Review on Dorman 902 702 Bypass Hose by Eric Fuego

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great part, poorly designed car

On the one hand I like the availability and price of this part, on the other hand I wish the 12 year old VW didn't want every plastic part in the cooling system to rot would have to replace. There's a lot of plastic in there. It went, the Y-pipe went, the seemingly useless plastic coupling failed, and then the coolant outlet pump exploded. It's ridiculous, especially on a well-maintained car with relatively low mileage. I decided to sell the car after discovering a rotten rat's nest ie a PCV system.

Pros
  • Economical and reliable - offers OE quality at a lower price than a dealer replacement
Cons
  • Functionality
