Faulty Hose Caused Engine Overheating

I purchased a radiator hose for my automotive repair shop and it turned out to be faulty .The hose ruptured causing engine overheating and damage to my customer's vehicle. The only pro I can think OF is the affordable price. However the cons far outweigh the pro as it caused unnecessary repair expenses and a major setback for my business. I would not recommend this hose to anyone in the automotive industry..

Pros
  • Durable and long-lasting
Cons
  • Difficult to install on certain vehicle models

Good replacement for the original rubber hose

Installed by the dealer when a new radiator was installed - no problems or complaints from them. When I was a young man I was told to never forget to put on fresh rubber when you put it in.

Pros
  • Materials specially designed to resist vacuum breakdown
Cons
  • Poorly thought out
