Functionality water valve
The water valve, also known as the coolant control valve, plays a crucial role in a car's cooling system. It regulates the flow of coolant through the engine and helps ensure the optimum operating temperature. When the engine starts cold, the valve remains closed to allow the coolant to circulate in the engine block and warm it up faster.
When operating temperature is reached, the valve opens and coolant is directed to the radiator to dissipate heat. A functioning water valve is essential for engine performance and longevity. It prevents overheating and ensures efficient fuel combustion.
