Product Description

This Cooltec thermostat housing 87°C is a key component in your vehicle's cooling system, designed to maintain optimal engine temperature by regulating coolant flow. The assembly is constructed from durable black plastic and features multiple hose ports and an integrated electrical connector, ensuring precise control and easy integration with your engine's electronics.

This thermostat housing is suitable for specific VW models, including the Golf V and Touran 1.6 FSI. Due to variations in engine codes and model years, it is essential to confirm compatibility with your vehicle's exact specifications before ordering.

Common symptoms of a faulty thermostat housing include coolant leaks around the housing, engine overheating, erratic temperature gauge readings, or the engine taking too long to reach operating temperature. You may also notice loss of coolant, low heater output, or warning lights on the dashboard.

Thermostat housings should be replaced if they are cracked, warped, or the thermostat inside is stuck open or closed. Replacement is also recommended if you are experiencing persistent cooling issues or coolant leaks at the housing junction.
