This was not a direct fit as stated on the website and you will need to change it. O-rings do not seal properly. And Mishimoto wants me to provide everything. Great customer service Mishimoto!
Product looks great but ends there. Adapt a factory reservoir (I haven't tested it) to a Mashimoto reservoir, be sure to use RTV silicone, or get ready for a waterfall. The upper hose also needs to be twisted slightly to keep it from being scratched by the factory fan. I got it working, I'm sure you can.
This hose kit was part of a preventative maintenance water pump replacement project. They are indeed OEM replacements. Mishimoto R&D is perfect for this application as the fit was perfect. Some people want OEM replacement parts (so order them black), but I liked adding some bling and letting people know the job was done with the new parts. It's worth using Mishimoto's upgraded parts with OEM clutches, as is the case with OEM plastic clutches. become brittle over time and can be a source ofโฆ
Arrived 3 days early! I will update the review after installation and will update again after testing the drive. So far so good, you look and feel great too! OE or OEM. It breathes only lightly and lets through the smallest trickle of coolant. The description says it's aftermarket fit and the website says the same. The bottom line is that if your material isn't genuine, one of the best cooling system manufacturer parts isn't going to match the ALL JOINT! Hope this helps you! fits perfectly.)
