Product Information
Thermostats are a simple device that regulates coolant flow through the engine. When cold it will stay closed, stopping coolant flow and helping the engine warm up faster. Once up to temperature, it will open and allow normal coolant flow and maintain proper engine temperature.
For many applications, multiple temperature ratings are available. These ratings denote when the thermostat opens, and in extreme climates, different temperature ratings can be used to assist the vehicle in maintaining proper temperatures. In very hot desert climates, for instance, a lower temperature-rated thermostat may be preferred.
There are two types of thermostat failures:
Thermostat stuck open (most common): Coolant will flow through the engine constantly from cold, preventing the engine from reaching operating temperature. Usually, this means a rich mixture resulting in poor fuel mileage and potential catalytic converter damage.
Thermostat stuck closed: If the thermostat is stuck closed it will restrict flow into the engine resulting in an overheating condition, resulting in potential catastrophic engine damage.
The engine coolant thermostat housing is the component that houses the thermostat, which regulates the flow of coolant to and from the engine. The thermostat housing connects the engine to the radiator via hoses and helps control the engine’s operating temperature by opening and closing based on coolant temperature. In some vehicles, the thermostat housing also has additional connections for sensors or other cooling system components.
Engine Coolant Thermostat Housing Failure Symptoms- Coolant Leaks: A common sign of a failing thermostat housing is a coolant leak. This can happen if the housing becomes cracked, or corroded, or if the gasket that seals the housing fails.
- Engine Overheating: If the thermostat housing is damaged or the thermostat inside it is stuck in the closed position, it can prevent coolant from circulating properly through the engine.
- Erratic Temperature Readings: A malfunctioning thermostat or housing can cause the engine’s temperature to fluctuate. You may notice that the temperature gauge on the dashboard moves unpredictably, indicating that the coolant flow is not being properly regulated.
