🌡️ Gates 23927 Coolant Hose: Ultimate Cooling Solution for Efficient Performance Review

There would be no complaints, but the hose I revived had both quick-release couplings fitted incorrectly. Luckily for me they came with plastic hose clamps so I could cut them off and twist the disconnect connections. Two other hoses that I bought from the same manufacturer were present. I guess I was just lucky it slipped through.

I have a 2001 330ci. My lower coolant return hose was leaking next to the expansion tank. It took a little effort to remove it from the tank, but it was easier to remove from the engine. The new hose was correctly shaped and fit as expected. The alignment grooves were also correct and I didn't have to adjust the tubing to fit. I will change this rating if I encounter any problems.

This coolant hose is perfect for my 2000 BMW 328ci. Some considerations when replacing a hose: 1. Do this when the engine is cold. 2. Have plenty of coolant pans ready when removing the hose under the expansion tank, coolant will come out of the engine. 3. Remove the air cleaner housing to access the hose on the engine side. 4. Be careful and use a plastic tool if the hose connections are tight. 5. Good luck! This hose change should be an easy task!

I've had to replace that hose that goes from the coolant reservoir to the pipe that goes to the rear end of the timing chain cover, often one of those types of locking fittings will be bad o-rings but I had one that was about 15 years old and definitely needed replacing! I've always liked Gates and O'Reilly wears Gates. However, I would rather buy here at Revain and save a lot of money. I have no idea how much I saved doing this, but I guarantee at least $5.

This item is not the same as shown. He uses cheap plastic mounting straps instead of metal clips on the ends to attach the rubber to the plastic fittings. The rubber hose itself also looks of poor quality. To be honest, I didn't install it on my E46 because I wasn't sure about this detail. I almost suspected it might be the fake part. (See photos) Honestly it looks like it would fit very well, I just don't believe in its quality.
