Product Details

The Motorad Thermostat Assembly line focuses on OE-style cooling components manufactured to OEM specifications and processes. TA1051 uses a copper case and wax compound for quick response to coolant temperature changes, helping the thermostat react consistently as engine temperature rises and falls. The housing assembly is built with OEM-quality materials and safety standards from an OE supplier, making it a practical choice for Hyundai Sonata, Kia Optima, and Hyundai Santa Fe cooling system service.

This part cross-references 9TA1051 and 256002GGA5 for the same application.

Common Cooling System Issues It Can Address

  • Engine running too cool or too warm due to thermostat control issues
  • Coolant leaks at the thermostat housing or seal interface
  • Temperature fluctuation from a worn thermostat assembly
  • Check engine light concerns related to coolant temperature regulation
  • Service needs on vehicles with an aging plastic housing or seal

Installation Notes

Verify the OE-specified 180°F temperature rating before installation. Inspect the mating surfaces, replace damaged coolant, and confirm the seal seats correctly in the housing. Because mounting hardware and bolts are not included, reuse or source the correct fasteners as needed. Bleed the cooling system after installation to remove trapped air and confirm stable operating temperature.

Quality Assurance

Motorad manufactures this thermostat housing assembly to OEM specifications using OE-supplier processes and materials. The design is intended to meet the thermal response and durability demands of modern automotive cooling systems.
