About the piece:
The Thermostat Housing Gasket is a rubber or metal piece used as an insulator between the thermostat housing and the engine in Mazda vehicles. This gasket is intended to ensure a tight seal and prevent coolant leakage.
Its function:
- Prevent coolant leakage: Acts as an insulator to seal the gap between the thermostat housing and the engine.
- Cooling System Protection: Ensures that coolant remains within the system, maintaining proper pressure and preventing fluid loss.
- Enhanced cooling efficiency: Helps coolant flow efficiently, helping maintain optimal engine temperature.
Symptoms of damage:
- Coolant Leak: Notice spots of fluid under the vehicle or around the thermostat housing area.
- Engine overheating: due to lack of coolant due to leakage.
- Coolant odor: Notice the odor of coolant inside the cabin or around the engine.
