Description
Material of the Long Heater Hose for Peugeot 405 CNG (Konfdar)
The long heater hose for Peugeot 405 CNG (Konfdar) is produced using two types of materials: EPDM (a high-quality material) and SBR (a more common material).
The hose is reinforced with 600 polyester yarn, which is crucial in preventing leaks, water loss, and providing antifreeze properties to the hose.
Lifespan of the Long Heater Hose for Peugeot 405 CNG (Konfdar)
The lifespan of the long heater hose depends on the material used:
-
If the hose is made from EPDM, it generally lasts around 4 years.
-
If it is made from SBR, the hose typically has a lifespan of about 6 months to 1 year.
Signs of Damage to the Long Heater Hose for Peugeot 405 CNG (Konfdar)
-
Cracking: Visible cracks on the outer surface of the hose are a clear sign of wear. The deeper and more numerous the cracks, the more brittle and degraded the hose becomes. Immediate replacement is necessary.
-
Swelling: Uneven swelling or bulging on the hose surface indicates damage.
-
Peeling or Layering: Two-layering (dupping) refers to the hose beginning to break apart into layers, indicating poor quality and the need for replacement.
Effects of a Faulty Long Heater Hose for Peugeot 405 CNG (Konfdar)
-
Water Leaks: A faulty hose can cause water to leak onto the floor of the car, especially under the driver’s feet.
-
Coolant Loss: A damaged hose will result in coolant loss, which is hazardous to the engine. If this continues, the car may overheat and the engine can “boil” due to the lack of coolant.
How to Identify a Good vs. Bad Long Heater Hose for Peugeot 405 CNG (Konfdar)
-
Surface Quality: A high-quality hose made from EPDM will typically have a shiny, smooth surface, while a hose made from SBR will appear dull and lack the desired gloss.
-
No Pitting or Blisters: High-quality hoses made from EPDM will be free from pits, blisters, or two-layering. If the hose exhibits two-layering, it indicates poor quality.
-
Smell Test: A high-quality hose made from EPDM will have a sweet smell, while lower-quality hoses will lack this scent.
