Product Information

Aluminum replacement thermostat housing designed to replaced the failure prone OE plastic housing, comes with thermostat housing gasket

Plastic thermostat housing covers on M50 and M52 engines are notorious for cracking causing coolant leaks. This cast aluminum replacement from FCP is designed to improve durability and cooling system performance.

Engine Coolant Thermostat Housing

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.

Leaking after 1 month!
Gasket doesn't sit properly in the groove and it gets damaged. I've compared groove depth with OEM part and noticed that it's not correct!

Thermostat housing
1999 BMW 323i convertible, fits perfect, good price. Make sure to get the right rubber gasket/ seal, what comes with it does not fit.

I'm sure it does what it should but the casting finish was quite poor. Decided not to use it and to use another brand. Rough sharp edges all over the place.

Good upgrade
Replaces the plastic one. Fine fit. I put a bead of silicone around the edge when fitting it. No leaks.

It seals just fine and it’s nice to know it’s stronger than the factory plastic one.

Question Posted by Ken
What gasket does this need? Can the OEM BMW gasket be used as an upgrade?
Answer (Posted by FCP Euro Products Team)
The required gasket is included, however, you can use the OEM gasket if you'd like to.
Question Posted by blake
does this come with hardware to install? my old bolts snapped.
Answer (Posted by FCP Euro Products Team)
No, it does not.
Question Posted by Davindra
Will this work with the stock fittings on the coolant hose
Answer (Posted by FCP Euro Products Team)
This thermostat is for M52/S52 powered cars. There are no fittings on the coolant hoses as they use standard radiator hoses. Sounds like you may have an E46 chassis car since those use quick disconnect fittings on the radiator hoses/other hoses. If that is the case this part will not work for you.
Question Posted by a customer
Will this fit on my E46 323i ? Don't want the plastic need something more strong.
Answer (Posted by FCP Euro Products Team)
No, this will not fit an E46. E46's use an electronically controlled thermostat (connection on top of housing). Generally speaking the most common failure of E46 thermostats is the heating element of the thermostat itself, not the plastic housing.
Question Posted by a customer
Do I need any silicon to use with this housing to seal. Thanks
Answer (Posted by FCP Euro Products Team)
Silicone is not required.
