Hyundai Sonata LF: Cooling System / Thermostat Repair procedures

Hyundai Sonata LF 2014-2019 Service Manual / Engine Mechanical System / Cooling System / Thermostat Repair procedures

Removal
   
Disassembly of the thermostat would have an adverse effect, causing a lowering of cooling efficiency.
1.
Drain engine coolant so that its level would be under the thermostat height.
2.
Remove the radiator lower hose.
(Refer to Cooling System - "Radiator Hose")
3.
Remove the water inlet fitting (A) and thermostat (B).

Inspection
1.
Immerse the thermostat in water and gradually heat the water.

2.
Check the valve opening temperature.
Valve opening temperature:
82±1.5°C (179.6±2.7°F)
Full opening temperature: 95°C (203°F)
If the valve opening temperature is not as specified, replace the thermostat.
3.
Check the valve lift.
Valve lift : 8mm(0.3in) or more at 95°C (203°F)
If the valve lift is not as specified, replace the thermostat.
Installation
1.
Place the thermostat in the block.
Install the thermostat (B) with the jiggle valve upward.
2.
Install the water inlet fitting (A).
Tightening torque :
18.6 ~ 23.5N.m (1.9 ~ 2.4kgf.m, 13.7 ~ 17.4lb-ft)

3.
Fill with engine coolant.
4.
Start engine and check for leaks.

    Description Continuous Variable Valve Timing (CVVT) system advances or retards the valve timing of the intake and exhaust valve in accordance with the ECM control signal which is calculated by the engine speed and load. By controlling CVVT, the valve over-lap or under-lap occurs, which makes better fuel economy and reduces exhaust gases (NOx, HC) and improves engine performance through reduction of pumping loss, internal EGR effect, improvement of combustion stability, improvement of volumetric efficiency, and increase of expansion work...
