A faulty thermostat of the engine cooling system on a VAZ 2108 car causes a violation of the temperature regime during operation. This is reflected in a longer time warming up of the car after starting the engine, as well as in overheating of the coolant while driving, especially when driving on roads in the city.

Instructions
Step 1
In cases where such signs appear in the operation of the engine, it is necessary to replace the thermostat located in the engine compartment under the hood of the car.
