Suzuki Forenza Thermostats and Parts

Your Suzuki Forenzas thermostat is an unsung hero, lessening engine wear, emissions, and deposits to keep your car running in optimal condition when youre behind the wheel. By regulating your vehicles operation temperature, the thermostat is one of your cars most important assets because it protects the motor. Faulty or failing thermostats should be replaced as soon as possible with quality Suzuki Forenza parts to prevent extensive and expensive damage to your engine.

What does the thermostat do for the Suzuki cooling system?

Stationed between your Suzuki Forenzas radiator and motor, the thermostat is a small utility that keeps coolant out of the radiator until the motor reaches its proper temperature. The thermostat does not open until the motor reaches its operating temperature, which allows the engine to warm up quickly and diminishes the chance of deposits, emissions, and wear to the motor.

How do you know the thermostat is not working properly?
  • Car overheats: The thermostat is a heat-sensitive control device, and when it does not work as it should, the heat of your car escalates. When the thermostat is stuck closed, coolant is not released into the radiator to bring the heat down. While there can be other reasons that your Forenza may overheat, always check the thermostat to make sure it is not the culprit.
  • Car is not heating enough: If the thermostat is stuck in an open position, the motor will not be able to reach the proper temperature. If it is stuck open, coolant is constantly being released into the radiator whether it is needed or not. If you notice the indicator on your temperature gauge is stuck at the bottom, it may be time to evaluate the thermostat.
  • Temperature fluctuates: When the thermostat is not stuck in any one position, the operating temperature of the car will change but never really be correct. Faulty readings will prevent temperature regulation.
  • Bad engine performance: When the motors internal temperature is unpredictable, the motor cannot possibly work as it should.
What thermostats and parts are available for the Suzuki Forenza?
  • Thermostat assemblies: These include everything you need for your Forenzas cooling system including housing and O-ring or gaskets.
  • Thermostat: This is the valve itself that is necessary for regulating your Forenzas operating temperature.
  • Housing: The housing covers and protects the thermostat in its place above the water pump and directs the flow of coolant when the valve opens. The housing can be made of aluminum, metal, or plastic composite.
  • Gaskets: To keep coolant from seeping from the housing, most thermostats use two gaskets. The first is a pre-formed gasket that is stationed between the housing and the motor block. They tend to be make and model specific. The second gasket, often called an O-ring, keeps coolant from leaking around the thermostat within the housing.
