022121117C Volkswagen housing

This part basically holds the thermostat in place, and more importantly, it creates a seal between the coolant flowing from the engine and the radiator. It’s where the coolant exits the engine, goes through the thermostat to regulate temperature, then heads out to get cooled. It has gaskets—seals—that prevent leaks, and usually has ports for sensors too, like the coolant temperature sensor. It’s a pretty critical part of your cooling system. The engine makes a lot of heat, and the coolant circulates to keep it from overheating. The thermostat housing is right in the middle of that circulation. Coolant flows through it, and the thermostat inside controls how much gets to the radiator. If this housing cracks or starts leaking, you’re going to have cooling system problems, pretty quickly. It acts like a shield protecting the vital parts within and keeping everything sealed up. You’ll notice if it’s failing, usually with a coolant leak under the car, or the temperature gauge climbing higher than normal. Even a small leak can cause big headaches – overheating can damage your engine, and that gets expensive fast. You can find a replacement housing pretty easily, something like Fixparts Online has a good selection, and it's a relatively straightforward repair for someone comfortable working on cars. Ignoring a bad housing just makes things worse, so it’s best to get it sorted out as soon as you spot a problem. Customer-approved reliability: Housing (MPN 022121117C) includes a 12-month warranty!
