Motorad 1012-180 thermostat for the 2012-2013 Chevrolet Impala V6 3.6L and other vehicles controls coolant flow to hold the engine at its operating temperature. The valve sits in an integrated housing, so the thermostat and housing come as one assembly.
A thermostat stuck closed can let the engine overheat, while one stuck open can leave the temperature gauge reading low and the cabin heat weak. Before you replace the thermostat, rule out low coolant (checked only with the engine cool), a faulty temperature sensor and a leaking hose, since each can look similar.
It fits the 2012-2013 Chevrolet Impala V6 3.6L and the 2014-2016 Chevrolet Impala Limited V6 3.6L as a direct-fit replacement built to an original equipment design. Each of these engines takes one, and this listing is a single assembly.
