• Service leaks found during thermostat housing repair
• Cooling system maintenance on Saturn L300 and Saturn Vue models
• Replacement of a hardened or flattened coolant seal

Installation Notes and Tips

Inspect the sealing surfaces before installation and clean away old coolant residue or debris.
