Audi 3.0T Gen 2 (CREC) Thermostat Housing - Billet Aluminum

Billet Aluminum Thermostat Housing for Audi 3.0T Gen 2 CREC - Precision CNC-Machined Upgrade

Upgrade your Audi 3.0T Gen 2 CREC engine with our precision CNC-machined billet aluminum thermostat housing. Designed specifically for 2015-2018 C7 A6, A7, A8, and Q7 models, this direct replacement eliminates the common failure point of the factory plastic thermostat housing.

Why Upgrade from Factory Plastic?

The factory Gen 2 CREC thermostat housing suffers from the same issues as Gen 1 - plastic degradation, warping, and cracking over time. These failures lead to coolant leaks in the engine valley, low coolant warnings, and potential overheating. Our billet aluminum design eliminates this failure point with aerospace-grade 6061-T6 aluminum construction and hard anodized finish.

Common symptoms of failing thermostat housing:

• Coolant leaks in engine valley
• Low coolant level warnings
• Overheating or temperature fluctuations
• Visible cracks in plastic housing
• Coolant smell from engine bay

Features:

• CNC-machined from solid 6061-T6 billet aluminum
• Anodized finish for corrosion resistance
• Gen 2 CREC-specific fitment
• Direct bolt-on replacement for OEM plastic housing
• Precision-engineered and tested in the USA
• Eliminates plastic failure point
• Compatible with OEM and aftermarket thermostats
• Includes necessary hardware and seals

Installation Note: Requires supercharger removal for installation. Not compatible with Gen 1 engines - CREC only.
