@EvripidisHi, the "MAP Cotnrolled" is implemented via a heating element. The heating element warms up the thermostat thus achieving an early activation. There is no solenoid, actuator, transducer or the like.
What would be the purpose of "early activation"? The purpose of a thermostat is to keep areas of the engine above a certain temperature. The FSi (1.4 and 1.6) has two thermostats, one for the block and one for the cylinder head, both in the same housing.Hi, the "MAP Cotnrolled" is implemented via a heating element.
