🔧 Product Description

Genuine cast thermostat housing used in a Volvo Penta heavy-duty cooling system with coolant-pump references 20555507 and 20726081. It supports the thermostat and coolant outlet components and routes temperature-controlled coolant through the engine circuit.

🚤 Compatibility

Typically suits:

  • Volvo Penta TD420VE
  • Volvo Penta TAD620VE
  • Volvo Penta TAD420VE
  • Engine Family: TD, TAD

⚙️ Key Features

  • Cast OEM coolant-control housing
  • Interfaces with coolant pumps 20555507 and 20726081
  • Factory thermostat, outlet and sealing geometry
  • Used in Volvo heavy-duty engine and equipment cooling systems

🔌 Function

The housing contains the thermostat and directs coolant either through the warm-up bypass or the radiator/heat-exchanger circuit according to coolant temperature.

⚠️ Common Signs of Failure

  • Coolant leakage at the housing joint
  • Engine running too hot or too cold
  • Cracked or corroded housing
  • Damaged thermostat seat
  • Restricted coolant passage

🛠️ Service Notes

  • Clean both faces back to bare metal without gouging them, and check the housing and its mating face for corrosion, pitting and distortion before fitting
  • Fit a new gasket or seal, and fit the thermostat and its sealing ring the right way round with any vent or jiggle pin positioned as it was originally
  • Tighten the bolts evenly in stages to the figures in the workshop manual for your engine; these castings are light and pull out of flat easily
  • Check the hoses, clips and any sensor or plug that screws into the housing while it is off, and use sealant only where it is specified
  • Fill and vent the system, run the engine to temperature, and confirm the thermostat opens and the joints stay dry
