I like your videos, but you always talk about leaving a link to an item in the description below and you never do. A part number for that hose would make it a lot easier for the viewers to order the same part.
Love you long time.. I did everything and bought everything and I was wondering where did I go wrong. I replaced the reservoir and water outlet pipe and to find out here that it's the hose
Buying all of the hoses online was MUCH cheaper than buying the hoses from GM. And yes, you can find quality parts for all of the hoses, I am actually replacing all of them in my roommates' 2011 Cruze right after I watch this and a few other videos. I also recommend that since the coolant reservoir tank likes to crack, buying one that has reinforcements in the barbs like my roommates did as well.
The new replacement hoses do away with that extra clip connection….The hose is made straight to the piece that goes in the water outlet…Way better design
I have the exact same problem with this hose, it;s a disease with all of them, my car is an Opel Adam S, same parts from GM. BTW – really good videos !!!
Appreciate the video!! Question, I’m in the middle of this project, and when I remove the connection to the water outlet valve, the coolant is streaming out. Is this normal? I didn’t notice any in your video. Thanks in advance!
Sad thing is, it’s designed like this so you can keep spending money! Very sad! Very cheap plastic and dumb design!! Lol. Get yourself a Toyota Corolla. Trust me. Only buy a Chevy if you’re buying a higher end car. It’s made a little bit better, but in terms of quality for the buck. Toyota is king!
With your videos I was able to successfully replace my cracked water outlet part with a new one but now the water outlet hose is leaking by the metal pin. I’ll try to replace the hose with a new one and see how that goes. Update: The tip of hose isn’t broken like in video but it doesn’t seem secure because coolant still seeps through
As of 05-01-2020 Dorman makes an aftermarket part 626-609. It looks a little different but is holding up well for my wife's 2014 cruze. Will update after 6 months. Also it came with lifetime warranty so that was awesome for 21.00 in CA. If I were to do this all over I would replace 3 things all at once the outlet hose, the reservoir and the outlet coolant vavle( its on the right side of the motor, mechanic perspective). The reason being these parts have roughly the same operational life and will fail all together or like mine did one after the other in same month. Save some money on coolant and time. The cost of this job is below totaling 2 hours to someone with light mechanic work and roughly 76 to 80 dollars for parts. Long comment, also if you care about your hands and time replace those dang cheap hose clamps, 5 to 6 bucks gets you all the clamps with screw driver tightening mechanism. $12.00 coolant (Dex Cool 50/50 1gal) $21 outlet hose Dorman 626-609 $21coolant outlet valve Delco or Dorman 15-11105 $22 coolant reservoir 603-383

Thanks for this! Almost replaced the outlet valve. Checked this and mines cracked! Advance Auto has it now as does Rock auto.
Hey man, do you have to bleed out the cooling system after replacing the hose? i’m not sure if air would be getting in the system or not
Great video man! Subscribed!

Hi there, I need to replace my inlet valve as well. Is draining the coolant a must before doing so?
Thanks in advance.
