Engine Coolant Thermostat Housing Overview

Motorad CH1026 is an engine coolant thermostat housing built for lower cooling-system applications on select Kia and Hyundai vehicles. It is manufactured to OEM quality standards, uses proprietary material, and is thermal shock validated and 100% leak tested.

Key Features

  • Plastic housing with a black finish for a direct-fit cooling-system replacement.
  • Rubber seal included for a complete sealing interface.
  • Two mounting holes for secure installation.
  • OE supplier manufacturing standards for consistent fit and function.
  • Thermal shock validated and leak tested for cooling-system integrity.

Detailed Description

This Motorad thermostat housing, part number CH1026, is designed for lower engine coolant water outlet applications where a sealed coolant passage is required. The housing is made from plastic and includes a rubber seal, with a compact design that uses two mounting holes and multiple outlet ports to match the cooling-system layout used on select Kia Sportage, Kia Sorento, Kia Optima, Hyundai Sonata, Hyundai Santa Fe, Hyundai Santa Fe Sport, and Hyundai Tucson applications. If you are replacing a worn or leaking thermostat housing on a Kia Sportage or Hyundai Sonata, CH1026 provides a direct replacement format for the specified fitments. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 9CH1026, 256202GGA0) for the same application.

What It Helps Address

  • Coolant leaks at the thermostat housing or water outlet connection.
  • Cracked or heat-damaged plastic housing surfaces.
  • Seal failure that can lead to coolant loss.
  • Cooling-system service needs on lower outlet assemblies.
  • Fitment issues caused by a mismatched replacement housing.
