Product Details and Specifications

The Dorman 902-2079 thermostat housing is engineered to meet the exact requirements of Saturn vehicles listed in its fitment. The metal construction provides resistance to heat and corrosion, essential for maintaining engine cooling system integrity. The included gasket ensures a tight seal between the housing and engine block, preventing coolant leaks. With two mounting holes sized at 0.313 inches, installation aligns with factory mounting points. The 45-degree neck angle is designed to accommodate the coolant hose routing specific to these Saturn models. This housing does not include a thermostat or bolts, so those components must be sourced separately if needed.

  • Saturn SC, SC1, SC2
  • Saturn SL, SL1, SL2
  • Saturn SW1, SW2

It is ideal for replacing worn or damaged thermostat housings that can cause coolant leaks, overheating, or poor engine temperature regulation.

Common Issues Addressed by This Thermostat Housing

  • Coolant leaks due to cracked or warped housing

Installation Notes and Tips

  • Ensure the engine is cool before beginning installation to avoid burns
  • Use the included gasket to prevent coolant leaks; do not reuse old gaskets
  • Check mounting holes and hardware for proper fit; bolts are not included
  • Verify the 45-degree neck angle aligns with the coolant hose
  • Inspect the thermostat separately as it is not included with this housing
