The 014-025-0042 Thermostat, coolant<\/strong> is a ABAKUS<\/strong> thermostat listed under our
\nThermostat<\/a> category at
\nCG Auto Parts Shop<\/a>. Every listing includes a full manufacturer cross-reference
\ntable so you can confirm fitment by part number before you order.<\/p>\n

014-025-0042 Thermostat, coolant \u2014 function and selection<\/h2>\n

The thermostat is a wax-element valve that remains closed when the engine is cold, blocking coolant flow to the radiator and allowing the engine to reach operating temperature quickly. Once the coolant temperature reaches the thermostat’s calibrated opening point, the wax pellet expands, opening the valve and allowing flow to the radiator. A failed-open thermostat keeps the engine perpetually cold; a failed-closed thermostat causes rapid overheating.<\/p>\n

Signs You Need a Replacement<\/h2>\n

An engine that takes unusually long to reach operating temperature, or that never reaches it, points to a stuck-open thermostat. A rapid temperature rise to the red zone on cold startup, or persistent overheating with no other obvious cause, indicates a stuck-closed unit.<\/p>\n

Brand & Manufacturing Authority<\/h2>\n

This thermostat is manufactured by ABAKUS<\/strong>, a recognised supplier
\nto the automotive aftermarket. The part number 014-025-0042<\/strong> identifies this specific
\nunit in the manufacturer’s own catalog. It is supplied new \u2014 not remanufactured \u2014 and is backed by our
\nwarranty policy.<\/p>\n

Material & Construction<\/h2>\n

Built from wax-element actuator housed in a stamped steel or plastic body with a return spring and seat gasket, matched to the engine’s specified opening temperature. This construction is chosen to match or exceed the OE
\nspecification it replaces under the same load, temperature, and service conditions.<\/p>\n

Fitment Confidence<\/h2>\n

Year-make-model filters alone can miss mid-year production changes that affect fitment. The safest
\nmethod is to match the part number stamped on your existing thermostat against the
\ncross-reference table below. If you can’t locate your existing part number, send your vehicle VIN
\nthrough our contact page and we’ll confirm before you order.<\/p>\n

\nmanual procedure. For the engineering standards that govern this part category, see the
\nSAE International cooling system standards<\/a>.<\/p>\n
