The heater hose end is a common source of coolant leaks for Chevrolet Cruze vehicles due to a weak plastic adapter between the hose end and the water outlet. Heat and age can make the plastic brittle, or the tab can snap off during service. This Dorman OE FIX heater hose assembly features a redesigned mating connector to eliminate the fragile adapter supplied from the factory, providing a more secure connection for a longer service life. For a replacement water outlet, Dorman offers the 902-846.
