Replace a common cooling-system weak point with the Brass Inlet Manifold Coolant / Water Hose Adaptor, designed for Holden VN, VP and VR Commodore models equipped with the 3.8-litre ECOTEC V6 or earlier Buick-derived 3800 V6 engine. This heavy-duty replacement fitting takes the place of the original plastic inlet manifold adaptor, which can become brittle after prolonged exposure to engine heat and coolant. CNC-machined from solid brass, it offers a robust alternative for restoring a secure coolant hose connection at the inlet manifold.
