Citroen Xsara 1.4i TU3JP Thermostat Housing Water Outlet N1 N2 1997-2005

This assembly forms part of the engine cooling circuit. It provides the coolant outlet / thermostat-housing area where coolant is routed between the engine and connected cooling-system hoses. Depending on the exact vehicle configuration, related temperature-sensing connections may also be located on or around this housing.

These are reference images to help identify the correct Xsara body family. They are not photographs of the donor vehicle and are not used on their own to prove engine fitment.

REFERENCE 1 — XSARA N1 5-DOOR HATCH BODY SHAPE

Public-domain reference image. Engine/trim in the reference photograph may differ; match this listing by 1.4i TU3JP KFW/KFX and the actual housing shape.

REFERENCE 2 — XSARA N2 5-DOOR BREAK / ESTATE BODY SHAPE

CC0 reference image. Engine/trim in the reference photograph may differ; match this listing by 1.4i TU3JP KFW/KFX and the actual housing shape.

For this listing, visual matching has been given priority because the photographed complete metal assembly does not show a legible whole-unit engineering number. The original title references 1336.N1 and 1336.Q2, while the item-specific part-number fields do not identify a complete assembly number.

Return-minimising rule: do not buy the complete casting solely because one of those catalogue references appears elsewhere against a thermostat-related component. Match the complete assembly shape and your KFW/KFX TU3JP application first.

No additional cross-vehicle application is added here unless the complete photographed assembly can be confirmed by a matching whole-unit number or an equivalent catalogue record. That is deliberately stricter than guessing from engine family alone.

A correctly matched vehicle-derived component retains the mounting geometry, hose-port layout and connection architecture designed around the original vehicle application. That can reduce the risk of poor alignment, altered hose angles or connector-position differences sometimes encountered with very low-cost pattern alternatives.

A quality recycled component also keeps a serviceable part in use rather than requiring another new component to be manufactured. Depending on the component and current new-retail price, buying a recycled part can save up to 70%; actual savings vary by part, availability and market price.

Because this is a pre-owned component, always assess the actual photos and match it carefully. Correct fitment matters more than a low headline price.

Metric socket and spanner set • ratchet/extensions • torque wrench • hose-clamp pliers • flat/trim tools as appropriate • coolant drain pan • plastic gasket scraper/cleaning tools • funnel or suitable coolant filling/bleeding equipment • workshop light • gloves and eye protection • replacement seal/gasket/O-ring as specified for your vehicle • correct coolant to the vehicle specification.

1. Allow the engine to become completely cold. Secure the vehicle and open the cooling system only when safe.
2. Drain coolant to below the housing level into a suitable container. Dispose/recycle coolant responsibly.
3. Photograph the existing hose, plug and sensor routing before disturbing anything.
4. Remove intake ducting or other access items only as necessary, then disconnect relevant hoses/connectors from the existing housing.
5. Remove the housing fasteners evenly and lift the old assembly away without damaging the mating surface.
6. Compare old and replacement parts side-by-side before fitting: casting shape, bolt holes, hose necks, sensor ports, thermostat area and every connection must agree.
7. Clean the mating surface carefully. Fit the correct new sealing element where required. Do not reuse a compressed or damaged old seal.
8. Install the housing and tighten fasteners to the manufacturer repair specification for your exact VIN/engine. Do not guess torque values.
9. Reconnect hoses, clamps and electrical connections. Refit removed access components.
10. Refill with the correct coolant and bleed the system using the vehicle-specific procedure. Confirm heater operation and stable temperature.
11. Inspect carefully for leaks through a full warm-up/cool-down cycle, then recheck the coolant level when cold.

We can offer fitting/repair support on selected jobs subject to workshop availability, vehicle condition and prior agreement. Please message us through eBay before travelling or making arrangements.

We focus on organised vehicle-part reuse and clear fitment information so buyers can identify the correct component before purchase.

Correct identification comes first, then careful packing for dispatch. Please make sure your eBay checkout delivery address is correct before payment.

Please make sure the delivery address shown at eBay checkout is complete and correct. Orders are dispatched against the address supplied through the eBay transaction. We cannot safely amend a checkout address after purchase; if an address is wrong, the appropriate eBay cancellation/reorder process may be required.

The live listing currently shows a 30-day return period. eBay return rules and statutory rights always take priority over description text.

Please use the compatibility table and buyer matching checklist before fitting. A part being the same general type is not enough if the ports, casting, mounts or engine code differ.

Condition on return matters: where eBay permits a seller deduction and an eligible return comes back installed, altered, damaged, incomplete or otherwise with reduced value, a deduction of up to 50% may be available to reflect the actual loss in value. This is not an automatic restocking charge and does not remove buyer rights for a faulty or incorrectly described item.

Where this sale is accounted for under the Global Accounting VAT Margin Scheme, VAT is accounted for within the applicable margin-scheme rules and is not shown separately on the invoice. There is no separately itemised/reclaimable VAT amount for the buyer under the scheme.

Choosing a serviceable recycled vehicle part helps extend the useful life of an existing component, reduces avoidable waste and supports a practical circular approach to motoring. Every correctly matched reused part is one less component unnecessarily discarded and can reduce demand for new manufacturing and packaging.

Thank you for supporting ThePartPilot. Our aim is simple: clear information, careful matching and a better chance of getting the right part first time.
