Engine Temperature Control Actuator -N493-, CHECKING

From January 2014:Engine Temperature Control Actuator -N493-, CHECKING

From December 2015:Engine Temperature Control Actuator -N493-, CHECKING

General Description

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.
