Secure your thermostat housing correctly with this Genuine Nissan Thermostat Housing Front Short Bolt, designed to suit Nissan Patrol GQ Y60 and GU Y61 models fitted with the TD42 diesel engine. Three bolts hold the thermostat body to the cylinder head, and this 80mm bolt is positioned at the top left of the housing, clamping it down to create the critical seal against the housing gasket.

Thermostat housing bolts live in a hot, wet environment, which makes them prone to corrosion and damage over time. A corroded or damaged bolt can stop the housing from sealing properly, leading to coolant leaks and, if left unaddressed, a cooling system failure that leaves you stranded. For the sake of a few dollars, it's well worth replacing it with the factory original.

Manufactured to Genuine Nissan specifications from high-strength steel, this bolt is cut to the correct 80mm length for proper clamping force. It's a direct-fit replacement, making it the correct choice for a thermostat change, coolant service, or any job requiring housing removal on your Nissan Patrol.
