Review on πŸ”— Gates 22498 Reinforced Hose by Mariqn Carey

Revainrating 5 out of 5

like other reviews here

This hose meets Gates quality expectations. . . However, like the other reviews here, it's too long on both ends (by about an inch and a half) for a 2007 Forester. But even after trimming to the correct length, it is also THICKER than the original hose and as such OEM clamps are difficult to reattach at best once the hose is in place. It is necessary to have a set of screw clamps ready.

Pros
  • Specially engineered materials resist collapsing in vacuum
Cons
  • Weight
