Continuous heat cycling between cold ambient temperatures and pressurized coolant degrades the factory polymer, causing the mounting flanges and neck joints to warp and crack. This structural failure leads to sudden coolant depressurization, dangerous cooling system aeration, erratic gauge readings, and engine overheating risks if not resolved.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe Engineering Solution\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis upgraded assembly replaces fragile composite plastic with durable cast aluminum, delivering robust resistance to thermal shock, high system pressures, and chemical breakdown. Precision-machined mating surfaces are designed to ensure a flat, leak-free seal across the engine block interface using the included housing gasket and dual O-rings. The kit incorporates a pre-calibrated thermostat to maintain tight mechanical coolant regulation, alongside a high-sensitivity coolant temperature sensor to feed reliable thermal telemetry back to the powertrain control module (PCM).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1 Thermostat Housing Assembly\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1 Thermostat\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1 Coolant Temperature Sensor\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1 Housing Gasket\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e2 O-Rings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"overflow-x: auto; margin-bottom: 20px;\"\u003e\n  \u003ctable width=\"100%\" style=\"border-collapse: collapse; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0; font-size: 14px; min-width: 300px;\"\u003e\n    \u003ctr style=\"background-color: #f9f9f9;\"\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"padding:10px; text-align: left; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003eFitment\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:10px; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003e2011-2014 Chrysler 200\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"padding:10px; text-align: left; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003eEngine \/ Chassis\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:10px; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003e2.4L ED3 \/ JS\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr style=\"background-color: #f9f9f9;\"\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"padding:10px; text-align: left; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003eStock Output\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:10px; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003e173 hp \/ 166 lb-ft\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"padding:10px; text-align: left; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003eReplaces OEM Part #\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:10px; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003eN\/A\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e2011 Chrysler 200 (2.4L L4 Gas)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e2012 Chrysler 200 (2.4L L4 Gas)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e2013 Chrysler 200 (2.4L L4 Gas)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e2014 Chrysler 200 (2.4L L4 Gas)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions \u0026amp; Fitment Warnings\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eDoes this fit the JS 200?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, this is a direct fit for the 2011-2014 Chrysler 200 equipped with the \u003cstrong\u003eED3 2.4L\u003c\/strong\u003e engine. \u003cstrong\u003eThis kit does not fit 3.6L Pentastar V6 models.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eDo I need to bleed the cooling system after installing this kit?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, the cooling system must be fully burped and bled of trapped air pockets to prevent hot spots and ensure accurate sensor operation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe Chrysler Reliability Standard\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDaily commuting and stop-and-go driving demand sustained cooling integrity; swapping brittle OEM plastic for rigid aluminum delivers long-term durability and prevents stranded-vehicle coolant blowouts.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"VelocityMax","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67545427280120,"sku":"DS-EOXLT3AZ8","price":74.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0800\/1290\/2648\/files\/performance-thermostat-housing-kit-for-chrysler-200-2011-2014-2-4l-1.jpg?v=1790723838","url":"https:\/\/performancechiptuning.com\/products\/performance-thermostat-housing-kit-for-chrysler-200-2011-2014-2-4l","provider":"Performance Chip Tuning","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
