Product Description

This Cooltec THERMOSTAT HOUSING 80°C is an essential component within your vehicle's cooling system, designed to regulate engine temperature by housing and supporting the thermostat. Built with durable plastic construction, it features multiple hose connection ports and integrated mounting points, ensuring secure and efficient coolant flow through your engine. The 80°C thermostat setting helps maintain optimal engine operating temperatures, promoting smooth performance and fuel efficiency.

This thermostat housing is suitable for selected Seat and Volkswagen models. Typical applications include models like the VW Polo 9N (2002-2009) with 1.4 and 1.6 8V engines, as well as compatible Seat vehicles. Always confirm your vehicle's model, year, engine size, and engine code before ordering to ensure correct fitment.

Common symptoms of a faulty thermostat housing include coolant leaks, overheating, erratic temperature readings, and low coolant warnings. You may also notice poor heater performance or visible cracks and damage around the housing area. These issues can lead to engine damage if not addressed promptly.

It is recommended to replace the thermostat housing if you notice leaks, cracks, or if your engine struggles to maintain consistent temperature. Replacement is also advised whenever the thermostat itself is changed, as old housings can become brittle over time.
