Acommon problem with the 2008-2011 Mopar/VW minivans.
Theplastic Y fitting which sits directly over the hot exhaust becomes brittle and leaks, well before it is recommended to check and replace the hoses.
Until now the only way to fix this was to replace the whole hose assembly, the factory part is close to $200.00 !
Now you can replace the leaking plastic fitting with an ALUMINUM alternative, with our
TIGWELDED ALUMINUM TUBE Y repair kit.
Using hardware store fittings such as copper or brass may be cheaper in the short term, but dissimilar metals increase the chance ofgalvanic corrosion and possible damage to your expensive aluminum radiator, 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 after the factory molded clamps,
slip the new Y in its place,
install 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!
This item is manufactured in the USA specifically for the2008-2010 Chrysler Town and Country, Dodge Grand Caravan or VWRoutan, from TIG welded 6061 T6 aluminum tubing.
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 isplease check 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 asplitterY fitting.
