Default Need Better Hose Options Than Britpart

I just put in all new Brit Part Hoses and I kid you not ... they are starting to bubble and weaken after only 100 miles .. this should be illegal to sell ..

What are the good hoses with the threading that last a long time .. ?

Post a pic of the hose if you can, I’d like to see the damage you’re talking about. Anyhow, have you contacted the vendor for a replacement? Must be a defect if it let go at 100 mi. I’ve never had any issues with the Britpart stuff.

For coolant hoses I use genuine. Buy once, cry once. Definitely do not use UroParts. I don't have much experience with Britpart hoses

I wonder if your head gasket is failing and over pressurizing the system...

I've been running Britpart hoses for miles upon miles and never had an issue, it is my go-to new hose manufacturer.

It's sad to say but you get what you pay for with $hitPart!
I use Genuine or Gates if available.
