[@Bryce-z9v]

@@largesquids Hi there, in the early days most cars were quite simple but not many were that well made. Most stuff was hand machined and hand assembled so there was more room for error. The modern gear relies on a good understanding of electronics. I found a workshop that did a broad range of machinery. Tractors, Farming and earthmoving equipment, cars, trucks of all different types right down to chainsaws. Every year the apprentice would only spend 2 weeks at poly tech and the rest was done by correspondence school. To get that job I started turning up and asking if I could sweep the floor for free. They gave me a job. I think too many youngsters do a course and expect they know more than they do. I just put my head down and did as I was told, learnt as much as I could. Just remember that not all mechanics are good teachers. All the best for your future, Bryce

[@christophermarshall5765]

That engine is the base line variant used in some of the A class Mercedes Benz cars. I drive a Mercedes Benz A180 that has that engine in it, with several differences. Mine is a 1.6 litre engine, and it has the “camtronic “ valve train for greater efficiency. The water pump is vacuum controlled variable impeller system that allows greater coolant flow at higher temperatures, and virtually no flow on warm up after starting. Here in Australia, the water pumps sell for about $400 AU$. The M270 engines are usually very reliable and will last a long time with proper maintenance.

[@greebj]

So they engineered a more expensive more complex water pump to do the same thing the thermostat already does? Why?

[@christophermarshall5765]

@ it works like a thermostat does, but without the mechanical element. Mechanical thermostats often fail before their service life ends. The water pump on the M270 Mercedes Benz engine isn’t as complex as you think. In fact, it has several advantages over the other types. The vacuum system works from engine vacuum, controlled by temperature sensor and computer. When the engine is at operating temperature, the coolant flow is like that of a normal car. When the engine starts to get hotter than normal, the coolant flow is slower, and the fan speed increases. Once temperature reduces to normal, cooling system operates as normal. Like other cars, with proper maintenance, there should be very few problems.

[@sqmotorsports9230]

Ok but a thermostat is what, $9.99? Seems like an answer to a question nobody asked.
