Review on ๐Ÿ”ง Dorman 902-808 Engine Coolant Thermostat Housing Assembly: Perfect Fit for Buick / Chevrolet Models by Doug Cardello

Revainrating 2 out of 5

In short: engine cooling & climate control

The standard thermostat housing for my 2013 Chevrolet Cruze cracked in March 2019. I've heard that the Dorman alternative was made from more durable plastic, which definitely seems to be the case. However, the thermostat itself failed only after 5 months. My car started overheating and I had to replace the thermostat again. This time with OEM parts. Too bad because I really wanted Dorman to like this part, but I don't recommend it as the part breaks after a very short time.

Pros
  • thermostat housing
Cons
  • repair
