Hi, everyone
I am so glad to register to this forum,
I need your help please.
I am searching for a coolant hose; I think it called hose thermo by-pass or thermo by-pass pipe.
My friend have a Chevrolet Malibu 1998, V6 .
To the coolant reservoir connected 3 hoses, elastic hoses.
For one of the elastic hoses is connected a steel hose(which called thermo bypass hose), it is about 2in length.
I need this part. (Marked with red color in the attached pictures)
I take pictures of this part
I need your help for this part I want to buy this part, and I don’t find it in any site.
So please if anyone know how the part is called exactly, or catalog number, etc please help.
*see the attached pictures of the part (marked by red color)
Thanks a lot
I am waiting for help

It's called the thermostat bypass pipe (P/N 24506749). I don't suppose it's in great demand.

EDIT: I strongly suggest you call a GM parts counter and verify the part number.

In forums like this you'll find quite a few abbreviations. P/N means Part Number. Since English is apparenly just one of the languages you speak and not your mother tongue it's understandable.

But if that was my car I'd remove the steel line that's in the housing and find a plumbing fitting to convert it from a GM-specific part to something you can pick up at the local hardware store. From the pics it looks like a simple tube screwed into the housing with a tight bend in it. Put a street elbow in there to turn it and then a straight barb fitting to attach a hose with a hose clamp and you can just replace the tube and hose with a long hose.

Or you can figure out another way.

But no matter what you do, all you need to accomplsh is getting the coolant from point A to point B. It ain't rocket science.
