Installation Notes and Tips
Confirm the vehicle is a 2016-2018 Chevrolet Volt with the water pump-mounted thermostat housing before ordering. Transfer or replace the gasket as required for the repair, and inspect the mating surfaces, coolant condition, and nearby hoses before installation. Because mounting hardware is not included, reuse or source the correct fasteners separately if needed. After installation, refill and bleed the cooling system according to the vehicle service procedure.
