Parts for your 2014 Ford Falcon-Thermostat housing

2014 Ford Falcon thermostat housing: what it is, what it does, and when to sort it

Yes, a thermostat housing is fitted to the 2014 Ford Falcon and it’s a relevant service item. This is confirmed in the Ford FG/FG X Falcon Workshop Manual (Cooling System, section 303‑03) and the Ford parts catalogue (Microcat), which list the “Water Outlet/Thermostat Housing” across the 2014 Falcon’s engines — the 4.0L Barra I6 (petrol and EcoLPi), 2.0L EcoBoost, and 5.0L Coyote V8. Aftermarket application catalogues from major cooling brands also specify complete housings, seals and sensors for these variants, further verifying fitment.

On a 2014 Falcon, the thermostat housing is the bit that anchors the thermostat and forms the outlet to the top radiator hose. It manages coolant flow as the engine warms up, helping the Falcon get to operating temp quickly and then keeping temps steady when giving it a squirt on the highway or hauling the family and gear. On the Barra I6 it’s mounted at the front of the head. EcoBoost and 5.0 Coyote setups use a moulded housing with quick-connects and an integrated sensor.

Servicing-wise, they’ll want to keep an eye out for crusty coolant stains, a sweet smell, or dribbles around the housing seam and hose connections. Plastic housings can warp or crack with age and heat cycles
