EcoBoost 1.6L Manual Thermostat 82-degs

THERM-ECO1.6-STAT-01

Manual thermostat 82-degree, which can be fitted into the 1.6L EcoBoost thermostat housing THERM-ECO1.6-HSG-01.  Includes an O-ring.

This thermostat is used if you are using a mechanical water pump and not an electric water pump.

If using an electric water pump
The way to seal the housing is to use a standard thermostat assembly which comes with a seal and then to cut the thermostat out of the centre. That way the seal is located correctly and the water can then flow through the remainder of the housing.

You can either cut the legs that hold the thermostat in place or carefully grind where the legs are spot welded or peened through the main body, so only the housing remains. The hole size in the centre does create any restriction so does not require any further modification.
