Hello Everyone,
I need to replace the thermostat housing assembly and I saw this deal on Amazon for $68!
vhttps://www.amazon.com/NewYall-Coolant-Thermostat-Housing-Assembly/dp/B09MKG83PP/ref=sr_1_1?qid=1679270396&s=automotive&sr=1-1&ufe=app_do%3Aamzn1.fos.006c50ae-5d4c-4777-9bc0-4513d670b6bc&vehicle=2007-20-97-105--1-6-7-2942--6-1-549--11&vehicleName=2007+Jaguar+XJ8
Has anyone changed their housing recent and can recommend a Manf/part# ?
Thanks!

Why take a chance on something so vital which could lead to the expensive engine overheating?
OE part is not overly costly: https://www.fcpeuro.com/products/jag...aguar-aj811793

Ok You convinced me lol I'll order an OEM unit today. I hate hate hate redoing a job due to cheap parts.
NBCat: Thanks for the advice. I'm going to install the entire Octopus unit, not just the thermostat housing portion... Other than using anti-seize compound and Dex-Cool, any other tips or must do for this job? Do I need to use any gasket sealer etc? I like doing pro work.
I'll probably do the job the weekend coming up
Thanks!

Job done! Installed the OEM thermostat housing today and all went well. Mmm not as simple of a job and not bad either. Took 4 hrs and that is because I snapped one of those small hard vacuum lines that I had to replace.
It fixed the P0128 code I was getting and the temperature needle hoovering constantly near the cold line. Taking forever to warm up.
Thanks everyone for the advice!

This pattern part looks great, but the price seems unbelieveably cheap. Not that I have much choice.....

Is this anygood. My 2004 3.5 has a cracked housing, and now Jaguar tells me the thermostat housing is no longer available.

"X350 Cooling parts"
Muppet company. Is the part tagging wrong or the description wrong?
