Product Description

This Cooltec thermostat housing is a crucial component in your vehicle's cooling system, designed to manage the flow of coolant and maintain optimal engine temperature. Manufactured from durable black plastic with multiple hose connection ports and a reinforced integrated design, it ensures reliable coolant routing within your engine bay.

This thermostat housing is compatible with select Audi and Volkswagen models, including popular vehicles like the Audi A1 and A3, as well as the Volkswagen Golf, Jetta VI, Polo 6R, Touran, and Caddy equipped with 1.6 TDI engines.
