2006 Toyota Blade Thermostat Housing — What It Does and How to Look After It

Based on Toyota technical sources — including the Toyota Electronic Parts Catalogue (EPC) for the E150-series Blade (AZE156/2AZ‑FE and GRE156/2GR‑FE) and the factory repair manuals for these engines — the 2006 Toyota Blade absolutely uses a thermostat housing (often called the water inlet). It’s a core part of the cooling system, mounted where the lower radiator hose meets the engine.

The thermostat housing on a 2006 Toyota Blade does more than just hold a thermostat. It forms the sealed passage that directs coolant flow out of the engine, anchors the thermostat in the correct orientation, and provides hose and sensor mounting points. When the engine’s cold, the thermostat stays shut to help it warm up quickly
