Coolant Thermostat Housing for Mercedes-Benz A2002000015

Product Overview

This Thermostat Housing Assembly is supplied for Mercedes-Benz applications and is catalogued against OEM A2002000015. Matching starts from the reference rather than from a picture, which is what keeps a container of parts out of the returns pile. This part carries the wax element, housing, seals and — on mapped units — the heater and temperature sensor that govern warm-up. The failure modes that bring it across a parts counter are cracked plastic housings and leaking sensor bosses, reported as a gauge that never settles in the normal band, higher fuel consumption and thermostat fault codes. It sits inside a cooling-system programme of more than 4000 types, so the same order can carry the neighbouring hoses, flanges and thermostat housings for the platform.

Key Benefits

• Mixed pallets instead of single lines — A cooling-system range of more than 4000 types means a slow-moving line can travel with fast movers instead of being ordered on its own.
• Tooling route for obsolete references — Where the reference is out of production, we develop the mould from the sample you supply rather than turning the enquiry away.
• Checked on the features that matter — Inspection concentrates on the opening temperature, the housing outline and whether the unit is map-controlled — the dimensions that put a part back in the box if they are wrong.
• Matched to how the part actually fails — Cracked plastic housings and leaking sensor bosses are the reasons this reference is bought, so those are the features checked before packing.

Application Scenarios

Warranty-expired fleet maintenance

A fleet past dealer coverage moves to independent supply and needs the same reference coverage at a working price. With A2002000015 on the list the rest of the coolant control circuit can be priced at the same time.

Counter stock for a busy platform

Mercedes-Benz volume in the region justifies holding the line on the shelf instead of ordering it in per job. This reference, A2002000015, is bought for exactly that situation on Mercedes-Benz vehicles.

Breakdown repair

The vehicle is off the road and the part has to be right the first time, which makes the reference match the whole decision. With A2002000015 on the list the rest of the coolant control circuit can be priced at the same time.

Who It Is For

• Fleet and bus operators — running Mercedes-Benz vehicles past warranty and buying cooling-system parts by the box to keep downtime short. A2002000015 earns its shelf space through repeat demand on Mercedes-Benz platforms.
• Radiator and cooling specialists — rebuilding cooling systems and sourcing the hoses, flanges and housings for a platform in one go. They judge A2002000015 on one thing: whether it matches the part that came off.
• Exporters and consolidators — shipping mixed cooling-system pallets into Europe, the Middle East and South America. They judge A2002000015 on one thing: whether it matches the part that came off.

Problems It Solves

Reference mismatch

Visually identical parts carry different connector geometry between model years. Quoting OEM A2002000015 fixes the identity before money moves. On A2002000015 that is settled before the quotation goes out.

Split ordering

Sourcing one hose from one supplier and the matching flange from another doubles the freight and the paperwork for the same repair. That is why A2002000015 carries its full cross-reference set on this page.

Parts that are no longer produced

When the original reference is dropped, the repair still exists. Sample-based production and mould development keep the line alive. For this thermostat housing assembly the answer is the reference, A2002000015, on every document.

Technical Features

The part serves the coolant control circuit and carries the wax element, housing, seals and — on mapped units — the heater and temperature sensor that govern warm-up. Material for this reference is confirmed per enquiry. The listed opening temperature is 83°C, which is the figure that has to match the vehicle.

Matched to the circuit the part serves. Confirm the compound against the reference before ordering, because visually identical parts are moulded in different materials.

Specifications

Values marked TBC are not stated on the source catalogue. They are confirmed in writing on the quotation rather than estimated here.

Comparison With the Alternatives

Use Guide

1. Confirm the reference

   Match OEM A2002000015 against the number on the part you removed. Do not match on outline alone.

2. Check the interfaces

   Compare the opening temperature, the housing outline and whether the unit is map-controlled before the vehicle is stripped further.

3. Inspect on arrival

   Look for transit damage on sealing faces and connectors. Confirm the compound against the reference before ordering, because visually identical parts are moulded in different materials.

4. Fit with the original clamp style

   Reuse the clamp type the Mercedes-Benz platform was designed around, and fit any seal or O-ring supplied with A2002000015 rather than carrying the old one over.

5. Pressure check before handover

   Refill, bleed the circuit and check for cracked plastic housings at working temperature before the vehicle leaves.
