Product Details

The Gates 18596 is a molded curved heater hose engineered for reliable coolant flow between the engine and heater core.

  • Constructed from high-quality EPDM rubber for superior heat and ozone resistance
  • Engineered to withstand high coolant temperatures and pressure cycling
  • Resists electrochemical degradation (ECD) that can cause premature hose failure
  • Maintains flexibility across a wide temperature range
  • Gates OE-matched construction for long service life

Thanks

GREAT PRICE, FAST DELIVERY, WILL BUY FROM AGAIN.

I found them doing a search for a clutch kit, they are hands down one of the easiest companys to work with and the prices cant be beat..... I looked everywhere

site has a lot of parts and accessories. Good prices. Just needs a better way to narrow searches down more.

So far everything seems good.

Order shipped 2 days after ordered <br>and hey gave me a tracking number which is cool<br>lets see hoe fast it will come

Please let me know when shipment is delivered. Thank you.

Customer Service was excellent. Their online website provided accurate product description and when I called to double check, the gentlemen handled my request with ease and professionalism. Thank you for providing the best pricing on great automotive products. My wife and I purchased a WeatherTech trunk liner that would have cost me over $100 retail price but was able to purchase from Autoplicity for much less!!! Thanks guys and keep up the good work!!

After seeing that Autoplicity was in good standing with the BBB and had favourable reviews reported elsewhere I placed an order on a Sunday evening. On Monday morning I already had a confirmation email and order number. On Tuesday I was notified that my order had shipped. Their price of $477 on the part I ordered was about $30 cheaper than Summit Racing, who I usually do business with, and the cost of shipping and handling was only a few dollars more. I haven't recieved the part yet but have no reason to think I won't be totally satisfied with the transaction.

iS THE THROWOUT BEARING INCLUDED?

I ordered some floor mats for a Prius. Autoplicity was very competitive in their pricing. Not only that, they shipped quickly and had great feedback during and after I ordered. I would purchase from them again!
