Removing the thermostat from fiat barchetta 1.8 16v
Car thermostat problems happen unexpectedly. Usually, you'll start to notice that your car begins to overheat soon after you fire up the engine, or the temperature gauge on your dashboard remains below its normal temperature point.
But how do you know it is the thermostat acting up? After all, some of these same symptoms may come from a failing water pump, radiator, fan, or even a loose drive belt.
In general, when a thermostat gives out, it gets stuck in a closed or opened position. Whatever its failing state, you'll find out in a few minutes using one or more of the tests described in this guide. But first, you need to take a quick look at how it operates so that you understand the logic behind these simple tests.
Classy, sleek and achingly pretty, the Fiat Barchetta open top sports car was always one of those great future classics which you might pass up for various reasons. In the Barchetta’s case it’s the seating plan. Closer examination reveals that a steering wheel, pedals and driver’s console sprouting from what should be, in a standard car, a relatively empty passenger side. That’s right, the Barchetta is a left-hand drive only car, or - as the trade neatly calls it- a ‘left hooker’ (not in that context you understand - ed). Joking aside, but however you view this modern Fiat, it’s a good, cheekier alternative to an MGF or MX-5 and oozes the sort of character only an Italian rag top can. So in that case there’s classic status promised already and the best thing of all are the prices these fab Fiats currently sell for.
