Check the seal around the housing to ensure it is intact and properly seating. If the seal has been damaged, you should replace it before replacing your thermostat housing.

This may require filing down the excess material if it extends past the housing. 2) Check the gap between the seal and the housing to ensure that it is around 0.5 mm.
