Keep coolant moving to the cabin heat with the GATES heater hose 12485, a factory-molded ThermalPro Premium hose that drops in as a direct-fit replacement for the 2012-2016 Tesla Motors and 2012-2016 Tesla S. This small I.D. molded coolant hose is pre-shaped for today's tighter engine bays and is cataloged for the rear drive inlet-to-tee position, so it follows the factory routing without splicing lengths of straight hose.
Built to Gates' molded coolant hose standards and close to OEM specs, this GATES molded heater hose can also carry water and air, and is approved for marine use.
Do not use for fuel or oil transfer. Gates recommends fitting new hose clamps whenever a new coolant hose is installed.
