The engine thermostat plays an important role in increasing engine combustion efficiency and reducing emissions. But today’s electrically assisted (also called “map-controlled”) thermostats provide broader and faster operation than the traditional engine thermostat.
BMW Tech Tip: 2E81, 2E82 Codes Lead To Replaced Thermostat, Water Pump
A vehicle benefits from an electric water pump in several ways. The pump is not belt-driven, which enhances performance of the vehicle, and it prevents the engine from being bogged down while the air conditioning is on. Another advantage of an electric water pump is the equal distribution of engine coolant throughout an engine because the pump’s propeller speed is not dependent on engine speed.
