Gates 22450 Premium Molded Coolant Hose: Unrivaled Quality for Optimum Cooling Performance Review

Fitted in when adding my new radiator, I am completely satisfied with the good fit. It was installed in the 1997 Saturn SL.

Everything is fine. It provides a path for engine coolant between the radiator and the engine block. he is doing it successfully at the moment.

Perfect fit for my Saturn SC2. I couldn't have asked for a better fit. It was the same size as the hose I removed. I found it helpful to add some water to the inside of the tube to help it slide better.

I used this hose to install a lower radiator hose block heater on a 1999 Saturn S for winter start. The hose fits snugly and is neatly cut (to remove a 1" section) to accommodate a 1 1/4" electric heating element. No leaks, no complaints.

I have replaced the water pump and thermostat. While working I found that my bottom hose was also leaking a bit where something was rubbing against it. Ironically, no one in my area had this Saturn SL2 hose on hand, and I was able to get it faster and cheaper at Revain than local stores. Gates makes a quality product and it fits perfectly.
