Product Details and Specifications

The Dorman 902-5002 thermostat housing is engineered to meet the exact specifications required for Hyundai Elantra and Tiburon vehicles. Its metal construction provides strength and resistance to heat and pressure within the engine cooling system. The included gasket ensures a tight seal between the housing and engine block, preventing coolant leaks. With a 1.25-inch outlet port diameter and two mounting holes sized at 0.313 inches, this housing aligns precisely with factory mounting points. The 180-degree housing neck angle matches the original equipment design, ensuring proper hose connection and coolant flow.

Compatible Vehicles and Common Applications

This thermostat housing is compatible with the following Hyundai models:

  • Hyundai Elantra
  • Hyundai Tiburon

It is commonly used to address issues such as:

  • Coolant leaks around the thermostat housing
  • Overheating caused by faulty or damaged housing
  • Cracks or corrosion in the original thermostat housing
  • Improper coolant flow due to housing deformation
  • Replacement during engine cooling system maintenance

Installation Notes and Tips

When installing the Dorman 902-5002 thermostat housing, ensure the engine is cool before beginning work. Remove the old housing carefully to avoid damaging surrounding components. Clean the mounting surface thoroughly to ensure a proper seal with the included gasket. Use the two mounting holes with 0.313-inch diameter bolts (not included) to secure the housing firmly. Verify the 180-degree neck angle aligns with the coolant hose for correct installation. Since the thermostat is not included, reuse the existing thermostat or install a new one as needed.
