Made specifically for the 2008-2010 Chrysler Town and Country / Dodge Grand Caravan and Volkswagen Routan
The plastic factory \"Y\" fitting sits directly over the hot exhaust and becomes brittle and leaks, well before it is recommended to check and replace these hose assemblies and at a great cost.
The factory assembly is close to $200 and aftermarket is around $50, both still usea plastic Y.
Chances are you have alreadyreplaced this, possibly within the past 12-18 months.
Replace the leaking plastic fitting, not whole expensive hose assembly with our
TIGWELDED ALUMINUM TUBE Y.
Sure, you can rig up some type of work around using hardware store fittings andcopper or brass plumbing may be cheaper in the short term, but dissimilar metals increase the chance ofgalvanic corrosion and galvanic corrosion is what eats away atexpensive aluminum radiators, very expensive under vehicle tubing and very, VERY expensiveheater cores.
Aluminum isthe same metal as your radiator,heater coreand under vehicle tubing.
Everything you need to get back on the road is included, all you need are a screwdriver, pliers anda 99¢ storebox cutter to install this.
Installation is usually less than 15 minutes.
Cut out the leaking plastic Y, slip the new Y in its place,tighten theclamps and it’s done.
DO IT ONCE, DO IT RIGHT, DO IT FAST &
DO IT FOR LE$$ !
Emails from Ebay purchasers ,
- \"... simple enough for my non-car-guy husband to follow, and the part fixed the problem for far less than even just the manufacturer\'s part would have cost. And we don\'t have to worry about another plastic part cracking. We are thrilled. :-)\"
- \"...My best friendis the master mechanic at [DELETED] Chrysler Jeep. I showed him this part you made,he said don\'t hesitate, do it yourself. The plastic pieces are poor quality and almost all of them fail over short period of time, metal is better. Good repeat work for him and dealer! I ripped into that box on Friday when it came and followedthe video,EASY AS PIE! My friend would have done it with dealer cost of part and no labor charge but it still was worth it to buy from you. It\'s not plastic! Just wanted to say thanks!
For the DIY looking for a better alternative, the professional mechanic looking to cut down on call backs , or the dealership looking to cut time off of book rates, this item is for you!
We\'ve verifiedthat the plastic Y assembly has been used in the 2008-2010 MOPAR and VW line with the 3.3l, 3.8l and 4.0 with the rear heat option,but there has been questions of whetheror not this will workwith the 3.6 liter engine. As far as we can tell, the 2011 and up 3.6 SXTuses an assembly # 05058729xx which shows twoY splitters. So the short answer yes, but please verify it is in yourheater hose assembly prior to purchasing.
We\'ve also had customers use it it the Ford Explorer, DodgeJourney, Kia minivansand even in a 1960\'sMGA with a hot rod V8 Ford engine! It is 5/8 \" tubing and can be utilized in any make or model that uses a5/8\" splitter/Y fitting.
