Detailed Description

Motorad 757-176 is engineered for vehicles that require an integrated thermostat housing assembly rather than a standalone thermostat. It is built to OE specifications and processes, with materials selected to handle demanding automotive cooling systems. This makes it a direct-fit service part for applications such as Fiat 500 and Fiat 500L, Jeep Renegade, Fiat 500X, and Dodge Dart models listed in the fitment data.

This part cross-references Bosch 15387 for the same application. It also cross-references Dorman - OE Solutions 902-3041 for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Coolant temperature that stays too low or takes too long to reach operating range
