Product Overview

This thermostat with aluminium housing is listed for Chev Aveo 1.4 models and Daewoo vehicles using the A16DMS 1.6 16V engine. It is designed to maintain a consistent 87 degree operating temperature, supporting efficient engine warm up and cooling system stability.

Always confirm the thermostat type and housing shape by comparing the original unit to the replacement. Differences in hose angle or mounting points can indicate a variation not reflected in vehicle catalogues.

Fitment Guidance

• Confirm that the vehicle uses an 87 degree thermostat suitable for the A16DMS or Chev Aveo 1.4 platform.
• Inspect the coolant system for leaks, cracked hoses or contaminated coolant before installing the new housing.
• Clean all mating surfaces thoroughly to ensure a proper seal once the thermostat housing is installed.
• Refill the system with the correct coolant type and bleed air pockets according to workshop procedures.
• Monitor engine temperature after installation to ensure proper thermostat opening and coolant flow.

Installation and Maintenance Tips

• Allow the engine to cool completely before removing the old thermostat housing.
• Inspect the radiator cap for proper pressure retention, as poor pressure regulation can affect thermostat performance.
• Torque all bolts evenly to avoid distortion of the aluminium housing.
• Check the condition of the water pump, coolant hoses and drive belt during the same service session.
• Replace coolant at recommended intervals to prevent scale formation that may affect thermostat behaviour.
• After first warm up, verify there are no coolant leaks around the housing or hose connections.
