03C121111AK Thermostat Housing For VW Audi Seat Skoda 1.4 TSI EA111 83°C
Product Overview
A complete coolant regulation assembly that integrates the thermostat, housing, and outlet flange. Controls engine temperature by opening at 83°C to allow coolant flow to the radiator, preventing overheating. Ensures fast engine warm-up and consistent heater output for VAG 1.4 TSI EA111 engines.
Detailed Description
The Thermostat, Housing & Coolant Flange Assembly (OEM: 03C121111AK / 03C 121 111 AK) is a premium-quality, integrated coolant control unit designed specifically for Volkswagen Group vehicles with EA111 1.4 TSI / 1.6 MPI / 1.4 MPI petrol engines. This complete assembly combines the thermostat, housing, and coolant outlet flange into one ready-to-install unit.
The integrated wax-type thermostat is calibrated to begin opening at 83°C, reaching full open at approximately 95–100°C. This ensures rapid engine warm-up when cold and proper cooling when at operating temperature.
Common Failure Symptoms:
• Thermostat stuck open – engine runs cold, poor fuel economy, lukewarm heater
• Thermostat stuck closed – rapid overheating, risk of engine damage
• Cracked housing – external coolant leaks, low coolant levels
