvo, which is still mechanical but employs wax that expands smoothly when hot to raise a plunger to enable a smooth flow of coolant with greater precision. The highly important aspect is the style of movement; the bimetal snap action may lead to minor fluctuations in temperature, whereas the wax type will provide more reliable flow and longer service. Both Thermostats operate as closed-loop self-contained switches, linking with the cooling fan and water pump and not with electronics, thereby making the system simple and dependable. An ineffective Thermostat may result in slow warming up or overheating, and thus careful selection of the right temperature rating as stated by Volvo is critical. Having this little component functioning well, all Volvo 740s have stable engine heat and reliable cabin warmth all year round.

Volvo 740 Thermostat Parts and Q&A

  • Q: How to remove and install a thermostat on Volvo 740?
    A:
    Removing and installing the thermostat requires the removal of the negative battery cable and draining of the cooling system in a proper container. The next thing is to remove the retaining bolts and disconnect the coolant hose to the thermostat housing. Disassemble the thermostat housing, thermostat, and gasket and take note of the fact that certain thermostats may need special alignment or orientation when harvesting the thermostat. To install, wash the mating surfaces, install another gasket and make sure that the thermostat is installed in the right place. Install back the thermostat housing and tighten the bolts up to the appropriate torque. Refill cooling system over the expansion tank, reconnect negative battery cable and start the engine, letting it reach normal operating temperature. Lastly, drain the cooling, fill with coolant and test it by looking at whether it is leaking or not.
