Misleading & Brittle Hose

As a result of my tests, I determined that this hose easily cracks and leaks after minimal usage. I had to constantly refill my coolant causing a major inconvenience.

Pros
  • None
Cons
  • Brittle & Damages with ease

Short parts life

Used this hose on my 2003 Ford Focus. The hose installed in January fails, now March 8 is only 2 months old. The hose is leaking at the factory connection.

Pros
  • Designed to resist electrochemical degradation, the number one cause of hose failure
Cons
  • Protection

Pros
  • Specially designed materials to resist vacuum breakage
Cons
  • Modern
