Review on Gates 23192 Molded Coolant Hose by James Crofton

Revainrating 2 out of 5

The coolant bypass valve is in the wrong direction.

The bypass valve located under the radiator cap was pointing the wrong way, towards the tee and driver's side when it should be pointing towards the passenger side. I had to take a longer pipe for the overflow cistern and tie it neatly so it doesn't interfere with the other parts, allowing it to bend. Not a hard fix, but a sign someone isn't paying attention to quality control.

Pros
  • Belts, hoses and pulleys
Cons
  • Minor issues
