Detailed Description

Dorman 902-031 is engineered to match the fit and durability of the original engine coolant water outlet on select vehicles. It is designed for cooling-system service where the outlet housing must maintain a secure seal and stable coolant flow under extreme temperature changes. This part cross-references Motorad CH1002 for the same application. Common fitment includes 2006-2009 Ford Fusion, 2005-2008 Ford Escape, 2003-2005 Ford Taurus, and related Mazda Tribute, Mercury Milan, Mercury Mariner, Mercury Sable, and Lincoln Zephyr applications. If you are replacing a leaking or cracked coolant outlet on a Ford Fusion, Mazda Tribute, or Mercury Milan, Dorman 902-031 provides the correct OE-style replacement format.

What It Helps Fix

• Coolant leaks at the water outlet housing
• Cracked or heat-damaged plastic outlet bodies
• Failed sealing surfaces at the gasket or O-ring interface
• Cooling-system service issues caused by a worn outlet neck
• Sensor-related replacement needs when servicing the outlet assembly

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the outlet neck angle, outlet diameter, and mounting-hole layout against the original part before installation. Clean the mating surfaces thoroughly, inspect the surrounding hoses and sensor connection, and replace any damaged seals or brittle coolant lines during service. Confirm fitment for your exact year, make, and model before ordering; this part is listed for 2003-2011 applications across Ford, Mazda, Mercury, and Lincoln platforms.

Quality Assurance

Dorman designs replacement cooling-system components to match OE fit and service requirements for specified vehicles. This part is built to withstand repeated temperature changes in normal engine operation and is intended as a direct replacement for the original coolant outlet assembly.
