I had a 2015 chevy sonic ltz sedan. I wish I knew that having a metal housing was an option because I went through 3 plastic OEM housings through the life of my car before I finally saw this one and installed it. The original part is garbage it WILL crack on you as it did for me and pretty much any other sonic owner. There are a ton of threads on how terrible the plastic parts are and that you should immediately swap it out for an aluminum one like this one. Do yourself a favor and save yourself car troubles by just replacing your housing even if yours isn't cracked yet, with this one. It was easy to install, I don't know much about cars or working on them and even I was able to crash course through the installation process. Good part, did its job, didn't leak, and was able to get my car back up and running just in time to trade it in for the new one I have now. 10 out of 10 would buy this thermostat housing.

Great price and it fit perfect 2015 chevy cruze and in metal.

This thermostat saved my car. My coolant no longer boils and my heater works great. Highly recommend. Easy install also 20 minutes I was done and I'm far from a mechanic.

I had an issue where my car was overheating; the coolant and oil temperatures were reading over 240*F, and my A/C wasn't working. After looking more into the issue I learned that my thermostat was stuck "open", which meant it had failed. I decided to get this instead of the OEM part because it is not made out of plastic for my Gen 1 2016 Chevy Cruze LT, and it fits perfectly. It was a pain to install because my hands don't fit very well in small places, but I still managed.Fixed my Issue with the thermostat and overheating but not the A/C issue; it turns out the A/C clutch is ALSO bad...But at least my car is running better now with this new part.

Definitely liked the looks of this Metal T-Stat compared to the stock Plastic for my 2012 Chevy Cruze and took a chance on it. I think this will fit all of the 1st Generation ECOTECH 1.4 Engines. Because the price is so cheap, and the fact this Type of Stat is electrically assisted, No doubt worried if it would work ok. So far , everything good with no problems with or without the AC on after a few weeks in the car. I was hoping this Stat would run a little cooler than the stock stat, but it appears it doesn't. Running temps will modulate between 217° to 223°. Stock Running Temps for the 1st Generation ECTOECH 1.4 Engines is 221°. I also have a 2014 Buick Encore with the same engine to compare running temps and it performs about the same. These T-Stats on the ECOTECH 1.4 Engines have an electrically assisted heated T-Stat . The only purpose of this is to Open the Stat Faster to sudden changes in Load. According to the manual, the Electrical heater in the stat starts warming up the Stat Element at about 194° and then the Mechanical part of the Stat opens at 217°. The newer 2nd Generation ECOTECH engines starting in 2017 do not have this feature anymore ( much better) and the Stat Temp is set at a much cooler 176°. The First Generation Chevy ECOTECH 1.4 Engines had a very bad problem with Overheating. Another thing that is not good about this design, is that IF the little heater element shorts out in the T Stat , it can blow the ECM ! Glad they got away from this in the newer ones. Will follow up this review with reliability updates after more time.

Good replacement for the stock plastic one.So far working perfectly. I was a little concerned about the gasket so l bought the Felpro repair gasket to be sure.
