2017 Ford Kuga Thermostat Housing — What it does and how to look after it

Technical references confirm the 2017 Ford Kuga is fitted with a thermostat housing. The Ford Workshop Manual for Kuga/Escape (Section 303-03, Engine Cooling) details removal and installation procedures for the thermostat housing across the 1.5L EcoBoost, 2.0L EcoBoost and 2.0L TDCi engines. Ford’s genuine parts catalogues list a coolant outlet/thermostat housing assembly for these engines, and mainstream repair guides (including Haynes) and major aftermarket catalogues also supply complete thermostat housing units for the 2017 Kuga. So yes, this part is absolutely relevant on this model.

On a 2017 Ford Kuga, the thermostat housing is the plastic (or composite) assembly that bolts to the engine and holds the thermostat in place. It directs coolant flow out of the head and into the radiator and heater circuit, and often carries one or more temperature sensors plus hose connections and bleed points. When the engine is cold, the thermostat stays shut to help it warm up quickly
