From the description : "High quality reinforced rubber for higher pressure than original rubber hoses". So it's OEM but not really OEM as they claim it's better than the original...

It came yesterday, I've messed about working out how to fit it for far too long. Quality seems pretty good, if anything it's thicker and heavier than the old one. But...
The seal at the top end is the wrong size. So I reused the old one, not a very big deal, but I wasted a lot of time trying to use the new one first.
Also, the black plastic clip which holds the spring clip (also at the top end) was broken. Again, nbd, but a bit annoying.
I'm a lot more annoyed now I've managed to drop the old plastic clip down somewhere it's unreachable. Is the clip really needed? Please say no
How about a bit of duct tape?

Got there in the end. Not enough light yesterday, couldn't see how it needed to line up. Had to push up on the rubber hose to bend it slightly, then the elbow clipped on fine.
Idk if a more expensive hose would fit slightly better and be easier. Maybe just that it's so cold the hose is more rigid than usual.
