Description
This hose is produced in two types of materials: EPDM (high-quality) and SBR (standard). The reinforcement yarn used is polyester.
The primary benefit of this yarn is its ability to prevent water leakage, reduce water loss, and provide antifreeze properties to the hose.
Lifespan of the Heater Hose for the Euro 2 Injector Pride
The lifespan of the heater hose for the Euro 2 injector Pride depends on the material used:
-
EPDM: The hose made from EPDM typically lasts around 4 years.
-
SBR: The hose made from SBR generally lasts between 6 months to 1 year.
Signs of Damage to the Heater Hose for the Euro 2 Injector Pride
-
Cracking: Visible cracks on the outer surface are a clear sign of damage. The deeper and more numerous the cracks, the more brittle and degraded the hose is. In such cases, immediate replacement is recommended.
-
Swelling: Uneven swelling or bulging on the hose surface indicates deterioration.
-
Peeling or Layering: If the hose starts peeling or developing layers, it is a sign of poor quality.
Effects of a Faulty Heater Hose for the Euro 2 Injector Pride
-
Coolant Loss: The most noticeable effect is the reduction in radiator coolant. This can cause overheating of the vehicle’s electrical wiring, leading to potential damage.
-
Engine Damage: If the coolant continues to decrease, it can cause significant engine damage, including the possibility of a burnt cylinder head.
-
Hot Water Leaks: A damaged hose may result in hot coolant leaking into the cabin, potentially spraying onto the vehicle occupants.
How to Identify a Good vs. Bad Heater Hose for the Euro 2 Injector Pride
-
Surface Quality: A hose made from EPDM will have a smooth and shiny surface, while a hose made from SBR will appear dull and opaque.
-
No Pitting or Layering: High-quality hoses made from EPDM will not have pitting or the phenomenon of two-layering, which indicates poor quality.
-
Smell Test: A high-quality EPDM hose will have a sweet smell, whereas lower-quality hoses may lack this scent.
