Four Seasons Engine Coolant Water Outlet Housing Kit P/N:85985
Manage coolant flow out of the engine and seal the thermostat housing with the Four Seasons Engine Coolant Water Outlet Housing Kit (MPN 85960). It installs as a direct-fit replacement on the 2002-2006 Audi A4 and the 2002-2005 Audi A4 Quattro, both with the L4-1.8L engine.
The housing routes engine coolant from the block toward the radiator and holds the thermostat that opens and closes to regulate coolant temperature. Molded from thermoplastic, this kit comes ready to install and re-seal the outlet.
If a cracked or leaking outlet housing or a stuck thermostat is the cause of coolant seepage or temperature trouble, this kit replaces those components in one job. Diagnose the source of the leak or overheating before replacing.
