MITZONE Upgraded Aluminum Coolant Housing Compatible with 2011-2020 Chevrolet Cruze Sonic Trax Volt Buick Encore 1.4L with Inlet Hose and Oil Cooler Hose Replace 25193922 902-846

I had a problem with the coolant leaking from the original plastic part, and trying to find a replacement for it. I have checked both my local auto parts stores to see if they have it in stock, they didn't and I would be missing alot of days for work.I have found the part replacement looking on Amazon to see if one was available within the day to deliver, luckily I found one and the part being metal instead of plastic. I'd verify if the part was compatible for my car model and its good.Part came in same day just a couple of hours after placing the order, a simple switch and now the car does not have any leaks, or heat issues and its holding up well when I left the car on for about hour idling, the parts itself hold up well with the heat level that I have been stress testing it. The part basically is the same functionality as the plastic one but not being plastic, and you can still use the pre-existing gaskets and coolant reservoir line as a backup if it breaks or leaks.Part itself was a good find and good price total compared to the plastic one either being close to double in price if I had order through my local auto parts stores (delivered 2 or 3 days later). I needed a part replacement within a day and the part came in just acouple of hours after placing the order.I am relieved and satisfied that the part came in (within the same day) and solved my problem before I lost days of work. Works good, good fit and holds up well with heat and a good replacement from plastic to a metal one.

Nice to have an aluminum part, vs the plastic part that has broken twice. Part fit as designed, no issues. Only took about 25 minutes to remove/install. Would definitely recommend as a replacement. I'd add Loctite to the threads, as the screws were barely over hand tight when removing the original part.

The MITZONE aluminum coolant housing outlet is a fantastic upgrade for my Chevy Cruze. The build quality is excellent — the aluminum feels sturdy and durable, much better than the original plastic part. It comes with the inlet and cooler hoses, making installation hassle-free. Since installing it, I’ve noticed better heat management in my engine, and it gives me peace of mind knowing it won’t crack or leak like cheaper parts. Definitely a worthwhile investment for anyone looking to improve their cooling system’s reliability.

Good part fit well

This water outlet is a great upgrade over the stock plastic version. Installation went smoothly overall, but I did run into a leak at the coolant recovery hose. The issue was that the clip cutout has a sharp edge, which kept cutting the O-rings during installation. Engine oil alone wasn’t enough to help, but a little Vaseline did the trick, and I was able to source a replacement O-ring from a Harbor Freight kit.One tip: if your upper heater core hose has been exposed to oil, it’s worth replacing at the same time. Mine had turned gummy and looked like it was about to burst.

I wanted to wait some time before writing this review, just to give the part some actual use in my son's 2015 Chevrolet Sonic LT Turbo. My son and I have become familiar with keeping this small car running. I does have it's fluid leaking challenges and in this case coolant was the issue. There are many (most?) parts in this engine that are heavy plastic that over time may fail. The engine runs very hot and we were concerned that this leaking coolant water outlet, with multiple hose connections would just fail again with a plastic OEM. Took a chance on this product. After several months, very pleased so far with it's performance and durability. It is aluminum so we are hopeful it has lasting power. We took our time putting it on and insuring a good fit with the engine block. It went on well, fit like the original and the hoses all went on as they should. The only thing difference is the top reservoir hose that comes out vertically, not the same run as the original hose and sticks up a little. It still works and after several months it does not seem to be an issue at all.

This water outlet kit fit my 2013 Chevy Cruse 1.4 turbo perfectly. No Leaks! Much better than the plastic OEM parts. This item is not available at my local autoparts stores.

Ok I wish oem would've just made these coolant parts like this to. Begin with! This one is of good quality, but the oring that seals the degas bottle line was wrong and poor quality. Leak in pic and right o ring size in pic. Do yourself a favor and get a good oring for this! I went that route instead of removing the part and sending it back to have a new one show up with the same problem.
