Engine Temperature Control Actuator - N493-, Checking: General Description

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2018 Audi A3 Quattro, 2017 Audi A3 Quattro, 2016 Audi A3 Quattro, 2016 Audi A3, and 2015 Audi A3 Quattro. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The coolant flow is regulated by means of two mechanically coupled rotary slide valves. The angular position of the rotary slide valves is regulated according to various engine maps stored in the engine control unit. Various switching positions can be implemented by configuring the rotary slide valves accordingly. This allows rapid heating of the engine, which, in turn, results in lower friction and higher fuel economy.
