What is the latest info on a good replacement of the discontinued AJ89486 thermostat housing? I need one for my car and can't seem to pinpoint the right item.
Thanks for any pointers.

 

Have you tried ebay or amazon, they both have listings.

 

Thanks. I actually ordered two, the one listed on Amazon from MILLPARTS and one listed on Ebay which the seller advertised as brand new and is the actual part number required. Both were less than $70 each. Will report back on any success fitting one of them on my car. Should anyone be interested in acquiring the one I don't use, let me know - then again, maybe I should just put it in the parts closet and keep for a future blowout... )

 

you should keep it. was rly rough getting that part for my 4.2

i ordered one in the us for about 200 USD + Shipping and Tax.

that part us do rare in Germany or even Europe

 

When you receive them, Do let us know if they fit.

In fact, I recently bought one on Aliexpress. The housing comes complete, with thermostat. You simply have to type the OEM number in the Aliexpress search
