New Original Ford Thermostat 2.0 TDCi

The thermostat valve with original code 1876476 is an integrated component with its housing in the cooling circuit of 2.0 TDCi engines, fitted to numerous Ford models. It ensures regulation of engine temperature by controlling the flow of coolant. Features - Type: thermostat with plastic or metal housing resistant to high temperatures - Flange diameter: suitable for the engine's standard fittings - Opening temperature: around 88–92 °C - Materials: internal parts in thermostatic metal alloy, reinforced external body The valve is designed for easy replacement and to meet OEM tolerances, preventing leaks and thermal malfunctions. DIPA offers a range of original and aftermarket spare parts of equivalent quality. Functionality in the engine circuit The thermostat regulates coolant flow between the engine block and the radiator, allowing: - Rapid warm-up to reach the optimal operating temperature - Full opening when exceeding approximately 90 °C - Full closure during cold start, accelerating the warm-up - Stabilization of engine temperature, preventing overheating or underheating It operates automatically based on measured temperature, protecting the engine and maintaining thermo-mechanical efficiency. Vehicle applications FORD: - C-Max - C-Max Van - Focus - Focus 3‑box - Focus Turnier (estate) - Galaxy - Grand C-Max - Grand C-Max Van - Kuga - Kuga Van - Mondeo 2‑box - Mondeo 3‑box - Mondeo Turnier (estate) - S-Max DIPA recommends always checking the compatibility of the spare part before purchase. Common faults - Delayed opening: causes overheating, coolant warning light on - Stuck open: causes prolonged warm-up times and increased fuel consumption - Leaks between thermostat and housing: caused by worn gaskets or incorrect tightening - Mechanical seizure: due to deposits, impurities or internal corrosion Typical symptoms - Unstable temperature readings, engine warning light on - Constant fluctuation of the dashboard temperature gauge - Increased fuel consumption - Noise and premature wear of internal components Prompt diagnosis of thermostat faults prevents engine damage, such as cracking or damage to head gaskets. DIPA points out: in cars fitted with this thermostat, overheating errors are often caused by damage to the water pump or the cooling system, which also leads to incorrect coolant pressure. This error is sometimes incorrectly attributed to the thermostat. Conclusions The OE thermostat valve 1876476 is an essential component for efficient cooling of Ford engines. Its correct functioning ensures benefits including optimal fuel consumption, rapid warm-up and protection against thermal stress. DIPA supplies components new, original and aftermarket of equivalent quality, ready for installation, with warranty and compatibility for all affected models.
