Product Information

Engine Coolant Outlet Gasket

An engine coolant flange is a connector or junction point in the cooling system, typically made of metal or reinforced plastic, that attaches hoses or pipes to the engine block or cylinder head. It serves as a pathway for coolant, directing it through various parts of the engine to maintain optimal operating temperature. The flange is usually equipped with gaskets or O-rings to create a tight seal and prevent coolant leaks.

Engine Coolant Outlet Gasket Failure Symptoms

• Coolant Leaks: A worn or cracked coolant flange can lead to visible coolant leaks around the flange area or under the vehicle, especially near the engine. This is often accompanied by a puddle of coolant or dried coolant residue on the flange or hoses
• Overheating Engine: If the coolant flange is damaged and coolant leaks, the coolant level may drop, reducing its ability to cool the engine effectively. This can lead to frequent or sudden overheating, especially on long drives or in hot conditions
• Low Coolant Warning Light: A faulty coolant flange may cause a slow leak, eventually triggering the low coolant warning light on the dashboard, indicating a need for a coolant check or refill
