I have a Fiat Bravo 1.9 TD 75HP an it comes with a heating element on top of
the diesel filter.
I would like to know whether this element is constantly heating the diesel
or is it controlled by a thermostat?
It has two electrical connections (2x2 wires).

Thanks in advance.

It is controlled by a thermostat. In fact is probably controlled by the 
engine management system which is fed by a fuel temperature sensor if it is 
a newish design of vehicle.
