Dorman 902-033 Engine Coolant Thermostat Housing Assembly: OE FIX for Chevrolet Models - Optimize Performance and Reliability Review

These parts replace the plastic thermostat housing for 1.8L Sonic and 2014 Chevy Cruze, I have used OEM plastic 2 times and kept leaking coolant until I found out that this aluminum Dorman body did the "no more leaks" trick, Dorman has done it again

Perfect fit. Much better than the original plastic. I recommend ordering a metal coolant line that runs under the exhaust manifold. This is called the oil cooler line. There is a seal on this line and this part is cheap. Hence my leak. However, I'm glad I put on this case.

At first glance this product looks 100% better than the factory. It turned out to be an old and newlywed throttle body hose. I replaced it, started the car until warm and noticed coolant leaking from under the thermostat housing. It's too late to return now!

This would be perfect if the finish was up to standards. The hose connecting the thermostat to the throttle body has the smallest seam where I assume they are welded. We make a leak. No, the leak is not coming from the hose. If you look at the hose you can see that it is pouring out of the seams of the pipe. Part was fitted and all work done just to get to this problem. What an extreme waste of time and money. Find a sealer that will ban him for now. Beware of going this route.
