It occurs because the hose liquid coolant and engine\/radiator ttings form a galvanic cell or battery.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis creates a chemical reaction which causes micro-cracks to form in the hose tube. Coolant seeps into these cracks or stryations and begins to break down the reinforcement.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis leads to hose failure and ultimately roadside breakdowns. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout Gates Automotive\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGates work with virtually every original equipment manufacturer worldwide to design products for new vehicles as they are being developed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThese strong relationships together with our commitment to continuous innovation enable us to offer a complete line of OE quality Radiator and Heater hose replacement products for the automotive aftermarket. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGates automotive parts are as good as the original or better.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Car Parts Shop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42224257073310,"sku":"01-0004","price":17.27,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0067\/8871\/0469\/files\/01-0004.full.jpg?v=1694458429","url":"https:\/\/carpartsshop.com.au\/products\/heater-hose-multi-fit-coolant-1-2-13mm-gates-01-4","provider":"The Car Parts Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
