They made of 2 plastic pieces glued together and leak. I used JB weld to reglue mine. If it doesn't work- 90 doll from dealer. It looks like thermostat housing, there is no thermostat in it.

Hi,

Did you have to take the whole housing apart to re-glue it? This giuy at autozone suggested I use a High Heat adhesive.

If you're talking about the piece on the top of the engine near the coolant reservoir, that isn't the thermostat housing. I have an '02 Sebring, 2.7L with the same problem. That's the air outtake housing (the thermostat housing is on the bottom of the engine). I purchased a replacement part and discovered that one of the four bolts requires a special tool to remove because it's in a tight spot. I eventually said screw it, it gets driven less than five miles a day and if you go easy on it (keep it under 2000 RPM) it never really gets hot (a dealership fix is going to run around $300).

That being said, if you did figure out how to get that frigging fourth bolt out, PLEASE give me the secret!

I hate that f*ing car...

Why in he** would you go to the dealer? I don't get it. Ask around for a good shop. Not all tech's/shop are dorks. Just this week I had a KIA that had just come from the dealer. The customer had a low brake pedal. The " DEALER " pulled the wheels and seen a wheel cyl leaking. He replaced the wheel cyl and adjusted the rear brakes up so hard the wheels would hardly turn. When I pulled the car in I check the front brakes, ther was lot's there but they rolled hard. Turns out the pads were siezed to the pad craddle. Tossed on a new set of pads and rotors for the man. He now has windshield brakes. If you hit the pedal to hard it puts you through the windshield. I am so tired of hearing about going to the dealership.
