GENERAL Learning Environment Category B (B, B1)
Question 879 of 1208

Frequent driving with the thermostat defective and, implicitly, with a coolant temperature below 60 degrees C leads to:

A an increase in fuel consumption;
B the impossibility of heating the cabin;
C the blocking of the water pump.

Explanation

For answer  A 

Frequent driving with the thermostat defective and with the coolant having a temperature below 60 degrees Celsius increases fuel consumption by up to 90%. The coolant temperature that ensures maximum performance, reduced fuel consumption and minimal engine wear is within the range of 90-95 degrees Celsius.


For answer  B 

Motor vehicles may have an air conditioning system that uses the air conditioning compressor to heat the cabin without using the coolant anymore. In addition, a temperature of 60 degrees Celsius is sufficient for heating the cabin.


For answer  C 

The water pump will not be affected if driving frequently with the thermostat defective, regardless of the coolant temperature.


The correct answer is: A
