The Volvo XC70 Thermostat is the gatekeeper of the temperature of the engine, and with the five-cylinder or six-cylinder powerplants it enables them to heat up very fast, then remain in their sweet spot during each drive. This small device is mounted close to the radiator, and it detects the heat of the coolant with a pellet of wax, which expands to nearly ninety degrees Celsius and opens a valve to pass cool fluid through the radiator to prevent the hot spots that can be very dangerous, and the closed state at start-up results in warm-ups within minutes, quicker throttle response, cleaner emissions, and earlier in-cabin warm-up. Subsequent Volvo wagons combine the same time-tested pellet with an electronic sensor such that the control module can tweak the flow during steep climbs and heavy towing, with old-fashioned backbone and computer precision. The Thermostat is designed to fit all first-year 2002 crossovers perfectly and still fits the updated 2008, 2011, and 2016 models, which means that owners of XC70 2.5T, 3.2, T6, or Ocean Race editions have the same reliability. Since a healthy Thermostat eliminates warped heads, blown gaskets, and cold-running fuel consumption, it positively contributes to the Volvo and its long-established reputation of safety, not to mention that cabin electronics and crash-avoidance systems remain at their intended efficiency. Exclusive fast-responding wax chemistry allows it to adapt quicker than many competitors, a minor detail that is appreciated when weather changes to 52-degree mornings and 105-degree afternoons. Three additional features actually stand out, mechanically simple construction to last long, precision factory calibration to safeguard the turbocharged engines, and complete compatibility with all-wheel drive and front-wheel drive systems. Together with the already popular structural power of Volvo cars, the consistent heat regulation provided by this component provides any XC70 driver with additional confidence on highways, snowy roads, and dusty paths.
