SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention proposes a method for controlling the temperature of a cooling water of a motor vehicle having an internal combustion engine, wherein at least one other sensor, for example, a knock sensor or a vehicle control device, controls the cooling water temperature. Used to determine temperature. The control device (2) determines a desired value (t soll ) from the supplied signal, where this takes place by means of a control loop (29, 31, 32) taking into account the knock characteristics. Here, the target temperature subjected to the closed loop control is used by the engine control device (8), and the ignition angle is set, for example, to the "advance angle" side. |
