I had to replace my radiator and thought it would be a good idea to go ahead and replace the radiator hoses also. This upper hose does not seem to fit my 2003 Forester XT. Tried trimming both ends which got it close, but when I compared the fit to the upper hose I had removed it was obviously not nearly as good a fit as the old one as there was some buckling on the new hose when installed. The old upper hose is 3 years old, was purchased from Subaru, is a perfect fit, and is in very good condition, so I reused it. Did not want to return this hose since I had trimmed it. Some reviewers claimed that they got a good fit if both ends were carefully trimmed, so on the chance that maybe I was not careful enough, I have given this product two stars instead of one.

I used it in the radiator hose since replacing the thermostat on a diesel Jeep liberty is an expensive hassle. Since installing this, my diesel has run at the correct temperature.

I installed the noted radiator. Took about 8 hours for the do it myself mechanic w/o help. In my inquiry to Amazon on radiators I listed a 2000 Chrysler T&C with the 3.8 liter engine. They send a 3.3 liter engine replacement. Unfortunately, it fit perfect. I did not notice that the item sent had the hose ports on the same side. My old radiator has hose ports one on each side. Other wise the fit was perfect. I had to by a radiator hose for the 3.3 to resolve the issue since the removal and install are very tedious. I just finished, so I can't address the quality of the product, but it looks as good as the one it was replacing. This makes the third radiator for this vehicle with 145,000 miles. If and when it fails Ill let you know!

Was - and still is listed as radiator to pipe in the RX8. This hose (or the one they sent) was actually pipe to engine block...just cost several days of returns and reorders. Aggravating when you just want to finish the repair ang get the car on the road.

These are mislabeled on the website. It's actually the hoses that come out of the water pump to the coolant recovery tank and heater core lines (via t-fittings). Oh and it does come with the brittle T-fitting that broke while you were taking it out lol.

The hose is the correct length and diameter but does not have the funky OEM connection to the radiator. If you don't know what I mean, look for 97 expedition radiator on youtube. You'll see the lower hose connection is a 1/4 turn nightmare. I guess this hose might work with a hose clamp, but I wanted the OEM connection.

I redid my whole AC on my 3rd Gen 4Runner and upon taking a vaccuum on the system, I found a leak on this line where it goes through the radiator support. The line had been rubbing the radiator support for some time and wore a hole in this line. If i had done a proper diagnostic i would have saved myself hundreds if dollars by just replacing this line but oh well. Its a much softer metal than the original line but that can be a good thing because it easier to bend w/o kinking in such a way that it will not rub on the radiator support like before. When transferring over the low pressure switch to this line i highly recommend you use 2 wrenches (1 for sensor and the other to hold the sensor mounting bung in place while tightening) because I slightly bent the line while tightening it down. Use all original line routing clips and get new ones if yours are missing.  For extra protection, slice a 5/16 or similar vacuuum/fuel hose, length-wise to wrap along the inner edge of the hole in the radiator support where these A/C lines go through to get to the condensor, for protection againt metal-to-metal rubbing.

Unfortunately this hose didn't fit my vehicle.  Amazon's "does it fit my vehicle" database is seriously flawed.  This is the second time I've bought something for this automobile that did not fit.  I've got a slightly odd variant (AWD version) but I did check that box in Amazon's vehicle selector.  This vehicle has the heavy-duty cooling/heating option with a different radiator that comes standard with the AWD version and the lower hose is totally different because the lower radiator nipple is on the other side.

Unfortunately I did not realize this until after I had ripped the sticker off of the hose and written on it with the white paint pen I use to mark every part I replace with the date and miles it was replaced at.  So now I can't return it.

Make sure to have your mechanic pressure test the coolant and oil cooler passages before installation. Mine had a breach in the oil cooler lines that caused fluid mixing. This was a pain to deal with. I should have returned the radiator to the manufacturer to prove the validity of the issue (and subsequent transmission service required), but I returned to Amazon. The manufacturer still worked with me to provide some compensation for the damage caused by fluid mixing.

Well, this product saved me several hundred dollars in the very troublesome replacement of the PLASTIC radiator on my Chevy Express Passenger/Sports Van, in which every part is extremely difficult to reach. I put the product in, ran the engine, and the water temperature gauge went higher and higher for some minutes, before coming back to the normal range. The leak stopped but came back after a few days. I did nothing about it, since most of the product was still in the radiator. The leak was automatically sealed for a second time, but came back again after a few days. Then, finally, my radiator is sealed and the water/anti-freeze consumption has stopped.
This product worked for me.

It is a better option than replacing the OEM hose nut I don't see how anyone can attach the hose to the coolant reservoir without first removing the reservoir from the car.  Very tight fit!!! Otherwise I like the kit.

During a recent engine rebuild, I replaced all my coolant hoses.  This one fit perfectly after I trimmed a bit of excess length off it, but I'd far rather get a hose 3" too long than a 1/2" too short!!

I tried to save some money by purchasing this lower cost, after market part.  Other reviews were quite positive so I did not include my time investment as a consideration in the decision.  In this case I made a mistake.  It was a difficult part to change, it took me a little over an hour using a trick (found on youtube) to squeeze the harness out without removing the entire radiator.  The part ran good for the first month and a half (surpassing the 30 day return period so the $50 is a loss now).  It is now making excessive noise when it comes on and in some cases it feels like something is wrong with the car because the sound gets so loud.  It almost pulsates in the revs as they quickly seem to increase and decrease in speed.  I'm going to have to order an OEM part at this point and spend another hour of my time replacing the part again.  I should have considered my time investment up front and then I would not have taken the savings risk on this one.

The coolant pipe on the one I received was not clocked correctly. So, much so, that the hose could not be hooked up. Also, the gasket doesn't fit the recess cut into the throttle body, so you will jave to use your old one, or buy one.
