MITZONE Upgrade Aluminum Coolant Thermostat Housing Assembly Compatible with Chevy Cruze 2011-2016 Trax Sonic 2012-2020 Buick Encore 2013-2019 1.4L Replace 25200455 55565336 902-808

I bought this after another one that I purchased on Amazon from another brand stuck open within 1000 miles (plastic version). The install is easy and includes gasket. Been going well now for about 1500 miles. I monitor temp via an app and ODBII adapter and this keeps the car a pretty constant temperature and opens when it’s supposed to. I do not notice that it’s running cooler as a result of the aluminum but it definitely looks better. I’ve also replaced the outlet on the other side with aluminum part as well.

I was skeptical at first from the other reviews. I have had a positive experience so far (~300 miles). The temps are great and no sign of sticking open/closed. No leaking at the mating surface or the radiator hose. For the price, the quality is surprisingly good. A nice looking (aluminum) addition to the engine bay removing the plastic thermostat housing. I will update if anything changes in the coming months. Will look to replace the other fail prone cooling components (Water Outlet etc.) as they show signs of failure.

I purchased this for my wifes Buick Encore after having the plastic OEM housing assembly fail for the second time. The standard plastic housing simply doesn't cut it in the high temperature, high vibration location on the Encore. Upgrading to this aluminum unit seems to have corrected the problem. It installed quickly and easily, and after a month of use I've found no problems. As this unit is all metal, the type of weakening that causes the standard units to fail should not be an issue. This will probably work for the remainder of the cars service life.

DO NOT BUY! Construction is all metal as stated. It looks like it could have been a quality part. The machined surface that the hose clips to is about 0.2mm too small in diameter. It WILL leak. This product will not fit, will not work, will not hold pressure, will not assist in lower temperatures. Due to the ineptitude of the designer / machinist that made this part, the only thing that this part can and will do for your car is cause the cooling system to fail. This WILL cost you a lot of money if your engine overheats. Do not buy this product, avoid it like the plague. Complete and utter waste of time, money and resources.

made of good quality so far no problem

Far superior to the OEM housing. Well made of aluminum with a quality seal. Have also replaced the water outlet housing with the MITZONE product.

Seems to be an ok part, the sensor plug was really tight getting the plug onto other than that so far so good ( hope I didn't jinx it) The factory part is plastic ( ok composite or plasitiglass) hoping the Alu last 100K ? Not a terrible job to do, 1/2 hr maybe ? I don't rush any more so I don't stress over time. Get yourself some torx sockets or be a hack and shove a 12 point on :(

Working good so far

este es el termostao adecuado para el cruze 2016 LT turbo 1.4 L

Excellent price and quick shipping.

After changing out to this thermostat, car (1.4l Turbo) threw up Code 89 persistently. Temperature gauge took longer than usual to reach its usual operating position. Turns out the sensor inside was faulty (according to my mechanic). If you want to upgrade your plastic housing, keep the original sensor and swap it into this aluminium housing.

A simple vista se ve de buen material. Pero presentaba fuga entre la cubierta metálica y el sensor a una semana de que se coloco. Compren mejor el original.

Great product and easy to install. Solved my overheating engine alarm.
