• Part of the Gates Small I.D. Molded Coolant Hose line, factory-molded in an OEM-style shape for smaller, tighter-fitting engine compartments
• Made similar to OEM specifications
• Built to resist electrochemical degradation, which is the leading cause of hose failure
• EPDM tube, synthetic fiber knit reinforcement and EPDM cover
• Meets SAE 20R3 Type EC Class D-1 and D-2 specifications
• Rated for -40°F to 275°F (-40°C to 135°C)

Look the hose over with the engine off and cool. Coolant seeping at the hose ends, a sweet coolant smell, or a swollen or cracked hose can mean this heater hose is worn, though a loose hose clamp or a cracked coolant reservoir can leak the same way. Trace the leak to its source before you replace the hose.

It fits the 2015-2021 Chevrolet Trax and the 2013-2017 Buick Encore.
