- Part of your vehicle’s cooling system
- Holds the coolant thermostat

Your vehicle needs coolant to help control your engine's temperature and keep it from overheating. The coolant thermostat checks your engine’s temperature and controls the flow of coolant. When your vehicle heats up, the thermostat opens, allowing the coolant to circulate throughout your engine. Once the engine reaches the right temperature again, the coolant returns to your radiator to cool back down. This essential thermostat needs a place to live, and that's where the Engine Coolant Thermostat Housing comes in.

Be on the lookout for any puddles beneath your engine bay that are greasy and pink, yellow, or green.
