  Q: How to service and repair the thermostat housing on Mercury Villager?

  A: The procedure for thermostat housing repair starts with cool system draining combined with upper Radiator Hose removal; this process requires removing bolt clamp and hose clamps before hose detachment. Start by detaching the water bypass hose through the removal of its clamps followed by hose removal. You must begin by removing the thermostat housing by unscrewing its bolts then taking away the housing unit. The installation process should include new hose clamps only while confirming proper seating of all clamps. Maintenance of cleanliness on the thermostat housing and its mating surface free of dirt together with old silicone requires immediate attention. Fill the Water Pump mounting surface with a 0.079 - 0.118 inch (2.0 - 3.0 mm) bead of Silicone Gasket and Sealant F7AZ-19554-EA or a similar product that corresponds to Ford specification WSK-M2G343-A4. After concluding the installation follow the reverse procedure.
