What is mean by thermostate valve
The thermostat is a critical part of your coolant system, the system that circulates water and antifreeze (coolant) through the engine to keep it from over-heating. It is called a valve because it can open and close, depending on how hot the coolant is acting upon it. The reason to put a thermostat in the coolant system is to allow the engine to reach normal operating temperature quicker (and therefore operate at peak efficiency) than without a thermostat. When the engine is cold, the coolant is at normal outside temperature, so the thermostat is closed. This means when you start the car, the coolant starts circulating through the engine, but can't flow into the radiator. With a closed thermostat, the coolant just keeps circulating around in the engine until the car warms up, the coolant gets hot, and the heat acts upon the thermostat, causing it to open at a certain temperature (about 185-195 degrees F.), With the thermostat now open, the coolant can now enter the upper radiatior hose and flow down the radiator to cool itself down, before going back into the engine through the lower radiator hose. So the thermostat is always found on a car in the area where the upper radiator hose connects to the engine. Thermostat closed-water can't circulate through the radiator. Thermostat open- coolant is forced through the hose into the radiator. I hope this helps you understand the thermostat valve and why all manufacturers include them.
What does the yellow triangle light? I have piat punto car
Its the "Check Engine Light" also known as the CEL. If it is just "on" and not flashing take it to your mechanic or dealer and get them to scan the "On Board Diagnostic" (OBD) for a fault. Often CEL faults are minor and clear themselves. Is the car doing anything else?
If the light is flashing it indicates a major problem then you mustn't drive the car. Ring the mechanic and ask them what to do. It may require towing the car.
You can also contact the
http://fiatforum.com and ask the question there. Most car forums have plenty of members with deep knowledge of your vehicle and any issues it might have.
Yet another option is to purchase an "ELM327" Bluetooth OBD adapter on eBay for just a few dollars.. You then have a tool where you can scan the "CanBus" (connected to the OBD) and it will read the fault log. I recommend and use "Torque" - an android app for ~$4US to connect. First time you use it, it will save you money. Once you have the fault log, a few minutes googling the codes it shows will tell you what is causing the CEL.
