'cant find' Zetec thermostat housing WITH temp sensor

I know I am being stupid with this, as its not an uncommon part! I have a zetec, and I need a new thermostat housing, but I can only seem to find one's without the threaded bosses for the coolant sensors in it. Can anyone point me in the right direction as I have already ordered ones thats wrong!

THank you in advance

That does not look like it has screw in sensors ford used clip in sensors on some of their thermostat housings, Istr that you will probably need an early one from a silvertop mk1 Focus.

I had the same problem when mine started leaking, even tried the E-bay one but it doesn't have the screw in thread for the sensor. I ended up getting mine from a scrappy but they are a bit rare now and they could still leak. As mentioned the other way is to get one of the ebay ones and a housing to screw the sensor into in the water line.

I had a zetec one with the threaded insert - sold it to a chap on here - replaced with an alternate water rail and this
hose_sensor
hose_sensor

it was made by turning a collar and tapping M10, dropping the aluminium tube in the freezer and the collar in the oven. No leaks so far.

Mk1 Focus where all blacktops.



I Will be amazed of you find a new one as the last of the silvertops are now twenty years old.

For a s/h one you are looking at fiest/orion/escort or mk1 mondeo.

I had the same issue so had to buy second hand ones. But I've ordered a sensor adaptor for the pipework so I can buy new and cheap ones. I've seen people tap the non hole ones too but I wouldn't do that.

Good luck





Thanks

Thanks all! That is strange they have seemingly discontinued the threaded ones, as plenty of cars had them and they do fail! Annoyingly I could have fixed mine, but I threw it away as I assumed a new one was easy to get before I found out there was two types!

I wanted to try and not have lots of adapter plates, but I guess ill have to go that route

thanks again

Look for finis 1054291 , it has 2 screw fit temp sensor bosses, however is not a complete kit, just a bare housing and is ~£130.

For my Acewell sensor I just drilled and tapped a hole in the housing body.

The Ford part is actually £130 as well but mine is so close to the chassis if I hit a bump too hard I damage mine so I don't buy new.





Thanks
