Volvo 940 Thermostat

The Volvo 940 Thermostat maintains constant heat to the engine's red block and prevents power loss and excessive fuel consumption. The Thermostat is housed on the upper radiator hose, where its sensor detects the temperature of the coolant and opens or closes to pass additional fluid through the radiator, to ensure the motor does not overheat or run excessively cold. The unit, as most 940 series automotive cooling regulators do, uses a mechanical wax pellet, which expands when hot, forcing a valve open, and contracts when cooler, a basic process requiring no external power and responding to changing engine loads, which happens very fast. Since Volvo motors are designed to last long, the thermostatic control should follow the same design and since the Thermostat is made of a wax pellet, the brand should also stick to the same design instead of changing to bimetal strip, pneumatic or digitally programmable models applied in homes. Thus annual variations are primarily due to the calibrated opening temperature imprinted on the cap, and cars in warmer climates usually have an 87 degree version while hotter market cars have a cooler rating to help when towing or driving in the mountains. Replacing the Thermostat with an alternate temperature setting leaves the hose fittings and housings the same, so changing it in the driveway takes only a few minutes and costs less than a cup of coffee, which is a feature that long time owners of Volvo 940 models will like optimal since they can quickly notice a problem with their car such as not warming up quickly enough or variable gauge displays or spikes before the problem is disastrous, which keeps all Volvo models reliable over their years on the road.

Volvo 940 Thermostat Parts and Q&A

  • Q: How to remove and install a thermostat on Volvo 940?
    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.
