Silicone Radiator Hose Kit Blue

The HPS Performance Silicone Radiator Coolant Hose Kit (57-2041-BLUE) is engineered as a direct replacement for the OEM rubber lower and upper radiator coolant hoses on the 1984-1993 Mercedes-Benz 190E 2.3 Sedan with the 2.3L SOHC engine. Constructed from high-temperature, 3-ply reinforced silicone, this hose kit offers superior heat resistance, capable of withstanding up to 350°F, and meets or exceeds SAE J20 standards. This upgrade ensures reliable coolant flow and helps prevent leaks that can occur with aged or degraded stock rubber hoses. HPS Performance Products specializes in engineered joining solutions for a wide range of industries, including automotive and high-performance racing. Their silicone hoses are known for their durability and ability to handle demanding applications, including coolant and pressurized systems. The multi-ply construction of these hoses provides robustness for pressure applications, while the option for fluoro silicone lining (not specified for this particular hose kit but mentioned in general product information) ensures compatibility with petroleum-based fuels and oils. This specific kit is designed for the 1984-1993 Mercedes-Benz 190E 2.3 Sedan 2.3L SOHC. While the provided evidence does not detail specific installation requirements beyond direct replacement, silicone hoses generally offer a more durable and heat-resistant alternative to rubber. The product is backed by a two-year warranty from HPS Performance against manufacturing defects, with specific procedures outlined for warranty evaluation, including obtaining a return authorization before shipping and providing an explanation and receipt. JM Auto Racing, as a retailer, also has a return policy for unused products within 30 days, subject to a 15% restocking fee.
