A few years ago I had a coolant problem on my 2 year old Taurus van and took it to the local shop to have it fixed. Now it's time for scheduled maintenance with a full coolant flush. I decided to do it myself, so I searched YouTube for any clues or problems others had with my car. That's when I saw some videos showing the replacement of this heater hose assembly. I looked for it on my car and saw the whole thing was gone! I ordered this part and it fit perfectly and included all the clamps needed to replace the assembly my old mechanic made. I hope it resists rust better than OEM.
