Motorad 1050-180 Engine Coolant Thermostat Housing Assembly

Integrated Thermostat Housing Assembly

The Motorad 1050-180 is an engine coolant thermostat housing assembly built for OE-style cooling system service. It uses a 180 Deg. F thermostat with a metal housing, rubber seal, and a copper case with wax compound for quick reaction to coolant temperature changes.

Compatible with 1999-2002 Oldsmobile Intrigue applications, this Integrated Housing Thermostat is built to OEM specifications and processes for direct-fit cooling system repair. The Motorad 1050-180 is a practical replacement when the original thermostat housing shows wear, leakage, or temperature control issues.

Product Details

Motorad’s Integrated Housing Thermostat line focuses on thermostat and housing assemblies that match OE specifications for fit and thermal response. This design combines the thermostat and housing into one service part, helping restore proper coolant flow control in vehicles that rely on a 180F thermostat setting. The copper case and wax compound are selected to respond quickly to coolant temperature changes, supporting stable engine operating temperature in demanding cooling systems. This part cross-references Wix 51050 for the same application.

Common Cooling System Issues Addressed

• Engine running too cool or too warm due to thermostat wear
• Coolant seepage at the thermostat housing seal
• Delayed thermostat response affecting temperature regulation
• Cracked or corroded housing surfaces
• Service replacement for a worn OE-style thermostat housing assembly

Installation Notes

Verify outlet port sizes, bolt hole spacing, and the 180 Deg. F temperature rating before installation. Replace the rubber seal during service and inspect the mating surfaces for corrosion, pitting, or debris that could affect sealing. Confirm the cooling system is properly filled and bled according to the vehicle service procedure after installation.
