New Original Ford Thermostat 2.0 TDCi

The thermostatic valve with original code 1876476 is an integrated component with its housing in the cooling circuit of 2.0 TDCi engines, mounted on numerous Ford models. It ensures engine temperature regulation through control of the coolant flow.

Features

• Type: thermostat with plastic or metal housing resistant to high temperatures
• Flange diameter: suitable for standard engine connections
• Opening temperature: around 88–92 °C
• Materials: internal parts in metal alloy (thermostatized), reinforced external body

The valve is designed to ensure 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 the flow of coolant between the engine block and radiator, allowing:

• Rapid heating upon reaching the ideal operating temperature
• Full opening when exceeding the threshold of about 90 °C
• Complete closure during cold start, accelerating warm-up
• Stabilization of engine temperature, preventing overheating or underheating

It automatically intervenes based on the measured temperature, protecting the engine and maintaining thermo-mechanical efficiency.

Vehicle applications

FORD

• C-Max
• C-Max Van
• Focus
• Focus Three Volumes
• Focus Turnier
• Galaxy
• Grand C-Max
• Grand C-Max Van
• Kuga
• Kuga Van
• Mondeo 2 Volumes
• Mondeo Three Volumes
• Mondeo Turnier
• S-Max

DIPA recommends always verifying the compatibility of the spare part before purchase.

Typical defects

• Late opening: caused by overheating, warning light on refrigerant
• Permanent opening: causes prolonged warm-up times and high fuel consumption
• Leaks between thermostat and housing: caused by worn gaskets or incorrect tightening
• Mechanical blockage: due to deposits, impurities, or internal corrosion

Typical symptoms

• Unstable thermal settings, engine warning light on
• Constant fluctuation of dashboard temperature
• Increased fuel consumption
• Noise and early wear of internal components

A timely diagnosis of thermostat damage prevents engine damage, such as cracks or gasket failures.

DIPA emphasizes: in cars where this thermostat is installed, a overheating error is often found caused by damage to the water pump or cooling system, which also leads to incorrect coolant pressure. This error is often mistakenly attributed to the thermostat.

Conclusions

The OE 1876476 thermostatic valve is an essential component for efficient cooling of Ford engines. Its proper functioning guarantees various performances including optimal fuel consumption, rapid heating, and protection against thermal stress.
