CarBole Aluminum Thermostat Housing Assembly for 1.4L Turbo GM Vehicles — Corrosion‑Resistant Direct Replacement

CarBole Aluminum Coolant Thermostat Housing Assembly for 1.4L turbo engines replaces the factory housing to restore proper coolant routing and reliable temperature control.

This aluminum thermostat housing assembly is engineered as a direct replacement for specific GM small‑block 1.4L turbo applications. It accepts the engine’s thermostat and integrates with existing hoses and sensors to control coolant flow. Built to match OEM specifications and finished in corrosion‑resistant aluminum, the unit is supplied with reference part numbers 902-808, 25200455, and 55565336 for straightforward verification against your vehicle’s original component.

Will this housing fit my vehicle?

Confirming fitment is the first step: this housing is made for GM 1.4L turbo models and replaces the original housing on the listed models. Cross‑reference the replacement part numbers or check year, make, model, submodel and engine details to ensure compatibility before ordering.

• Designed for: Encore 2013–2020, Chevy Cruze 2011–2016, Cruze Limited 2016, Sonic 2012–2020, Chevy Trax 2013–2021
• Replacement part numbers: 902-808, 25200455, 55565336
• Engine type: 1.4L turbocharged gasoline engines

How does the aluminum construction help my cooling system?

Aluminum offers high thermal conductivity and corrosion resistance versus many cast irons and plastics, helping the assembly endure thermal cycles and road‑salt exposure. The material choice helps maintain structural integrity at typical engine operating temperatures while resisting deformation and long‑term corrosion.

• Durable aluminum body resists corrosion and thermal stress
• Engineered to meet OEM fit and sealing requirements
• Reduces the risk of leaks caused by cracked or warped housings

Do I need anything else to complete the installation?

This part is the thermostat housing assembly only and typically requires the engine’s thermostat and appropriate gaskets or seals to complete installation. Verify whether your vehicle’s thermostat is reusable or if a new thermostat and gasket should be installed at the same time to ensure a reliable seal and correct temperature control.

• Thermostat: install a compatible thermostat if not reusing the old unit
• Gaskets/seals: replace any damaged or aged seals to avoid leaks
• Hose clamps: inspect and replace worn clamps for secure hose connections

What performance and reliability benefits can I expect?

When installed with a functioning thermostat, the housing helps maintain proper coolant circulation and consistent engine operating temperature. This contributes to efficient combustion, steady warm‑up behavior, and reduces the likelihood of overheating caused by a failed housing or improper coolant flow.

• Maintains correct coolant flow path for stable engine temperature
• Supports fuel combustion efficiency by enabling proper warm‑up
• Built to OEM tolerances to reduce retrofit issues and leaks

Who is this for: The CarBole Aluminum Coolant Thermostat Housing Assembly is for owners and technicians servicing 1.4L turbo GM compact models who need a durable, OEM‑style replacement. It’s suited for routine cooling‑system repairs, collision repairs that damaged the original housing, or preventive maintenance when replacing aging plastic housings. If you’re unsure about compatibility, check your vehicle’s details or contact the seller with your year/make/model/submodel/engine information before purchasing.
