Anyone know where I can get a thermostat housing replacement and what it might cost?

That's a great question, and it's a common one for a car with some age on it. A thermostat housing is a part that can fail over time, often due to cracks or a bad seal, which can lead to coolant leaks and overheating issues. The good news is that this is a relatively common part, and it's something that you should be able to find without too much trouble. Here are the best places to look for a thermostat housing replacement and a general idea of the cost.

First, you can check with your local Hyundai dealership. They will have the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) part. The benefit of buying an OEM part is that you can be sure that it will fit perfectly and will have the same quality as the one that came with the car. The downside is that it will be the most expensive option, and it might be more than you want to spend.

Second, your best option is to look at aftermarket parts suppliers. Websites like RockAuto, Summit Racing, and AutoZone all carry a wide variety of parts for your Genesis Sedan. You can find thermostat housings from reputable brands that will fit your car and will be much cheaper than the OEM part.

Finally, you can check with a local auto parts store. They will also carry a variety of aftermarket brands, and they can help you find the right part for your specific engine.

As for the cost, it can vary a lot depending on the brand and where you buy it. You can expect to pay anywhere from $50 to $150 for the part. This price does not include labor if you plan to have a mechanic install it.

A few more tips for you:
- It's always a good idea to replace the thermostat itself when you replace the housing.
- You will also need to drain the coolant and refill the system.
- A thermostat housing gasket is very important, as it helps to seal the housing to the engine and prevent leaks. Make sure you get a good quality one.
