ENGINE TEMPERATURE CONTROL ACTUATOR N493, CHECKING

Engine Temperature Control Actuator - N493- , Checking


General Description

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.
